Bahraini government has made new announcement to ban political slogans and sermons including criticism of the ruling al Kalifa system.

The Islamic Affairs and Waqf at Bahrain’s Ministry of Justice has warned the prayer leaders and religious scholars against any sermon on political issues and criticism of normalization of relations with Israeli regime, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).
 
The bureau has issued a statement to announce that the mosques across the country are under constant observation to assure what it calls calm for the worshipers and respect for sanctity of the place.
 
The statement also added that the role of orators and prayer leaders are restricted to boosting the mission and role of mosques in a society.
 
The Islamic Affairs and Waqf at Bahrain’s Ministry of Justice has expressed regret over repetition of illegal views in Friday prayer sermons and called for commitment to protection of religious pulpits from politicization.
 
The ban comes after the latest Friday prayer in Imam Sadeq (AS) Mosque in the western part of the capital Manama where the prayer leader delivered speech on the political issues and economic situation of the Bahraini citizens.
