What have the wahabis have to say for this ?

AL KHOBAR, April 27: Bahrain is nominating a Jewish woman as its ambassador to the United States, press reports said.

Huda Ezra Ebrahim Nonoo is Bahrain’s nominee for the post and this is of course very good news for Bahrain’s deep-rooted values of tolerance and openness,” Faisal Fouladh, a Shura Council representative, and some western diplomats were quoted in the reports as saying.

Huda Nonoo, a businesswoman, was also the first Jewish woman to sit in the Bahriani Shura Council, the 40-member upper house of the bicameral legislature, replacing her uncle.

She is also the first Jewish woman to head a rights organisation, the Bahrain Human Rights Watch, as its secretary-general.

The appointment of Huda is based on her qualification and not just ‘a public relationing campaign’ by the island kingdom, her colleagues in Shura insisted.

Huda Nonoo belongs to a tiny Jewish community in Bahrain, dating back to the Talmudic era. Her forefathers migrated from Iraq in the late 19th century.

Ghulambhai,

Thanks nonetheless ! Yes ! I am aware of this and I have lived there too....Bahrain is a lovely place and peaceful....it has a Sh'ia majority but a Sunni Government....the rulers are educated and intelligent....infact today I think even the present Saudi King is good also.....I hope he brings about some worthwhile changes.....and one person who impresses me a lot is Sheikh Nasrallah....regardless of what people may say...everyone is entitled to their views....but I like his style...he does not fool around...he means what he says.....and I think he restored the arab pride in the last war...this is again my opinion.....in Syria it is a Sunni majority but with a Sh'ia government and in Iraq it was the opposite save that Saddam was high handed maybe....but one does not go around eliminating existing governments and replacing them - rather they should have tried to change his thinking and attitude generally towards his people etc etc ....but then this is the blunder people make....and we all get to suffer the consequences.....what else can I say?.....zn
