"The Battle of Karbala' still rages between the two sides in the present and in the future. It is being held within the soul, at home and in all areas of life and society. People will remain divided and they are either in the Hussain camp or in the Yazid camp. So choose your camp." — 'Ashura' banner in Manama, 2006

"Shouting in the Dark" 2?
In a new 25-minute documentary, "Bahrain: The Audacity of Hope" (is that title a coincidence?), Al-Jazeera English's People and Power series "revisits activists featured in an earlier film and hears tales of arrests and torture but also of hope." Not sure where the hope part fits in.
Qatar should expect another call from its friends in the Bahraini foreign ministry. I'm currently an at event in Kuwait so I don't have time to check pro-government forums (or Sh. Khalid's Twitter feed) for disparaging remarks about Qatar as with "Shouting in the Dark," but I'll go out on a limb and assume they're there.
