Hi, I guarantee you will like this video. This shows how much Yemenis hate the Saudi king.

Myronbeg (talk) 14:30, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

LOL. Bahrainis haven't done that, yet. Saudis are leading the counter-revolution; they're hated by Tunisians, Egyptians and anyone who is able to see their real image. Syrian opposition will eventually learn the reality of Saudis who were keen to arm rebels and change "peacefulness" of the protests into the devastating current civil war. I hope they do before the country is turned into a Salafist theocracy. Mohamed CJ (talk) 19:59, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

I hope so, but I don't think they can be saved anymore since Saudi Arabia has control 95% of the whole Syrian opposition, and neither is the Bahrainis as like what you say about the population. The only hero they can count of with are the Saudis and the other 4 Gulf nation's citizens. If they can manage to make an uprising in the mainland of Arabia then the Saudi regime will forced to withdraw the jihadist in Syria and the mercenaries in Bahrain back to suppress their own Saudi people.

Anyway, in case you miss an important event, there's a 16-year old kid died in Bahrain during the al-Quds day.

Myronbeg (talk) 03:40, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Everything seems to be getting worse. First they postponed 13 activists trial, then they sentenced Nabeel Rajab to three months jail and last night (actually just four hours ago) I slept with the news of this death. I don't get how is the Bahraini government supposed to be preparing for the September UN human rights conference by staining its image further. Those fool, greedy and reckless Arab leaders are driving their nations into darkness. Yesterday, Saudi and Israeli flags were burnt. One Israeli flag had King Abdulla image in it instead of Star of David. It was awkward not to see USA flag burned though (unless I missed it -unlikely-). Mohamed CJ (talk) 03:51, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Three months? I thought he was recently jailed for like, three years? [1] But of course I've been expecting this. The al-Khalifa regime can't release all these leaders because these are outspoken leaders who calls for overthrow of the monarchy, and that make sense for the prisoners to remain in jail for a long time.

But wait, did you just mentioned Saudi flag "got burned"? You mean that green flag? I don't believe this! There was a Shahadah script on it, and Muslims never will dare to burn such flag with that holy script. On the other hand, when I watch the Saudi protesters moving in the Eastern Province, it seems like since the arrests of the cleric, they have stop short of waving the Saudi flag aside from waving flag with banners and the Bahraini flag unlike their previous demonstrators which saw them carry the Saudi national flag. What really happen? Did they change their stance already?

Edit: Few days ago, my Sudanese friend studying in my same campus sent me this music video. It's a message sending not just to the Arab republican dictators, but as well as all the six Gulf nation's monarchy. Hope you enjoy this.

Myronbeg (talk) 04:29, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Man, the same mistake again. Maybe inside me I'm still not believing it; it's too much for him. Umm, yes I mentioned that, but I meant their images, sorry for not being clear. It was Israeli flags, Israeli flags with Abdulla image and Abdulla images.

What I think is happening is Eastern Province is that al-Namir became so popular because he was outspoken, unlike the other clerics. He threatened to call for right of self determination if Shia weren't given equal rights in 2009. Those in Eastern Province and February 14 Youth Coalition met in the demand of right to self determination. As you have suggested above, to gain freedom in Bahrain, one must force Saudis to withdraw their support to Al Khalifa, it seems this is the trick. Those in Eastern Province share too much with Shia in Bahrain. They both are Shia oppressed by a Sunni government loyal to the west, Bahrani ethnicity (who lived in Bahrain historical region), have long-standing marriage relations and dialect is somewhat close as well.

Nice song, talkes the real problem regardless of who is who or what is his tribe (I didn't understand much from the third guy btw :P). Won't those four be in trouble for showing their faces though? I know a guy in Bahrain who was jailed because he made a song in February 2011 about this poem: إذا الشعب يوما أراد الحياة *** فلا بد للقيد أن ينكسر. Mohamed CJ (talk) 05:03, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Not at this time. Hell, I'm sure you like this too. This was the video showing the anti-Al Saud protests in the Saudi embassy in Cairo. Hahaha, I love it when they chant says "The Ka'aba doesn't belong to your mother".

