Translation of mMms&ss letter from llaji Haaid
Bahreinl dated 26th September to H .B.M's Consul,
Basra.
*" ""ti"
"I beg to report that on the ?3rd
Kepteaber 19f9» the Persian Consul, Basra,
sent for me, and w :;en I went to him, he questioned
me as follows:-
Q - Are you a Muslim?
A - Yes.
Q - Are you a Shi'a?
A - Yes,
Q - Do you pray?
A - Yes.
Q - I do not think that you are a Muslim, as a
Muslim should be the subject of a Muslim
Government. You know that the people of Luqta
and Salhiyah in spite of the lostes they
suffered thereby, changed their nationality
and became lersian subjects. The Iraq
Government brought great pressure to bear
on them in order t o prevent them from chang
ing their nationality, but they bore all their
hardships and said they were Muslims and
therefore wanted to become Persian subjects;
consequently they did change their nationality
and became Persian subjects. You Bahrainis
who live in Persia and call yourselves Muslims
are friendly with an infidel ("Kafir")
Government and at variance with Islam. And
for this very reason we have treated you (all)
harshly
