I trust the bill will be a dead-born baby for many reasons. Propped-up by cash flow statements, alcohol contributes huge amount of income to Bahrain’s economy, a key minister said once. For instance, a bottle of alcohol may cost sometimes up to $ 100; more than price of an oil barrel. Five years ago, a group of wahabi delegates met prime minister and asked the same on kingdom scale but he made it clear this issue is completely rebuffed.
The decision of Bahrain Air appears cost-saving plans, but, on long-term; alcohol will be on the menu for their passengers. Alcohol is an asset for menus of premier airlines.
Finally, a true joke to share with you happened last week. A long-beard wahabi in Bahrain Parliament claimed the symbol of ambulance cars (the cross, pole and snake) should be changed because it is related to Christianity!!!!
