Haaq and the buttons

It has come to my attention that the political movement Haaq has distributed the Just Bahraini buttons during the Ashoora commemoration. It also appears that the buttons were distributed at the same time as they were campaigning for a political petition.

i3607_hhaaq991259.jpgWhile I do not want to politicise the Just Bahraini campaign, I recognise that others can, did and will politicise it with or without my consent to their own ends. I have no control over this and each is responsible for their own actions.

For the record, I have distributed 7,000 buttons during this year’s Ashoora and I do not know nor could I control how and where they are distributed.

All I hope to have achieved is for people to recognise the danger in sectarianism and think of ways to combat it in themselves first and then in others around them.
