#1 Lol - these Islamic Action Society fools think they're in America or the UK. Look, boyz, here you can do all sorts of outrageous seditious shit and not only get away with it, hell, you'll get support out the wazoo. You can do everything short of actually attempting to overthrow the government by force. And even then , you'd have the ACLU, whack-job socialista judges, et al, behind you.
Over there, well, you've got a Kingy Thingy who likes being King and can do whatever the hell he wants. The status quo is his primary concern. Fuck with that, and you'll get thumped. This "office closure" strikes me as the mildest thing he could do to someone who's trumpeting sedition. I'd think of it as strike one. But that's just me. |
A Bahraini political society has been ordered to close for 45 days for "illegal activities," a government statement said yesterday. A statement issued by the Ministry of Social Affairs said the Islamic Action Society has been temporarily closed due to "the illegal activities which violate the rules under which the society was established." The closure order came a few days after the group, part of the four-society opposition alliance, organised a public forum to honour 73 former political prisoners, convicted in 1981 for plotting to overthrow the government. Sources said speeches at the forum were "provocative" and contained "insults to national leaders."