Myronbeg (talk) 06:16, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I've seen this one before ;) Mohamed CJ (talk) 11:01, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

About Syria, when somebody like As'ad AbuKhalil criticizes both sides, you can get a very funny response from both sides of the supporters of Syrian regime and the opposition. If AbuKhalil criticizes the regime, pro-regime supporters will accuse him of being a Zionist agent, and that he was paid by the Western imperialist governments to do "Western propaganda". Then, they go deeply saying that he was a supporter of the Sunni Salafi extremist side.

http://lizzie-phelan.blogspot.com/2012/03/my-reply-to-angry-arab-news-service.html?spref=fb

Its so pathetically funny, because ON the other side, if AbuKhalil criticize the opposition, the pro-opposition supporters will accuse him of being an Iranian agent, and that he was being hypocrite guy who backs the bloody dictators and that he was a staunch supporter of Hezbollah.

http://www.maysaloon.org/2012/03/some-comments-on-angry-arabs-coverage.html

See that? Arab Spring is a way magic revolution which exposes both sides hypocrisy. What do you think about this contradictory? Are the both sides dumb or what? They couldn't see their foes too were criticizing this guy (I presume you know who he is).

Myronbeg (talk) 11:13, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

This reminds me of last year in the period before and after BICI report was published. The chair of the commission was Professor M. Cherif Bassiouni and was getting criticized by both sides, although not as harsh as above. He once said that he though he was doing a great job as long as both sides weren't completely satisfied. Regardless of the content of the report (which in some parts I find unnecessarily biased to the gov), I find Bassiouni to be correct in that, and that is apparently the case with AbuKhalil (who I think I saw him once or twice on Al Jazeera). Seems Lakhdar Brahimi could face that as well, if not already. Mohamed CJ (talk) 16:11, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Syria comment

"This will probably change nothing on ground; those weren't able to do/change much, if anything during the months they were active. As far as I know, their best work was to document/prove that some killings happened there or there, but they couldn't stop it, in fact violence escalated to civil war status "on their watch"."

Spot on. Spot on. The whole mission was a pathetic, useless attempt that only resulted in more deaths. It was absurd. --Activism1234 04:48, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

Helpling at WP:FFU

Hi! Thanks for helping out at Wikipedia:Files for upload. I noticed when you completed a request you noted that you weren't familiar with how FFU works, so I just thought I'd direct you towards the rather difficult to find instructions. You'll also notice that the request page has a cheat sheet in the editnotice for quick reference. It seems there's a bit of a backlog right now, so if you do some more reviewing it would be greatly appreciated. Happy editing! —JmaJeremy✆✎ 06:31, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, there was this IP address who asked for help at WT:DYK. I helped by uploading the image and nominating the article for him/her. I guess it was just a one-time thing, but I promise to read instructions if I ever need to visits the page again ;) Mohamed CJ (talk) 07:05, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Al Jazeera

This looks interesting. It was during the month-long #SudanRevolts. Do you see that lab-coat guy on 0:24 showing off his light-blue paper? Is that the logo of Al-Jazeera being cancelled out?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6r2XeiaCu9k&feature=plcp

Myronbeg (talk) 13:24, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Yes. They're praising Al Arabiya and condemning Al Jazeera. At 0:35 a child carried anti-Jazeera paper as well. IMO Al Arabiya is much more biased than Al Jazeera, but maybe it's coverage for Sudan protests was better. Mohamed CJ (talk) 14:25, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

Lol, as I expected. This is because according to my Sudanese friend, he told me that the Bashir dictatorial regime was an Ikhwan Islamist, something that was supported by the House of Thani rather than the Salafis or pro-Western liberals backed by the House of Saud. This makes sense that Al-Jazeera has widely despised by the Sudanese as a symbol of Qatari regime, if I didn't analyze wrongly. This is similar in a vice-versa way when the Yemenis are anti-Arabiya but they often praise the Al-Jazeera newspaper.

I guess As'ad AbuKhalil was right about the two royal families: They are fighting each other for regional power. Oh, and do you saw a recent Sharqiyah Twitter claiming that King Abdullah was transfer to USA due to detiorating health? Can't tell if it was confirm. Myronbeg (talk) 15:00, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

We keep hearing about the Saudi getting ill and older. You never know the credibility of this news, although I have s feeling it's true this time. Mohamed CJ (talk) 20:56, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

These are pictures regarding protests in Yemen. A picture is worth thousands of words describing how the Yemenis are not pro-Saudi or pro-Iranian. Do you realize that Yemen and Yemenis can actually become the some sorta Arab revolution base consider they have no bias views towards Syria and Bahrain? There are some old pictures which will depict the two green star Syrian flag and the 8-spike Bahraini flag, but they were meant for the solidarity with the people, not the regimes consider Yemenis don't have much money to keep new flags.

This is why I think Yemenis should really deserve good respond from both Bahraini and Syrian counterparts, though it's sad that the two of them didn't manage to communicate well when the Muslim powers (especially Saudi Arabia) were trying their best to sectarianize the Sunni Syrians. Maybe the Yemenis should host both of them to tell about the two Mideast rival powers hijacking their revolution, I don't know.

