Bahrain Mirror (Exclusive): Finally Al Bilad newspaper apologized on Friday 25 June 2014 in a brief note, mentioning what it called "the unintended words" used in a report by one of its journalists that were said to "insult" the Shiite sect. The apology came following 3 days of angry reactions from the people towards the newspaper and the writer. However, on July 23, and instead of a direct and clear apology, the newspaper sarcastically responded to the anger wave in its editorial through which it talked about its principles that refuse to molest sects and religions. In addition, instead of admitting its mistake which irritated the whole sect, the newspaper called for what it described as "keeping everyone and on top opinion makers away from mongering!"

How could a writer in an official newspaper openly insult the Shiites belief? Was this insult exceptional, or was it part of a continuous drive to insult one sect, which with time has gone too far. The insult is like the fire abyss, if you don't extinguish with sand, the flames will devour more and more.

Since the beginning of March 2011, the authority has launched its humiliating campaign towards the Shiite. It translated it with what was known as "rooting up" and which is still continuous to this day. It has also encouraged the wicked sectarian writers, mouthpieces and speakers to show their evilness. Although the government did not dare to directly to insult the Shiite "belief" in its official press, it devoted its newspaper to exercise all downgrading ways to target "the Shiite component". The officially followed code since 2011 and until now was: I do not target your belief, but I target you because you belong to this belief.

The authority assigned the disclosed humiliation for the Shiite sect and its beliefs for other unofficial platforms in order not to be charged with it themselves. It also mobilized takfirist troops among people.

Known criminals, such as the former Salafist Colonel Adel Flaifel, who is well known for his torturing record and abusing his official post to steal people's money and threaten them, were used. The authority also assigned religious men such as Abdullatif Al Mahmood, the MP Jassim Al Saeedi who delivers sermons on Friday (Salaf), the former 2 MPs Mohammed Khalid (Muslim Brotherhood) and Nasser Al Fadhala (Muslim Brotherhood) to deliver sectarian speeches and spread hatred among the Bahraini society. "Al Mut'ah Sons" speeches became familiar and Takfir also became the belief of every one and every pro-power group who insists upon the infidelity of the Bahraini Shiites and who accused them for nationally betraying their country. Covered with these speeches, a campaign of excluding the Shiites from the government and all aspects of making use of the government's good, wealth, and services is being made.

After 16 March 2011 and after clearing the Lulu Roundabout by extreme force, "Al Mut'ah Sons" speech became more prominent, which is a degrading nickname, used by the extremists in power and some of its advocates to offend the Shiite opposers. Al Mut'ah is a terms used in the Shiite jurisprudence which is known as a temporary marriage or Mut'ah. This nickname is often used by Salafists and Muslim brotherhood Sheikhs, in order to harras and defame Shiites, claiming they are children of what they believe to be unholy marriages.

Other inciting issues were raised after that, in particular the case of "cutting the tongue of A'rfan, the muezzin" which was acknowledged later on to be a lie. The authority said the Shiite youths cut the muezzin's tongue for sectarian purposes.

In the same context of inciting and triggering the sectarian sedition, "the Child Omar's" case was raised. In this case, the teacher Fawziya Hassan Kazem was accused of regularly insulting a Sunni child for his name, something that she totally denied. As a result, the teacher was fired from her job although she reiterated her innocence.

The platforms that target Shiites started attracting such voices that are full of hatred and sectarian sickness. These voices could finally find a way for their hatred and sectarian malice; thus, they immediately took advantage of these platforms. As a result, the abyss became larger and its flames started to devour more.

Some official employees posted their hatred openly on social media networks pages. The Bahraini army spokesman, Khalid Al-Buainain, who recently appeared with the king's son Nasser bin Hamad, tweeted on his account describing the Shiites as: "Their God is of human. Their sinless are gods. Their sheikhs commit adultery. Their children are of no ancestry. Their rituals are shirk. http://bmirror.ddns.net/news/14393.html. The public insults did not stop for they were never addressed by the authority. The author Hafiz Al Shaikh also tweeted and described the Shiites as: "the Shiite community in Bahrain", their Azan is a "fashion" and their Mahdi is a "myth".

Jassim Al Saeedi, the salafist MP called the Shiites in one of his sermons "bastards" and that they were all born as a result of unholy sexual relationships. Al Saeedi is one of the religious men run by the deputy prime minister, and cabinet ministers Khalid bin Ahmad. Al saeedi, who enjoys state protection, did not receive any punishment for his inciting of hatred and crimes against the society.

These are just more samples presented by Bahrain Mirror. It was but the official authorities that incited directed and planted the sedition bombs to blow the society up and divide it. This discourse continued until that of the former colonel, executioner and the known criminal Adel Flaifel who said that Sheikh Isa Qassim and the Shiites are unbelievers and described them as polytheists. It is to mention that in his speech, Adel Flaifel openly threatened to arrest Sheikh Isa Qassim and kill him.

Tarek Al Amer who writes in Al Bilad newspaper, owned by the PM's son, continued this series when he provocatively mocked Shiite rituals. Despite the objections, Al Bilad newspaper mentioned the incident without properly apologizing or bearing responsibility for what it had committed. The mention was almost an insistence and stubbornness, however, under the great popular pressure and the official fear from dangerous outcomes as a result of Tarek Al Amer words, the newspaper was obliged to fire him. Indeed, everyone knows that Al Amer's original place is in the office of Hussam bin Isa Al Khalifa, the Prime Minister court head. In addition, the public prosecution has not effectively reacted yet; the political and human right associations say that ways to start legal proceedings are protected by the authority and on top the royal court.

Who lights a fire, gets burnt. This was what the official authorities tried in Bahrain when their measures were turned to be a burden on the authority itself. The international reports and organizations started charging it in public for marginalizing and oppressing the Shiite sect on the grounds of religious and sectarian basis.
