Oh and,
Look up Ghada Jamsheer. She critisized the Royals throughout a book which went against certain parts of the Sharia Law, which she proved through religious texts that it's (what they tried to pass of as the Sharia law) is not actually part of the law and therefore it isn't part of Islam to begin with. She also writes daily columns critisizing things like the Family Law in Bahrain. She's one of our best journalists.
You wanna know what happened to her?
She got away with it. An entire fucking book. Not a column. Not a blog entry. Not an article. A book which hasn't been banned thanks to our new set of laws. There's been three cases against her in court and she won all three because they couldn't do anything to her after passing such laws.

Way to be up to date, too. Like I keep saying (and like you keep scrolling past so you can jump to 'post reply' and astound me with your utter ignorance) we've gone through massive political changes recently.
At least now I know why that was so hard for you to believe, though. Since you thought we were, you know... Iran.