EDIT: This is the only Syrian opposition leader who openly backs the Bahraini revolt, but that's about it.

http://www.thearabdigest.com/2012/02/bahrainis-voice-support-to-syrias.html Myronbeg (talk) 14:46, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

I remember seeing many Yemeni flags in protests between September and December 2011. This one on 22 September in Tubli. This one from 18 November in Bori. This one from 21 December at Eker. We really appreciate Yemenis backing up rightful demands. The thing is, there are many Yemenis who work in Bahrain security forces which most protesters are barred from joining. This sets a barrier between people. I recall being stopped by a Yemeni officer two months ago, because I (driving the car) crossed the road while a police patrol was moving the other way. There was good space between the cars and my action was completely right since the patrol wasn't flashing lights, yet I got myself some seven punches and he spat on my face for nothing. I know this doesn't represent Yemeni people and this guy is probably as oppressed in his country, but this creates a sort of barrier.

About Syria, as long as Syrians are following media channels and outlets that are pro-Syria and anti-Bahrain, they'll get wrong conceptions about Bahrain protests and the same can be said about Bahrainis. Syria flags were risen here in Bahrain as well, but that was before the Syrian opposition used the three star flag. Ever since only the pro-gov used them and they even made a visit for FSA. But of course they are apparently doing it for sectarian reasons. Mohamed CJ (talk) 19:57, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, you shouldn't take serious about him, albeit they sometimes can attack you for no reason. You will never know they in reality don't hate the Bahraini protesters, its just that because the corruption is so rampant in Yemen until the dictator stole their money, and Yemenis are just extremely poor and unemployed so its possible that this guy had no choice but had move to Bahrain to sign up whatever he can to get income, just that he has gone the wrong place. Probably this guy also doesn't want to attack you in the first place, but what the hell, that's King Hamad's protocol. Maybe if you can try talk to him about his politics in Yemen and Saudi Arabia then its possible that he may reveal his/her truth, I'm just saying :P

I'm bother by the Arab media claiming that Yemenis wave the green Syrian flag and show anger against inteference of Iran in Yemeni affairs funding the Houthis, and last few months there was an issue where Saudi Arabia is trying to restrict the Yemenis from going to Mecca making pilgrimage as a revenge for what they did to Saleh after a Saudi diplomat was kidnapped by the al-Qaeda. So they make a protests and carry the poster of King Abdullah and President Hadi, condemning the kidnappings. But to say that they are pro-Al Saud? Come on, you know that they FORCED to do that. I mean, if excluding both the sectarian Islah and the Houthis, why would the Yemenis wave the Bahraini flag and chant solidarity with Bahrainis in the first place if they are really "pro-Al Saud and anti-Iran"? Why would the Yemen post chief Hakim Almasmari also condemns Saudi Arabia too? And not to mention if you hook up at the Facebook page, you can notice there's tons of anti-Al Saud comments coming from the Yemenis, and not to mention that video I sent to you earlier. Bottomline, ever since the Yemenis overthrow the despotic Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen (a royal family backed by the backward polygamous Saudi leaders) in 1962 and convert to Republic, Saudi Arabia has since shown hostile towards the Yemenis. And when they managed to install a puppet in 1978, and you know who is that, the Saudi regime has since start to bully the Yemenis until the present day.

By the way, remember there was a resurgent of Salafis destroying the Sufi tombs and mosques in Libya? This gets interesting. On Wednesday, for the first time ever in Libya, the League of Libyan Ulema has issued a statement condemning Saudi Arabia for "financing the groups and providing funds to advertise Salafis to destroy tombs", and draws links between the Salafists, the former Gaddafi regime, and Saudi Arabia. I never thought they would condemn the Saudis if they were in the first place brainwashed by the Salafi and Ikhwan kooks.

Sehla or North/South Sehla?

I'm about to make the North Sehla page, however, I am having second thoughts. Should I form a North Sehla and South Sehla page separately or should I make a Sehla page that includes both? I'm seeking a second opinion here. --Droodkin (talk) 18:52, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

I think just Sehla would do good. I'm not sure if this is historically right, but I think they were only separated into north and south after the road was constructed in 70s-80s. Same could be true about Eker as well. Mohamed CJ (talk) 20:42, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

A Sehla page sounds good. I'll make the North/South Sehla pages simply redirect to their respective sections in the page. On my to-do list tomorrow! :) --Droodkin (talk) 20:21, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Verdict

So, the fake "verdict" came out, and all revolutionary leaders in Bahrain (including the recent Nabeel Rajab) all got jailed. I've been arguing and expecting this when my doubtful friend claims that your Napoleon will show "mercy" to them and release since they had a re-trial. I argue that because your regime saw these leaders as a key for establishing a republic in Bahrain, therefore they will never release them in a million years. Do you have any comment on this, just for curious?

