Bahrainis are better off than many other Arabs. We have a welfare state, everybody gets a salary whether they have a job or not. Electricity and food are subsidized school and healthcare are free. And we don't differentiate between Bahrainis and foreigners. We are very proud of that.

May Allah guide us to the good of the kingdom of Bahrain and its loyal people.

By being friends with all, we are not alone.

The decision to open up Bahrain to embrace all people indiscriminately was fostered in me ever since I was a child.

I care about Bahrain. Bahrain is very dear to me. I will not allow people to play around with our laws.

If you like your brother and he's prospering, you'll be pleased for him.

Any government that has a sincere desire for reform and progress should understand the benefit of objective and constructive criticism.
