A Diplomat warns Bahrain King

According to the newspaper, a Bahraini ambassador would have also drawn the same parallel, saying that indeed the King of Bahrain could become the next Shah of Iran.

Several officials, both foreign and nationals actually urged King Hamad to consider fulfilling Bahrainis’ demands if anything to preserve the monarchy. They emphasized to the King that trying to get rid of the Bahrain Shiite community through deportation, imprisonment and the arrival of many Sunni Muslims would solve nothing.
