It saddens me to admit that sectarianism has taken over the gulf. Televised Witch-hunt on Bahrain TV & Sectarian Salafi TV Wasal has become people’s favorite. And that’s not limited in Bahrain only, but in most GCC countries. Unlike Saudi or Kuwait were both Press & TV dissipates sectarianism, Qatar have succeeded so far for keeping it off the media. Still, the polarization & prejudice is widening through social media
Tribalism has taken a new form with the wide call for boycotting & questioning the loyalty of Arab Shiite. Almost everyone seems to generalize that Arab Shiite are Iran Agents or have an Iranian Agenda no matter how many times they’ve denied that.
Al Jazeera's Saudi anchor Ali Al Dafiri wrote yesterday in an article “ We can’t see things with one eye. The suffering of our people in Bahrain is without doubt an injustice, and the people of the gulf general stand against their grievances is a great shame, and to link the popular demands in Bahrain with regional obsessions is only an attempt to acquit themselves of the great injustice”.