Do you notice that to topple a regime, the people need to occupy or takeover their main square in the capital? I mean, notice that the regime topples only AFTER the revolutionaries occupied the Avenue Habib Bourguiba in Tunis, Tahrir Square in Cairo, Martyr's Square in Tripoli and the Change Square in Sana'a? One thing I can argued is that, the regimes in Syria, Bahrain, Sudan will never fall unless they takeover their square, just sayin'.

Myronbeg (talk) 10:51, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I'm updating the article currently and will comment on this later, meanwhile I've nominated this to be on the mainpage. Mohamed CJ (talk) 10:57, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

This decision will only deepen the current crisis. It will further radicalize youth and pushes anyway any hopes of a near solution. Pearl Roundabout, the main square has been militarized since 16 March 2011. There were three serious attempts to take it back, however each time only few are able to make it due to the heavy security forces presence and blockade of roads. The regime will not fall if protesters reach the site, but in would be a great victory that would ease the way for such goals. Mohamed CJ (talk) 13:11, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

My point about the occupation of square is that I don't mean the regime will instantly fall if the revolutionaries has taken over their capital square. I cite one example like Taghyeer Square (Change Square) in Sana'a. It takes them at least one year to occupy their square so that Ali Abdullah Saleh will step down. Yes, it will take a very long time to wait for the regime force to submit their demand, but its better than NOT occupying it. But one thing for sure in Bahrain, it's very funny to see how the regime's propaganda is trying to spread some stupid news claiming "stability is back to normal" [2] but they had never DARE to open back the former Pearl Square. Also, thanks to the nearly 19-month revolution, the economy in Bahrain just keeps shrinking.

Now going back to the verdict. I've been told that the youths are easily radicalized when it comes to politics, but what about the middle age Bahrainis and those adults? Were their demand has radicalized?

Myronbeg (talk) 09:55, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Yes I get your point about occupying the square and agree with it. I don't think that many of adults are radicalized, since they don't participate in clashes. If you look at casualties list, you'll see that most recent deaths as a result of clashes are youth. I'd say that most of those who clash with police are 15 to 30 years only, with some exceptions of course. About demands, people really don't mind getting either a real constitutional monarchy or a republic as long as they'll be living good in a democracy. Those who want the fall of regime do so, because they lost all trust in it and think it will betray any future deal just as it did many times in the past. The most hard-line opposition leaders who called for a republic such as Abdulwahab Hussain and Hassan Mushaima said that if a real con. mon. can be reached and people accept it, then they'd drop their demand for a republic. One time one of them said they only raised this demand to keep the government between two roofs so that they'll at least pick the lower roof. Mohamed CJ (talk) 10:16, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Yesterday there was a clash in the central of Manama and I have updated some of the timeline of the uprising since Jan 2012. You should come there and check if there's any error. Myronbeg (talk) 05:40, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

GA, etc

Just reading the comments above...pretty sad state of Yemen. I knew it too. Why accept an idiotic election by and for one twirp who was part of the regime? They finished off their own revolution (which should NOT be the WP article name). Any update on Karman? Shes got personal int'l noteworth...perhaps the first female head of state in the Arab world? MB would pull off a massive coup as shes with them and has global credibility now. (quite proud that i spotted notability on her and MOJWA before othes ;))

Also, what happened to user Bahraini activist?

More importantly, im reviewing Bahrain Bloody Thursday and Day of Rage (Bahrain). Could you reciprocate with a GA review for 2012 Guinea-Bissau coup d'etat?Lihaas (talk) 10:09, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

ill do Day of Rage later, done the former thoughLihaas (talk) 10:56, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing! I need to read reviewing guide before I can start a review, but that shouldn't take more than one or two days. As for my username, I restored the original name as I had two incidents in which I was pre-judged due to having "Activist" at the end of it. Mohamed CJ (talk) 11:18, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

For user Lihaas, this will tell why the Yemenis had no choice but to accept a feloul regime rather than the dictator himself.

http://www.yemenpost.net/Detail123456789.aspx?ID=3&SubID=4813&MainCat=2

But the good news is, the revolution is not over yet. The people of Yemen are still demanding the lifting of this sneaky dictator's immunity and prosecute him for killing 2,000 Yemenis. And as for Karman:

Hmm, havent heard much in a while, hope its not lost momentum. But should the article not be "revolution" yet as nothing has changed other than a resignation. (revolutions need some sort of fundamental structural change)

BTW- was curious how the response in and outside Bahrain is to this issue. How much Sunni support is there outside Bahrain? More so in light of Syria, which is what delegitimises Syrias opposition, IMO. The face of the Aab world has change (no one will dispute) but it may be a sectarain negative after syria.

