Struggle to defend religion just started: Bahraini clerics

The statement came three days after the Al Khalifah regime launched a full-scale military raid on the northwestern village of Diraz, situated some 12 kilometers west of the capital Manama, to suppress a growing protest staged in solidarity with the top holy man, Sheikh Isa Qassim, the spiritual leader of Bahrain's Shia majority.
