آية الله قاسم رجل إصلاح و سلام( إستقامة، ثبات، سلمية) - قاسم، عيسى احمد - الصفحة ١٤٢

This reality that everyone saw in the eruption of the Arab Spring must confirm to those who aspire to silence the peoples voice here in Bahrain, that if all clerics that are wished to be dead had died or were imprisoned or deported, if they emptied the area of every political figure, all that, will not affect the movement of the people and their insistence on their fair demands.

Then came the role of the Arab regimes who went through the conflict with the their peoples movement on different levels. Some tried to absorb the shock one way or another with early reforms in a way that was able, or sometimes unable, to calm the situation. Others knew nothing other than the language of force.

Some regimes allowed the peaceful protests that demanded reform and dealt with it with political skills such as dodging and circumventing the movement, it though they were annoyed by it and tried to get rid of the embarrassment it caused them. Other regimes, however, punished people for raising their demands and perused and harmed every critical voice to the regimes, and which demanded reform.

compounds the problem and deepens the crisis. It intensifies the condition of persecution.
