The mood in Bahrain

Another source from Bahrain:  "OK, the Bahraini officials are constantly attempting to delude everyone with the peaceful atmosphere in the country. There is a real fear in the Capital, that is why many people chose to restrain themselves from demonstrating, there are no clear 'activities' from either side in the streets there. However, I can give you a more solid image about the situation, many areas around the Capital are identical in their misery with the suburbs of Lebanon, where you can see a place filled with the Solidere-esque developments, and after that in two streets a crumbled residential area with no government support. In these places, the abducting and violence is being waved in peoples faces. The way people are dealt with by the Bahraini & Saudi forces is filled with violence, to the brink of unjustified hatred.   It feels like a gun is being pointed at the back of your head, at your thoughts, your words, your undisclosed opinions... Even though the political opposition parties in Bahrain have that line that they won't cross with the self-appointed 'King', a great percentage of the demonstrators label him as a criminal. They pointed out that he wore his military uniform 
before the first night assault on the Pearl roundabout.

PS: There is another issue about Bahrain I wanted to inform you about, but I need to wait & check on the individuals related to the story."
