Al Khalifa Regime Destroys Mosques, Builds Church

The Al Khalifa regime is planning to build the largest Roman catholic church in the Persian Gulf region.

There are fewer than 100,000 Catholics in Bahrain, the majority of whom are expatriate workers from countries like the Philippines, Sri Lanka and India.
According to Al-Lolo website, the regime is going to spend $30 million to construct the church in Bahrain.
Ruler of Bahrain Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa has donated a 9000-square-meter plot of land for the church.
And yet, this is a regime that has destroyed 38 mosques in the tiny Persian Gulf country so far.
Destruction of mosques and religious sites has been used as a scare tactic by the Manama regime in its attempts to suppress popular protests in the country.
Dozens of mosques have been demolished in Bahrain since the start of anti-monarchy rallies in 2011.
Almost daily protests have been held against the Al Khalifa regime since February 2011, when thousands of pro-democracy protesters took to the streets, calling for the royal family to leave power.