Also as an update, ive posted a note to the GA that the changes are coming along well and quickly. Ill just give a quick overview and post if there are issues, (which i imagine youll answer soon) and well before the end of the week we could have a GA.Lihaas (talk) 10:38, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Bahrainis were back-stabbed so bad after 2001 when 98.4% accepted government reforms. That's why many Bahrainis view the situation in Yemen as a half-solution that in few years will take them back to the first square, unless they completely remove Saleh's regime before that. Mohamed CJ (talk) 10:55, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

For user Lihaas, the Tunisians, Egyptians (excluding the Salafis and the Ikhwanizers) and Yemenis (excluding the sectarian ideology of al-Islah) so far are the current ones supporting the Bahraini revolt. And as for Syria, the radical jihadist and those calling for military intervention are the ones destroying the Syrian revolt. The opposition is now 95% completely hijacked by the Saudi and the Qataris. Christians, minorities and secular forces are now afraid to join in the revolt thanks to the two royal families, and now this will strengthen Assad's claim of "killing terrorists".

It should have noted that Bahrainis aren't the only ones gets betrayed, the Syrians who sees Hafez's son (you know who) as a "reformist leader" when the hardliner dictator dies at 2000. There's a lot of similarity between Syria and Bahrain, can you name 10 of them?

By the way, I just got a word that the AQAP-linked Ansar al-Sharia militants in Yemen are withdrawing troops and re-deploy in Syria to "jihad against the butchers of Muslims". I can't help but wonder one thing: Would they ever sent their troops to jihad against the dictators in Bahrain and Sudan? Myronbeg (talk) 11:55, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Thats the most tragic counter-revolutionary aspect that has divided arab unity (and muslim even) for generation o rmore. Faults on both sides (Hezbollah and Riyahd, etc)...although the former's support for SUnni Hamas in 2008 (when they took the hit) was a show of solidarity that wasnt reciprocated. Tragic, but a lesson to learn for whenever ArabSpring 2.0 (and IF) comes abutLihaas (talk) 12:20, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

But don't you see the bright side of Arab Spring? It has exposed the hypocrisy of EVERY sides. It exposes the hypocrisy of Saudi Arabia (champion and guardians of Sunni and Islam), Syria (champions of anti-Zionist and pro-Palestinian), France (champions of secularism), UK (Champions of non-Muslim rights), the Ikhwan and Muslim world Hollywood theologian star Yusuf al-Qaradawi (Champions of pan-Ummah and pan-Sunnah), Iran (Champions of Shia and Muslim human rights), and most of all, the worst hypocrite, USA (Champions of freedom, human rights and democracy). You want the truth that every sides are being hypocrite, or you want a blind lie where a delusional "unity" occurs? Not that I'm being pessimistic. But it gets very interesting that it even exposes the hypocrisy of media in the whole world and especially all the mainstream opposition in the whole Middle East. Bottomline speaking, I wouldn't say the Arab Revolt is a failed revolt, but its' just about to begin. Myronbeg (talk) 13:20, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

BREAKING: Shots fired in Al-Awamiyah. One person shot dead by security forces while chasing one of the 23 most wanted activists in Saudi Arabia. Myronbeg (talk) 13:46, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

But explosing without anything is frutiless and breeds more anger as in the counter-revolution. See a free East Saudi and Bahrain would get support for Syria's opposition, but theyre hijacked. Syria's "hypocrisy" nt the same (though with iran and the west is clear, as well as the Turks (Kurdistan?) and the Gulf Arabs. Syria never claimed and then opposed as in Palestine. Have they made mistakes, yes. But its htemot likely to result in positive change IF there is accomodation on BOTH sides.

Not saying its failed, its had positives for sure. (also just remembered even Palestinian hypocrisy on Hamas and otherwise (Fatah) is exposed). Tunisia's th emost likely democracy and stable as of today. Though why secularists can BAR hijabs and then cry about allowing free will i dont get. As in Turkey, the democracy nature must allow it.

