I told you it’s only a thing that we brag in the press, then it never happenes, the king want’s something to happen and as usual some people don’t understand what he want to say.

This kingdom is hopeless. :blush:

Don’t you think a ruler can make freedom happens if he/she really wanted to?

I give up

Are we take this as a step up in the warning-rhetoric?

“Bahrain’s King Hamad bin Eisa Al Khalifa has said studies are needed to allay concerns about potential deterioration of journalistic standards should the market become flooded with newspaper titles, Gulf News reported.
Bahrain has eight daily newspapers, six Arabic and two English. King Hamad reiterated his support for a free press to be allowed to operate in the kingdom.”

I have read in the mainstream media about what is going on in Bahrain and it is getting international notice. I hope that the situation will get better. Btw.. I like your ‘no shi’i no sunni’ button. It is about time for the to go by the way side. In Europe there have been so many killings because it was Protestant vs Catholic..
all the best,
Ingrid

Wow, this would be pretty scary, given the recent jailing of an Egyptian blogger. This isn’t a problem just in the Middle East though, but one that persistes everywhere and with a variety of techniques. It’s usually a symptom of governments or groups of people (Nixon, Cheney) who are living in like-minded insulated bubbles. Any dissent and they’re out to make an example of someone, in order to ward off further criticisms (scare tactics.) Good luck to him.
