"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

Bahrain Five Years after the February 14 Uprising
The Washington Post's political science blog Monkey Cage is running a retrospective series for the five-year anniversary of the Arab uprisings, with an article published on or near each country's respective anniversary of the onset of protests.
I contributed the Bahrain article, which carries the somewhat overwrought title (not mine), "How Bahrain’s crushed uprising spawned the Middle East’s sectarianism."
