Kapan orang Shia di Indonesia dibantai kayak orang Ahmadiyah? Dibantai, ditelanjangi, lalu setelah mati masih terus digebukin dgn diiringi aulohuakbar. Lalu yg masih hidup terus diancam spy masuk "Islam", sampe gubernur jg bisa ikut2an, hehehe...

"Do you see this ? This was a mosque until this week. They destroyed it," said a Shi'ite man, stopping his car in this poor Shi'ite village outside the capital Manama to point to another heap of masonry, where residents say another mosque once stood. A religious book lies on top of stones next to a carpet, branches of a palm tree and parts of a gate of a mosque, one of three reduced to rubble next in a residential area. "It was an old mosque," said the driver, who like other residents declined to give his name for fear of reprisals. Last month the royal family in Bahrain, home to the US Navy's Fifth Fleet, quelled mainly Shi'ite protests inspired by Arab revolts elsewhere, declaring martial law and calling in troops from Saudi Arabia and other Sunni-ruled Gulf neighbours. Hundreds of Shi'ites have been detained and others fired from public sector jobs, the opposition says. The government says it targets only people who committed crimes in the unrest. Now majority Shi'ites say the authorities have begun pulling down their mosques, a policy likely to inflame sectarian tensions further among the island's 600,000 nationals. The Justice Ministry acknowledges that what it calls illegally built structures, which it does not refer to as mosques, are being torn down. "The ministry will provide legal alternatives for buildings with a license for those cabins and facilities being removed," it said on its website. A Shi'ite mosque administrator, who gave his name only as Ali, said the religious authorities "didn't have a clue" when he called them to inquire about the demolitions. "The next day another mosque was gone here," he said, drinking tea with other residents in the shade of a house wall. Security troops and civil defence personnel came in the night with bulldozers and removed this mosque." Faisal Fulad, of the Bahrain Human Rights Watch Society, a Sunni politician close to government thinking, denied the policy was discriminatory. Large or old mosques were not affected. These are small mosques, buildings built there without papers," he said. "If you want to build a church in Germany or England you need to apply for a license," he said. But villagers in Nuweidrat, a decrepit place a half-hour's drive from Manama but a world away from its fancy hotels and bars, feel the demolitions typify anti-Shi'ite prejudice. They destroyed the mosques because we are Shi'ites," said one man, sitting on the ground with a circle of friends. Majority Shi'ites have long complained of sectarian discrimination in a country where the hardline Sunni prime minister, the king's uncle, has held his post for four decades. The destroyed mosques all had electricity and were registered with the proper authority," said a man in his 40s. The main opposition group Wefaq, which withdrew its 18 deputies in protest against the crackdown, said some 25 Shi'ite mosques had been razed since then. Some mosques were 20 or 30 years old, some had an older heritage," said a Wefaq leader, Sheikh Ali Salman, adding that some might have existed before the government required licences. Daniel Williams at New York-based Human Rights Watch (HRW) said he was surprised by the government's sudden interest in mosque licences when it was busy with security issues. The government knew about these mosques. They tolerated them for a long time," Williams said. "The sudden action makes it suspicious. This is not an isolated incident." On Thursday, Amnesty International said government opponents faced a "relentless and violent crackdown" in Bahrain. The Shi'ite mosque demolitions are taking place while the government is trying to show that life has returned to normal. Pro-government media quote officials, businessmen and expatriates thanking security forces for ending the unrest. The king has ordered compensation for soldiers and security staff wounded in the protests, including housing and other benefits for their families, state media said yesterday. - Reuters [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Post message: prole...@egroups.com Subscribe : proletar-subscr...@egroups.com Unsubscribe : proletar-unsubscr...@egroups.com List owner : proletar-ow...@egroups.com Homepage : http://proletar.8m.com/Yahoo!
