APIC(APICONG) condemns the invasion of Bahrain by the allies of US and global imperialism

The current invasion of Bahrain by the Peninsula Shield Force under the leadership of the Saudi monarchy is to be seen in the context of the imminent Western invasion of Libya. They are two aspects of one and the same strategic move, and Libya and Bahrain are two fronts of one and the same war.

Bahrain is a US military base, the Saudi monarchy and the monarchic governments of the Gulf are key allies of US and global imperialism, whose importance is (slightly) surpassed only by Zionist Israel.
Libya, like Iraq, is a country that abounds in oil and vital resources.

Neo-liberal imperialism is enforcing its interests. It must be opposed by all means if the Arab Revolution is to survive.

We are warning against the misinterpretation of the Bahraini situation as a Shi'a-Sunni conflict. This is an intentional distortion of the facts, which serves the sole purpose of dividing the Arab Nation and the Ummah.
Sunnis and Shiites are united in their rejection of the undemocratic and grossly repressive rule of the Bahraini monarchy, which is a historical anachronism.

The rejection of Mu'awiya and Yazid is a question of pan-Islamic and universal relevance and exceeds the limits of denomination. This is not a Sunni-Shi'a question but a class question. Muslims are united in their condemnation of the Mu'awiya-Yazid dictatorship. Muslims are united in their rejection of the Bahraini monarchy and of the invasion of Bahrain by the united forces of Arab reaction.

The battle of Bahrain is not a battle of Shi'a versus Sunna. It is the battle of democracy against dictatorship.It is the battle of the people against their oppressors. It is the battle of the 21st century against medievalisation.
It is the battle of the forces of light and enlightenment against the forces of darkness and reaction.

People of Bahrain, people of Arabia, sons and daughters of the Ummah, we are calling upon you to resist this invasion. We are calling upon you to fight to the end, leading the Arab Revolution to victory.

It is true that victory does not come easy. But it is well that this is so. An easy victory is the wost of dangers, for it does not produce a strong and resistant revolutionary force.

If you find yourself doubting that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wills this revolution and has, by the power of Qadr, ordained its ultimate victory, we do not. The final victory of this revolution has been decreed from the first day of creation. You are invincible. You are our glory. You are the promise of the dawn. You are the first to walk on the roads of a new world. The people cannot be defeated.

We are Sunni in practice and Shiite in ideology. We are the unity of the Ummah. We are the Arab Nation revived and the East reborn. We are the new age struggling to emerge from the agonies of its birth.
