We had former US ambassador to Kuwait James Larocco speak at my University about 3 weeks ago. He spoke about the Arab Spring and Bahrain. In a lot of cases, he mentioned the US likes to deal with the devil they know, than the devil they don't, and are not afraid of sacrificing basic rights in support of vital interests. In particular to Bahrain, the vital interest is the freedom of navigation, where a substantial amount of energy is flowing out that narrow strait to countries around the world. What I got out of the talk was that, interests > rights. So don't fall for that bullshit when they say they are committed to basic human rights around the world, when we ourselves rank as one of the worst violators.

Why didn't they talk about the religious and geopolitical reasons behind this? Bahrainis are mostly Shia and the government is Sunni, which is why Saudi Arabia supports the government and why the protesters want to improve relations with Iran. Ignoring this kind of stuff is typical of western reporting on the Arab Spring. We over-simplify the complex issues and label the protesters/rebels/opposition "good guys" and the government "bad guys". Of course the Bahraini government Is brutal and oppressive and i'm not saying they should stay in power but we need to look at what the protestors actually want as well and at their motives and the things that are at stake.

I looked for the most liberal Muslim countries and found a list that has Bahrain as #1: "Bahrain is the Arabic world’s most liberal country partly because it is the center for commerce in the Gulf. This outward-looking nature was further strengthened by education reforms started at the beginning of the 20th Century which spurred the development of the Kingdom’s middle class and thus gave the country a very different economic structure than many of its neighbors." If Bahrain is the best example of a liberal Muslim nation, I'm disappointed.

Very disappointing and one sided documentry from Vice. I was in Bahrain when this sectarian revolution started, those whom were not Bahraini shia were targeted by these 'revolutionaries' my family had to flee as they lived in a shia neighborhood, many people were killed mainly pakistani expats and all this happend before the police 'crack down' started. There are hundreads of videos showing what REALLY happend in salmaniya hospital and at the university of Bahrain sakhir campus; i highly recommend you watch them. This documentry also failed to mention why the police have such a heavy handed approach, police station were and are being attacked with hundreads of molotovs and explosives, police cars and police officers burnt by being blanketed with petrol followed by a barrage of molotovs. You can find hundreads of videos showing you these events. Once againg very disappointed with Vice for making such an biased documentry.

as a neutral Bahraini citizen i must say that although some of the points mentioned here are objectively valid, this video only shows the opposition's arguments; both the government and opposition are guilty of crimes against each other and rather than pointing fingers at who is innocent and who's guilty, both parties should be charged and judged accordingly, this is how justice will be made, this is not a simple matter where one party is absolutely guilty and the other absolutely innocent. All they've been doing in the past 4 years is using each others crimes to justify their own crimes, which causes a never ending loop of committing crimes and blaming the other party.

I have personally admired the topics covered by vice and vice news as they were always unbiased and objective and I never commented on any KZbin content ever but the content on this documentary provoked me and I will speak up. I'm an expat residing in Bahrain for almost three years now and when I first came to Bahrain I had no deep knowledge about the so called "unrest" and i analysed facts based on my daily observations and interactions with Bahrainis from both sects (Sunni's and Shia's) and built my conclusion based on that. Following are my comments on this documentary to both the reporter and the production team: 1. I would have really appreciated if the reporter took both sides of the story as truth is always somewhere in between. 2. Did the team do a research on the demographics of the opposition? Did you question yourself how come all the interviewees were Shias and I strongly believe it can't be a coincidence. 3. Did anyone ever wonder why were there flags with statements such as "يا حسين" raised by the protestors in the footage embedded in the documentary -if you don't get what I mean, research it-. 4. Did the reporter ask any of the interviewees what are they protesting for, what's the cause they are fighting for, what are the real reasons they are destroying "their own country". 5. Did anyone even bother to quantify the impact that this unrest had on Bahrain's economy and economical growth. 6. Don't you think that the expected reaction from any civil defence army all over the world when attacked by Molotov cocktails is to shoot tear gas canisters against the offenders? 7. Where did the reporter conclude from that Sheikh Nasser is a playboy!? 8. I invite the whole team again to visit Bahrain to proof to you that Bahrain is exactly what you see in glossy magazines and not what you have reported here. 9. The dictatorship and the regime that Nabil Rajab was offending has released him again a couple o weeks ago if you check Bahrain's local news. 10. A message to Nabil Rajab: "in any royal monarchy, the power is distributed between the royal family, I don't find it surprising that the king appoints his son as a crown prince; please do a more deeper research on royal monarchies. You might need to find a more solid reasons to justify why you oppose the ruling regime in Bahrain and its legitimacy" I leave you with all these questions and feel free to interact politely and objectively. Thank you.

Edward: The sad thing Is shias aren't even minority, they ar majority And the only real Bahrainies. Bahraini sunnies with Al chalifa family invaded the country 3 centuries ago And current gvm Is importing sunni foreigners And giving them citizenship while striping many shias from it. They ar walking there in their traditional punjabi dress And they own Bahraini passport. Many of the "Bahraini citizens" on high gvm posts can't even speak Arabic. That's how they ar slowly changing the ratio. Totally disgusting.

Reality is Bahrain is comparatively poor and the sunni royal family understandably favors its own supporters for government jobs instead of the shia rebels that want them gone. If the shia were to gain power the place would quickly be turned into a socialist shithole with high taxes (unable to attract investment), all the oil money going towards appeasing the masses and destined to starve once the oil is gone. Realistically the best thing in the long run is for the monarchy to stay and enable further economic growth.

Bahrain was and still is the best chance for one of these absolute monarchies/dictatorships in the Gulf to go down. I believe that it will happen sooner rather than later. I believe the whole of the Gulf and eventually even Saudi Arabia will see fundamental change occur within this century.

I am not really susprised by this. Of course we would never call out an ally of ours. How can we when Bahrain is home to one of our naval fleets? We are such hypocrites when we call out tyrants for their misdeeds yet our quiet when we have allies that do the same thing. At the same time however, if we support a rebellion there, not only will we lose a strategic asset, but it could lead to the rise of more fanatics which is the last thing we need.
