Bahrain regime crosses Islam red lines

An Iranian official has warned the Manama regime against the ramifications of a recent raid by Bahraini forces on prominent Muslim cleric Sheikh Issa Qassem’s house.

According to Press TV, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian on Saturday said “Certain entities in Bahrain’s government have crossed the red lines of the Islamic world Shi’ism, and if they fail to apologize for this inappropriate action, they should expect an unpredictable reaction.”
The Iranian diplomat condemned the insulting act, noting that the issue is beyond Bahrain’s internal affairs and concerns the entire Muslim world.
The Bahraini government promptly launched a brutal crackdown on the peaceful protests and called in Saudi-led Arab forces from neighboring states.
Dozens of people have been martyred in the crackdown, and the security forces have arrested hundreds, including doctors and nurses accused of treating injured revolutionaries.
