Crowd Storms Restaurant Over Alcohol
Fri Mar 19, 7:38 AM ET

MANAMA (Reuters) - Some 100 Bahraini Islamists shouting "God is Greatest" stormed a French restaurant serving alcohol in the pro-Western Gulf Arab state and threatened diners with knives, witnesses said on Thursday.

One diner managed to wrest a knife away from the Islamists and stabbed one with it, causing him severe injuries, a witness said.

They said the assailants, opposed to the consumption of alcohol banned by Islam, also threw gasoline bombs at customers' cars parked outside the restaurant near the capital Manama late on Wednesday, damaging nine vehicles.

"Abound 100 young men, shouting Allahu Akbar (God is greatest), came to the restaurant carrying knives and shouted at the customers: Why do you drink?," Jahanshah Bakhtiar, owner of La Terrasse Restaurant, told Reuters.

"They were acting as if they had the right ideas and people should obey them," he said, adding that there were about 40 customers in the restaurant.

Security police investigating the incident declined to comment.

Bahrain, headquarters of the U.S. Fifth Fleet and the Gulf's banking hub, has traditionally enjoyed a more liberal atmosphere than some of its more conservative neighbors.

It allows restaurants, bars and night clubs to serve alcohol but has recently witnessed a rise in protests against Western-style events deemed immoral by Islamists.

Bahraini newspapers reported on Thursday that young men had attacked a house in a village where they suspected foreign workers were producing alcohol.

Nothing sparks fear in the heart like a 50 cal handgun round barking 3 foot flames and a concussion that will knock you off your feet.

I thought Islam only proscribed the public drinking of alcohol. I know plenty of Muslims that drink. Pakistanis especially love a drop or two. Seems like this drinkin phobia is more cultural than religious. SE Asia is heaps more mellow than the Middle east for getting on the wallop.

It's a reaction to be told by certain US politians that Islam is 'Evil'.

Not that suprising really. 'You tell us we're out and out wrong, we'll do the same.'