Controversy film

Hi there. You maybe were busy about the revolution in Bahrain, but do you saw the recent event about the protests and attacks in US embassies over the past two days following some crappy anti-Islamic film? Any comment for this or any signs of similar protests in Bahrain? Just being curious. Myronbeg (talk) 14:15, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

No, nothing like that will happen. The U.S. Embassy is already surrounded by barbed wire. This goes back to 2007 when a similar incident occurred and one protester was killed. I hear there is already heavy presence for security forces there now. There will probably be some protests from and sit-ins at mosques about this tomorrow, but nothing expected more than that. It's worth mentioning that U.S. is in a weird situation in Bahrain; hated by pro and anti government, the first for "pressuring" the government and the latter for "supporting" it. Well, now they have a common reason to hate it even more? Mohamed CJ (talk) 17:46, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Updated Casualties of the Bahraini uprising (2011–present). Mohamed CJ (talk) 11:54, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

So what exactly happen during yesterday? Two weeks ago, the mass demonstrations planned by al-Wefaq now appears to arrive inside the center of Manama, and now yesterday was the second time where revolutionaries making demonstrations at the same centre of Manama, except at the historic market. Are they planning some new strategy or what? I mean, all the while they have only manage to rally outside or at least the sub-urb of the capital city? Myronbeg (talk) 13:19, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Both of them were very similar. They aimed for Bab al-Bahrain, but couldn't make it and instead were confined into clashes with police at the old market. I'm not sure what next they're planning. I guess we'll have to wait and see. Mohamed CJ (talk) 12:43, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Dude, do you just saw what happened in Al-Awamiyah yesterday? Apparently two men were shot dead and another (unconfirmed) were killed in the car. The opposition intel ثورة المنطقة الشرقية (The Revolution of Eastern Province) says the security forces were trying to arrest one of the 23 most wanted activist for organizing the anti-regime protests. I saw the photo, and the floor in Awamiyah looks very bloody.

PS: One of the guy who was killed apparently WAS one of the 23 activist. Myronbeg (talk) 08:10, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks Mohamed for your notes, I am impressed by your contributions to Wikipedia and your notes were really very helpful Bahrain Analyst (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 08:14, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Please have a look on this draft ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Bahrain_Analyst/Bahrain_Opposition_Parties_Marches) please let me know if you have any suggestion on fields, format,etc before I start on rest Bahrain Analyst (talk) 19:34, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Also another thing, is it allowed to translate the Agenda for Alwefaq in total from (http://www.alwefaq.org/index.php?show=pages&id=66) and add it in the article or is there any kind of cautions so i need to be aware about it?? Bahrain Analyst (talk) 19:55, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

I'm not sure if it's good idea to make list for protests, but if one is created, then it is better to be a Stand-alone list with a defined criteria for inclusion (e.g. anti-government protests with over 10,000 participants).

Not it's not allowed to translate word to word, because it's a copyright violation of copyrighted content. Also, try to avoid close paraphrasing by expressing the idea with your own words.

Another point is references. You shouldn't reply much on primary sources, instead you should look for secondary or tertiary reliable sources. For instance, when writing about Al Wefaq, you might want to use this ICG report or one of the following books:

• Abbas Mirza al-Mershed, “The Islamic Movement and Its Chances of Developing into a Party: The Case of al-Wefaq National Islamic Society in Bahrain”.
• Abbas Mirza al-Mirshid and Abd al-Hadi al-Khawaja, Al-Tanzimat wa al-Jama’iyyat al-Siyyasiyya fi al-Bahrain(Bahrain, 2008).
• Baqir Salman al-Najjar, AlHarakat al-Islamiya fi al-Khalij al-Arabi (Beirut, 2007).
• Research Institute for European and American Studies, The Victory of Al Wefaq: The Rise of Shiite Politics in Bahrain (Athens, 2007).
• Falah Abdallah al-Mudairis, “Shi’ism and Political Protest in Bahrain”, Domes,
• Uzi Rabi and Joseph Kostiner, “Shi’is in Bahrain: Class and Religious Protest”
• Falah Abdallah al-Mudairis, Al-Harakat wa-alJjama’at al-siyyasiyya fi al-Bahrain 1937-2002 (Beirut, 2004)
• Kenneth Katzman, “Bahrain: Reform, Security, and U.S. Policy”, Congressional Research Service (18 February, 2011).
• Laurence Louër, Transnational Shiite Politics: Religious and Political Networks in the Gulf (New York, 2008).

