Unreliable and untrue
Unfortunately the information posted in this article is somehow misleading. the 99% Muslims in Bahrain are half Sunni and half Shi'a. The common known majority of shi'a is completely wrong. these numbers if issued from a government branch of the U.S are under a lot of questions. As there ware no government discrimination in the kingdom of Bahrain against any religion or community. The information in this article is wrong. Jassim A.

- Bullshit.
- "Shiites, who represent as much as 70 percent of Bahrainis, say they face job and housing discrimination from the ruling Al Khalifa family and its supporters. The country experienced clashes between Shiites and police before parliamentary elections in October."

- "Many, probably the majority, of demonstrators in Bahrain, are Shi'a Muslims. They make up the majority of the population, probably outnumbering Sunnis two to one. Yet the Royal family is Sunni, and Shi'as face discrimination. They're not trusted to defend the country, for fear they might be close to Shi'a Iran, so the government drafts in Pakistanis and other Sunnis to serve in the army - a cause of huge resentment."

Forced Religious Conversion
The section on forced religious conversion uses some very misleading phrases that deter from the point that no forced conversion takes place. I am going to rewrite the whole section without the extremely negative tone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.67.47.145 (talk) 02:25, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
jewish community
the jewish community was vandalized and jews were beaten and persecuted in 1948. also those anti-zionistic cartoons are more like anti-semitic cartoons which are quite similar to the same propaganda used by the nazis. idk who here wrote that piece of garbage but it is a bunch of lies. jews in bahrain usually practice in secrecy, they usually walk out of their homes wearing kaffiyas over their kippot. they are not as respected as that article makes it seem.--Star-of-David92 (talk) 05:06, 7 March 2010 (UTC)Star-ofDavid92
