		<description>You asked too late! I left Bahrain on Saturday night and I&#039;m back in the UK. 

Any Ashoora pictures this year? Would love some pictures of the Haidar if you took any.</description>

		<description>Ali,
Happy Muharram? For a while I thought you were ill informed. It was like saying happy 9/11!!

However, I had a change of heart. No one will admit it but Muharram (apart from it being a month of mourning) is a time of great joy too; staying out late, meeting with folks you have not seen for ages, kids in black dresses and of course, endless supplies of free food. Not the mention the days off!

Perhaps it is time that we should all say Happy Muharam. Just like Happy Easter. After all there are many similarities between Jesus and Husain; both were men of great virtue, both embarked on a mission to save humanity from its sins, both new of the dangers and both died slow and painful death. Both live on.

So Happy Muharram too.</description>

		<description>Am visitin this website for the first time and this blog caught my attention. Though I think its a great idea I do agree with the comments made by bahraini (reply no. 7?).. i too feel shi&#039;ii and sunni, all r bahrainis.. or all proud to be bahrainis would sound better and wudn offend any (if some chose to b offended by no shi&#039;ii no sunni slogan i mean..)

I&#039;ve read Mr. Mahmood&#039;s reply too and am really happy that it went well last year during muharram. Am a resident of Muharraq, but i do not have any outlets here. But there&#039;s a mall here by name emax. can some arrangement be made with the owners or somethin so that we could collect our buttons from here?

i think T-shirts too is a great idea as mentioned in one of the comments, and i have one more way of getting the MESSAGE to everyone in Bahrain. yes, its in the previous sentence itself.. Y not do sms advertising (bulk) of the slogan thru batelco n zain? m sure some of the funds collected cud b used for this purpose??</description>

		<description>Ali,

What a great comment. Yes it is high time that people all over the world (not only in Bahrain) looked at other people as fellow human beings who should all be treated with respect and dignity regardless of their faiths, race or color. But it seems that is a dream that you and me are dreaming but then I would say to any skeptic; 
 
You may say that I&#039;m a dreamer 
But I&#039;m not the only one 
I hope someday you&#039;ll join us 
And the world will live as one</description>

		<description>Congratulations

I have one message for both sides of the sectarian divide, you are fighting over the wrong religion.

There never was a God, so it doenst matter if you are sunni or shia, christian or jew, we are the religion  - men and women, we don&#039;t have the luxury to blame some one in the sky. We are responsible for all our own suffering and have to take responsiblity for our own actions.

Last month a new meaasenger came to Bahrain and gave us a new message. Next month he will be in UAE, I suggest you go and hear it. God has abdicated and left this earth to us.

So, sunni and shia are just quaint little cultural customs which melt into the fabric of human history. It is time to take responisbilty for what we we do and look after our fellow companions.

Happy Muharram</description>

		<description>ut335...  Every heard the saying..  Empty vessels make the most noise..  Apparently the small box embedded somewhere in your tiny head is empty, your flapping gums are causing a commotion, yet useless. Don&#039;t waste our time (pleeeze), I would have respected you in you had an argument. Opps.. I forgot, you are empty.  :shock:</description>