I hope this helps. Mohamed CJ (talk) 09:46, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

I forgot to mention this, but if you are a member of Al Wefaq or are affiliated with it (or other parts of the opposition), then it's important to read Wikipedia policy on conflict of interest. Have a nice day :) Mohamed CJ (talk) 20:28, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

I saw this amateurish video just now. I think it was shot in Yemen. Didn't know that after for more than one year, Yemenis still didn't forget about the Bahraini people aside from remembering the Syrians.

Interior Ministry claims that a Bahraini policeman has died from injuries on Thursday night after bombing. Myronbeg (talk) 14:44, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Yes I'm aware about these developments. I just don't have time to update the article. There are 3 missing deaths from the article now, if you could provide all links here I'll make the update.

I'm not very optimistic about developments in Kuwait as I don't see a strong motivation yet for people to challenge the authorities, besides the movement is led by opposition official parties and not the youth which is a killing factor. I predict that soon we'll see a copy of the "Al Fateh gathering of national unity", however this time it will be mostly Shias! Mohamed CJ (talk) 08:56, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Bahrain Bloody Thursday/GA1

Hi Mohamed. Just curious as to what the status of the Talk:Bahrain Bloody Thursday/GA1 review is. Not much action there in the last onth or so. Left a note with [[user|Lihaas}} reminding him as well. AIRcorn (talk) 01:40, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Hey there. I also left a message for Lihaas a while ago. I'm not sure why he's not responding, but I think the article was just awaiting one minor change before getting promoted. Mohamed CJ (talk) 15:50, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

If he doesn't respond soon I will finish the review for you. He seems to be editing, but didn't respond to his own GA so maybe he has moved on to other projects. AIRcorn (talk) 16:35, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Let me know if there's any way I can pitch in, too. Nice job on having this one close to promoted! -- Khazar2 (talk) 16:55, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

I would appreciate that.

Always good to have you around :) Mohamed CJ (talk) 08:15, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Lihaas replied at my talk page and it seems he is still wanting to review it. You might want to check with him about waht needs doing. If you still need another reviewer just ping me, or Khazar if he is willing. AIRcorn (talk) 08:33, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Done, just an issue left in the detailed review sectionLihaas (talk) 23:53, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I've changed "leader" to "figure" and added a reference. Mohamed CJ (talk) 03:33, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Does he have a title? Its little vague and doesnt indicate his specific notability. Hit me up when done, or just comment on the review page.Lihaas (talk) 08:09, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Other than Ayatollah or cleric, no he doesn't. Reuters referred to him as "the island's top Shi'ite cleric", BICI (pages 75-76) referred to him as "the leading Shia cleric in Bahrain", Irish Times "Bahrain's top Shia cleric" and Euro News "Bahrain’s top Shia cleric". This is really a minor thing and I don't think it should stop us from.. you know. Also, thanks for providing the link. I'll hopefully add it shortly. Mohamed CJ (talk) 10:25, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Yep, ive done that, but the article really needed a review (now done). Ive noted some specifics in the table on the GA page and put some tags on the article i couldnt answer. Really shouldn't take more than 5 mins to do them and then we wrap up the GA with congrat s all around ;)

Also is this pertinent to the article? and these may be of interest[13] or to add somewhere [14]Lihaas (talk) 10:00, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Fixed all. I'll add these later. Mohamed CJ (talk) 15:43, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

Couple of things: "According to an unnamed Al Jazeera reporter" the source indicated the reason for the blackout right? that should be enough? And the NSA/BDA acronyms can be added at first instance. But thats not gonna hold it up. Im approving now. Though im not sure about the colour codes for the quote boxes, ill AGF this one.

Good luck on FA if you hoose that pathLihaas (talk) 00:52, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Also see Wikipedia_talk:Good_article_nominations#Good_articles_in_DYK, you could add hthis one there.

Also if you dont mind, can you hop over to the GB coup page for the review and check that? Could repen and finalise. Ive hopefully answered everything but 1 tag which i will research and add in a few hours.Lihaas (talk) 02:29, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Death of Ali Abdulhadi Mushaima

Just did some rewriting. Would you like to check over to see I haven't distorted anything? I didn't understand what "fire trucks parks" meant - "fire trucks parked" or a "fire trucks depot". Opbeith (talk) 18:21, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Your edits are good, thank you. Well, it's (was?) really a Fire station (with fire trucks parked there). Mohamed CJ (talk) 08:13, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for that. I just rewrote the intro to emphasise that he was the first fatality. I said described the event as the "so-called" Bahraini Day of Rage - I've scarcely seen 14 February referred to as that except in reference to announcements that protests were going to take place. 14 Feb is more commonly described as the first day of the Bahraini Uprising, so Day of Rage is a bit misleading unless modified a bit. However that's just my personal judgment, please delete "so-called" if you think it inappropriate. Opbeith (talk) 14:14, 31 October 2012 (UTC) It's a grim photo but it's hard to think of a more appropriate illustration of the reality of arbitrary violence.

