#2 I know what the king should do to light a fire under them.

Bahrain has only 500,000 citizens. But it also has 235,000 foreign nationals. Since this is a Shiite effort to gain power, the king should extend support for the foreigners, making it clear to them that they should support the Sunnis.

And even encouraging non-Muslims to become citizens with all the civil rights of Muslims, with the idea that any political migration should be to a secular, non-Shiite state with perhaps even a majority of citizens not being Muslims.

Of course it would likely be hooey, but it would make the Shiites and their Iranian backers about Shiite themselves.
