On what do you base these comments?

I think he’s alluding to the fact that the bulk of the “native” population is Shi’a and the ruling royal family is Sunni. The rulers are importing a large number of foreign Sunnis.

I've been to Bahrain over a dozen times, and that's far from my impression. It's hyperbole at best. The Bahrain monarchy are certainly not the most benevolent rulers, but they are dealing with Iranian backed Hezbollah fomenting revolution among their Shia majority. If the monarchy fails to suppress Hezbollah and their sympathizers, they will not be in power for long and Iran will have another foothold in the region.

KSA and the other GCC states are not going to accept an Iran supported satellite on their borders and they will likely do whatever it takes to prevent it. March with a Hezbollah flag in Bahrain and you will probably not like the consequences.
