High Bahraini Clerics: Our existence and beliefs are being targeted
http://almuqawim.net/?p=7451

In the name of Allah the Merciful the Beneficent
Praise and blessings be on Muhammad and his holy progeny

We state the following:

We the Shia section of society, as a fundamental component of this nation, believe we are being targeted in a way that threatens our existence, our identity, our beliefs, and our practices. As such, we demand an end to this persecution.

Sheikh Isa Qassim
Sayed Abdullah Al-Ghuraifi
Sheikh Abdulhussain Al-Sitri
Sheikh Mohammed Salah Al-Ruba’i
