Anyhow, I was talking to him earlier during this month about his topic and he was so upset about Alwasat. Saying that they deserve to treat themselves better and credit you and alaradi for the codes of ethics.

Because I know this person too well, I know he had nothing against Al-Wasat as a newspaper, but was upset that they chose to overlook a very important matter.

The worst part, as you said – people are not caring. Because it’s alwasat.

I love alwasat, it’s one of two of my favorite newspapers. But I have to admit, this is something upsetting.

What a shame.

I hope M. Al-Jamri stops to CONSIDER this matter…

*Cracks knuckles*
Can you please answer me a set of questions Muharraqi?

1- Is your sister, and your whole family committed practicing Muslims?
2- Is the guy in question, a committed practicing Muslim?
3- Do you agree with the saying that I have just came up with, which goes, a Shia might treat your sister better than 1000 Sunnis, and in return, you as a Sunni, might treat a Shia female better than a 1000 Shia?
4- When two people that have put aside their sectarian differences and decided to join in marriage, don’t you think that they took the first step in actually being tolerant and bridging the gaps between the two sects? (I’m not a very committed practicing Muslim and I don’t understand what huge of a difference is there between Shias and Sunnis, sure there are differences but here comes my next point)
5- There are differences between Shia and Sunnis yes, but are these differences enough to call a Shia or a Sunni a non-Muslim?
6- If the answer to 5 is yes, I rest my case and sit back calmly in my chair pondering if I should commit more to my religion which in core teaches tolerance. (Sometimes I try to make a comparison between what the Prophet (PBUH) used to do to the enemies of Islam upon capture and what we are doing to each other as Shia and Sunnis)
7- If the answer to 6 is No, then, in Islam, isn’t it Haram to fight another Muslim? (I see Muslims killing each other because of differences in sects, hell, I see Muslims from the same sect killing each other)
8- Society will outcast them (Reading the intensity of what they will face I started thinking they will be stoned). I am sorry, but if citizens of one country who are sharing the same country with each other, don’t start facing these issues, who will? I don’t know what will happen to them facing the society, but if no one dares to make the change, then all I can do is quote my buddy Gibran “Pity the nation ….”

In conclusion, all I can say is that people should really look into themselves, and re-discover their faith for before judging others (which are of the same religion but different sect created merely for political reasons), that they should complete their religion, that they should be true Muslims.

And one last question to ALL Bahrainis reading this…

“What is the fate or society’s outlook on a Bahraini marrying a Christian, or any other religion for that matter.”

Last but not least, here is what my buddy Gibran had to say looking at the Muslim and Arab world today:

“Pity the nation that is full of beliefs and empty of religion.”

I am not sorry if I offended anyone, actually I would be pleased, for people who will be offended by anything I wrote need to wake up, stop submersing themselves in petty meaningless differences and start dealing with the real issues such as hmmmm economy, education, and if you want to get religious on me, well the establishment of the state of Israel that is threatening our Arab identity and will in time root us out from the land where the Prophet lived in and loved…

Still Konfuzed by your tough words Mahmood
Hats off to you man, people like you make me feel there is hope still…

Marriage is a difficult enterprise to say the least, mixed marriages have their own extra challenges, but from first hand experience I can tell you that it works, and my marriage of 21 years is probably a testament to that.

As for the community thing, they will get to accept the situation eventually.

Before biting my head off please listen to what I have to say. I’ve met him. He’s a very nice bloke. Very well mannered, very respectable. But marriage is a very difficult arrangement. Its not only his manners that have to be taken into consideration. It’s everythings else. I am not against him because he is different. Don’t get me wrong. I am just worried. I am worried about many things, about their future. Their kids future. The social situation currently doesn’t leave much for hope. What happens later? Both sects are at each others throats and the situation might worsen. My parents will be shunned within their circles. The rest of my sisters will have a problem getting married to people within the same community. And then if this marriage does come through, what happens with the kids? How difficult is it going to be for them, to be brought up in a society that might not accept them as being of mixed beleifs? Is it the beleifs that matter any more or is it just people being pig headed? I am worried, I don’t want anyone to hold this against me, I am writing here cause I want people to discuss this with me. I hope you don’t mind Mahmood, I don’t mean offence to anybody, but we are all part of the same society and we need to come to terms with what is happening. I need advice and am willing to listen to everybody.
