Senior Politician: All Muslims Insulted by Bahraini Regime's Measures
TEHRAN, April 25 (FNA)- A senior leader of Bahrain's Islamic Amal Party blasted the Bahraini regime for destroying religious sites in the country, and warned the Al-Khalifa regime that Manama has insulted all Muslims throughout the world by destroying Mosques and burning the holy Quran.
"The Al-Khalifa (regime) insulted the sentiments of all the world Muslims with such measures," Rashed al-Rashed told FNA on Sunday, adding that such moves prove the Al-Khalifa dynasty is a suppressive regime which does not care about the will and demands of its people.
He further stated that hiring foreign agents to suppress the people, burning 41 volumes of the holy Quran, detaining women during protests and destroying 28 mosques and other religious sites are among the crimes and strategic mistakes committed by the al-Khalifa regime against the Bahraini people.
Rashed called on the international organizations, the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) and Egypt's Al-Azhar University to show reaction to such crimes and condemn the al-Khalifa regime.
Several mosques have been destroyed so far as part of the Saudi-backed crackdown against peaceful protesters.
Bahraini security forces have been brutally suppressing anti-government protesters. So far, tens of people have been killed, hundreds of people have gone missing and thousands of others have been injured.
Demonstrators in Bahrain have been demanding constitutional reforms as well as an end to the 230-year-old monarchy, with hundreds camping out peacefully in the capital's Pearl Square since February 14.
Yet, tension has grown high after the Saudi military intervention in Bahrain. Bahrain, which hosts the US Navy's fifth fleet, is viewed as a very sensitive and determining factor in the power equations of the region.
To help the Bahraini government crush the anti-government protests, Saudi Arabia has deployed over 1,000 troops in the country.
