Societies cannot move forward without law, and our constitution is the cornerstone of the law and our National Assembly is its umbrella and fortress.
From Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa
Democracy is not just constitutional and legislative rules; it is a culture and practice and adhering by the law and respecting international human rights principles.
Reform is the mission from which we shall not digress; it is an expression of belief and determination between us and our people. With the help of Allah, we will proceed forward in this promising national process within the natural progress of the life cycle and the development of people and nation.
May Allah guide us to the good of the kingdom of Bahrain and its loyal people.
Bahrain 's margin of freedom is growing day after day as we head into the future with steady steps.
We are a constitutional monarchy. I don't order laws, I propose them. Article 35 of our constitution states that the king can only refuse a law of parliament once, then he has to sign it - if the same law is then supported by a two-thirds majority in both houses of parliament.
I care about Bahrain. Bahrain is very dear to me. I will not allow people to play around with our laws.
There is no ethnic cleansing in Bahrain, no mass genocide, no policy of killing innocent people.
By being friends with all, we are not alone.
History shows that no enemy remains hostile forever, nor do friends remain friendly forever. For that reason, we intend to have normal relations with all.
