#2 It is noteworthy that 33% of the people who live in Bahrain are not citizens, but guest workers. However 81% are Muslim, with 10% being Christian and another about 10% being "other".

Since their population is small, at only 709,000, the government could easily change various balances for different ends by bringing in foreigners and giving them citizenship. For example, import 20,000 Russian Orthodox workers.

The pitch would be that Bahrain is a warm and sunny place, like another Cuba. A vacation spot for upper middle class and wealthy Russians. They could stay at subsidized resorts full of Russian employees, so they would feel right at home. Even have some Russian Orthodox churches.

That would mean Russia would not be happy at all for Iran to Attack Bahrain.

The Bahrains could make a similar deal with China, giving their connected noveau riche a international place to hang out.

All of it would have heavy, internationalist business overtones, which is something Bahrain has been pushing for years.
