Bahrain Mirror: Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim, the highest religious authority in Bahrain, described the authorities' prevention of Ashura commemoration in Bahrain as a war against Imam Al-Hussein (PBUH).

Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qassim commented on the latest developments in commemorating Ashura saying "Allowing the opening of commercial complexes, markets, swimming pools and sports halls, while denying the commemoration of Ashura means: We do not want Al-Hussein, Al-Hussein must be expelled and the war is against Al-Hussein."
