Bahrain Mirror (Exlusive): Bahrain has proudly gained the title of “The Kingdom of Trolls”. A troll is a person, mostly a he, who purposely and deliberately spread hatred and discord on the Internet.
The trolls of Bahrain are not of your friendly type. They are known to be some of the most hostile, abusive and sectarian digital creatures when compared to their rivals in other Arab countries living the spring of Democracy!

Bahrain government has created this dark, soggy and moist condition for trolls to grow and mushroom. It should come as no surprise that such creatures are the creation of a joint effort between Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Information, both “surprisingly” headed by members of Bahrain royal family and both accused for spreading sectarianism.

Yes, their tweets can upset you, but their master plan goes beyond that. The trolls were “recruited” to further divide the community. The trolls have caused so much damage to the reputation of Bahrain.

 However, they somehow have helped the cause, allowing people around the world to see the ugly face of their creators. Around the world, ordinary people seeking the truth about what is happening in Bahrain have expressed the unpleasant encounters they had with the Bahraini trolls.

Internet researches from Web3Lab have been tracking the activities of such ugly creatures we call trolls. This is from a report they published on 17th of Feb 2011 “We also noticed that the vast army of Regime supporters who were flooding cyberspace with pro-governments Tweets had all but vanished from the #Bahrain hashtag. It was extremely disturbing to see. Real life people don't just turn themselves off in mass.”

So you know, in the online world, trolls do NOT rule!
