peace be upon all
Bahrain is supposed to be a country run by Muslims.So how in the first place did they allow these vices to be introduced is beyond any beleiver.All these vices must go and if the tourists go with it so what.If they are only interested in vice then let them visit countries that allow filth and vice to flourish and we can visit Bahrain with our families knowing all well that at least we will no be confronted with filth

What a Shame
Posted by Ron at 23:37 UAE time
I used to live in Bahrain in the 90's for over three years. I occationally check-in to see how my former home is doing. I performed in a band part time after my day job was done. All of us musicians used to meet at the Bahrain International Hotel on Fridays to jam, mingle, and have some fun. I remember playing at the Palace Inn, and your current Amir would buy me Fosters and I was thankful. I like that guy. It's too bad his father died, he was a nice man too.
Bahrain gave me a sense of being somewhere fun. The bahrainis are a nice and kind people. I don't see where banning booze is going to improve anything. Resposible people behave in a responsible way, regardless of what laws you pass. On the contrary, those foes that ruin things for everyone always seem to get away with it....what a shame.....

It's a point of view...

I guess you have to stick to a plan and move ahead with it. It's hard to ban something which has been there for ages. especially when people ahve invested money an dtime on it. I suggest Bahrain has to choose what they need. Alcohol and other activies will run no matter if its banned mainstream. Only differnce thsi will cause is the perpective the rest of teh world willhav eon Bahrain. To be in sync and in homogenity with the world one msut let different cultures have there bits and peice. The way bahrain seems to be going is as Iran or saudi has been for ages. They can sustain themselves because of teh resources they have. Only difference here is Bahrain wants to regenerate revenue from Tourism. What a laugh. Why woudl anyone want to spend their hard earned money travelling to a country where there is very little natural beauty. Just a bunch of hotels and sand... I hope the F1 circuit is removed as quick as possible from Bahrain and moved to a more moderate Arab country. This has nothing to do with Islamic values. This is just a way to say we can do what we please and you arent welcome here. I predict the time has come for Bahrain to come back to the dark ages and wish them luck when there town is filled with nothing but fishermen and old souqs.
I also hope they go a step further and stop Bahraini's from travelling outside and then why not stop the internets and cable TVs. Why not Ban english. Ban all fast food joints I'm sure it isnt in arab culture either. Why not stop the automobile and ride camels instead.
What i'm really trying to say here is if you ban it here then you are saying make your culture yours or get out. This is so much more than just alcohol. This is freedom of choice.
DOnt make your decisions for us. Rather you teach your children the pro's and cons of every situation. I think more than alcoholic bahrain's have drug issue.

Applause to the Sheikha Mai for this daring step, which should be supported by the Islamic scholars The Bahrain people should understand the benefits of having a clean country and hence should support in implementing Sheikha Mai's decision. Staying away from Bahrain, in the neighboring country i could only make my supplications in this good cause.

Going back!

Just because you can't enjoy life it doesn't mean you should ban other people from doing so! The worst thing is going back to where you began 50 years ago!

Liqour ban Bahrain
Posted by Don Ho at 07:56 UAE time
Having lived on the island of Bahrain for a number of years previously, I can confirm that, for the GCC at least, it is close to being the 'pleasure capital' of the Gulf. Every Thursday evening the traffic pours across the causeway into Manama, and the airport taxis work flat out. Sunday morning the papers are full of stories of arrests for drunkenness and prostitution, fights in hotels etc. The backstreets behind the main thoroughfares are full of 'short-stay' hotels, and girls openly wait on the streets at night. Alcohol is available everywhere, all sorts of restaurants, hotels and bars, even near mosques (especially in Juffair and Adliya). The Muslims who are trying to reclaim their society are a small voice against the financial interests of the business owners. The article says that the head of the hotel owners association claims that "The ban will hurt many people whose income and families depend on hotels". You could probably make the same argument for the cocaine trade in Colombia...........!

May Allah bless Sheikha Mai.

Well done Sheikha Mai. In Sha Allah you will be rewarded for your good deeds. People can do business the clean way. It is not an excuse to say that some families depend on this type of "dirty" income. Everyone should think about the results of this type of business. Let us not try to compete with bad cities around the world. We can do better by attracting good people who are interested in good things. We should not try to attract bad people to make "dirty" profit.

What about at the Duty Free?

So why promote such activities then?
Posted by Kaptain at 14:23 UAE time
An Internet report has ranked Manama among the top ten vice cities in the world, the daily notes.
So who expect such activities would brew something divine, someday?
Such activities end up bad.
Proper planning has to be in place. This isn't Europe.
