Aal-e Khalifa Regime’s Animosity Towards Islam
By: Kayhan Int’l Staff Writer
While the eyes of the world are glued to the daily events of the terroristic war imposed upon the Islamic Republic of Iran by the worst-ever US president, the repressive Aal-e Khalifa minority regime of Bahrain has intensified its persecution of that Persian Gulf island’s long suppressed majority.
Under US and Israeli orders, the criminal clique of pirate origin in Manama has arrested a record number of sixty Bahraini religious scholars and six other nationals, subjected them to torture, and extracted false confessions from them for appearance in a kangaroo court that will hand them the harshest punishments – for no fault committed.
This is indeed the mockery of justice. The only fault of these Bahraini religious scholars is adherence to the teachings of the Ahl al-Bayt of Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) and to hold the annual mourning ceremonies on the martyrdom anniversary of the Prophet of Islam’s Infallible Daughter, Fatema az-Zahra (SA).
The persecution of members of the island state’s overwhelming majority is not something new. It has been going on for decades, but what is shocking is that this time the repressive minority regime has dared to detain sixty certified religious scholars – the largest number in the history of any country.
These days that are called “Ayyam al-Fatemiya” in honour of the tragic martyrdom anniversary of the Noblest-Ever Lady, when not only Shi’a Muslims but also many Sunnis pay their respects to the Prophet’s Daughter and commemorate her sufferings for the cause of Islam, the Aal-e Khalifa regime has transgressed all boundaries.
It is showing scant respect to respected religious scholars preaching the tenets of Islam, by accusing them of opposition to the regime, calling them Iranian agents, and denying them the services of any lawyer.
The Aal-e Khalifa regime is living in a fool’s paradise if it thinks through such barbaric anti-Islamic policies, it will prolong its repressive rule. It will certainly not.
The world has already seen the horrific fate of similar criminal regimes of the recent past, especially Iran’s British-installed and US-backed Pahlavi Shah, and Saddam of Iraq.
Both these bloodthirsty dictators were stooges of the US and to appease their devilish master, they persecuted, imprisoned, tortured, and killed tens of thousands of people, including the ulema and religious scholars.
They, however, miserably failed. as is evident by the emergence of popular people’s elected governments in Iran and Iraq,
The same fate awaits the Aal-e Khalifa repressive minority of pirate origin. Sooner or later it will be ousted, and thrown into the dustbin of history, one of its two masters, the US and the illegal Zionist entity, unable to save from extinction.