Al-Jaseem on Saudi and Emirati leaders

Hi, Mohamed. Take a look at this letter. I don't know why he mentions only this two leaders but not the Qatari emir, but I think based on his message, I think he was indirectly trying to warn the two leaders attempting to copy the same way by interventing the internal affairs in Kuwait just as the two leaders sending troops to Bahrain. Myronbeg (talk) 09:35, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Bahrain update

New section, woo hoo ;)
Anyhoo, the main page needs an update with the infobox casualties. Im updating the casualties page as a result of yesterday terrorist actions. For state terrorism, Penuinsula shield force should be marked with WP Terrorist?Lihaas (talk) 03:43, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

It needs an update yes. As for the other request I'm afraid only Bahriani opposition blames them, while BICI said they weren't involved at all. I know they're involved; police park their cars all the time near my house and chat there and during March-April 2011 crackdown I heard them very clearly on several occasions speaking Saudi dialect, however that is not going to be included here unless it is published in a RS. Recent developments make me sick, they're playing the same trick they did on the article you just promoted; the Hezbollah card! Mohamed CJ (talk) 06:07, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Don't be discouraged. Tricksy opposition is a sign that you're getting under somebody dishonourable's skin. Opbeith (talk) 11:45, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Behold!!! I'm please to announce you guys: The Napoleonic regime has revoked 31 anti-regime Bahrainis. Meanwhile, Kuwaitis will be staging another rally on this Sunday.

By the way, Mohammed. I want to ask about your opinion that do you believe one day there will be such thing as "pan-Gulf protest movement" happen in the future with any possbility? I'm talking about something like this. We are talking about simultaneous protests among Bahrainis, Kuwaitis and maybe Saudis?

PS: Speaking about casualties, 43-year old woman and 2 Asian workers just died. I have filled in at least the past six deaths (not including the 2 asian workers yet) but stop short of giving details, their age and where they come from. The Arabic name could be wrong, I don't know. Again as I said, you should be expert on this. Links has been providing for you. You can edit it anytime. Myronbeg (talk) 13:19, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

The Pakistani who was killed by mob on 13 March 2011 is actually 34-years old, according to the pro-regime propaganda machine Gulf Daily News. Now I have found the names for the two dead Asian workers (Indian and Bangladeshi), and recently another 16-year old teen who was killed by car. Links were already provided on those names.

Yousef al-Mahafdha

I started al-Mahafdha his own article now that his recent arrest generated some more news coverage. Want to take a look and see if I'm missing anything or have any errors? Adding the Arabic spelling of his name would be great if you could, too. Thanks! -- Khazar2 (talk) 14:07, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

That's great. I'll see what I can add and also add an image. Mohamed CJ (talk) 16:22, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

Kim Kardashian

This stupid socialite, just very, doesn't know anything about Middle East. When during the weeks where the Israeli air force starts bombarding Gaza, Kim respond it by tweeting "Praying for everyone in Israel", something that draws outrage from many Arabs and some of her fans, then she later add on "Praying for everyone in Palestine and across the world!" before removing both of the tweets. She had later plans to launch the so-called Millions of Milkshakes stores in Bahrain and Kuwait. But out of her smart alec way to prevent more criticism towards her, she sought to be a wannabe learner of Middle East. Okay, I'm fine with that, because its good that Americans and Westerners should learn more about Middle East to reduce their ignorant of hatred towards Arabs and Muslims.

But what really pissed off and insulted the Bahrainis is when she tweeted this. Yeah, that's how she learned about Middle East, or should I said Bahrain. But do you want to know how she felt on your country? This RT from your foreign minister before she deleted her tweet.

So it appears that she felt in love with your dictator! I can think off the way where alot of Bahrainis would really get pissed off with her. She reminds me of Asalah Nasri, to be honest. But hey, if she really wants to move in to Bahrain, could you [just sarcastically saying] invite her to Sitra and Bilad Al Qadeem for a tour? She really gotta see how many of the locals were tortured, arrested, maimed, killed, shot, beaten, mosques gettin' demolished and house bombarded with tear gas. After all, we need to use her as a tool to promote the forgotten coverage of Bahrain by the international media, right? I mean, the Salafite protesters drew thousands of articles per day compare to the daily protests. Myronbeg (talk) 13:47, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
