Sunni Muslim royal family declaring a Shi'ite Muslim group outlaws? Who'd have thunk it?

I was going to reply but this is well articulated. This is unfortunately the case. Bahrain is a very intolerant nation. Unfortunately, they have used military personal and ssg commandos from Pakistan (a country i sadly belong to) to put down the pro democracy riots in Bahrain. The democracy rioters happened to be mostly shia (they are a majority there) and maybe the civilians are getting some training from hezbollah now, hence the "terrorist label" on hezbollah.

Don't forget that the Sunni Muslim royal family also hosts the United States Navy's Fifth Fleet[1], and the United States also considers Hizbollah to be a terrorist organization.

What the goddamn fuck are you talking about? Hezbollah are fucking terrorists. Look at a timeline of their attacks carried out. You would have to be incredibly goddamned stupid to think otherwise.
