Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Mr Mansoor Al-Jamri
Sir: Michael Sheridan (" 'Zionist' TV jibe intensifies Gulf dispute", 30 January) describes me and a friend of mine as "radical Islamic opponents". This stereotyped description is unfair and unnecessary. Perhaps, Mr Sheridan intended to add a hyperbolic flavour by employing a catch phrase extracted for the title of an interview with Qatari TV.
The Bahraini pro-democracy opposition has been calling for the restoration of the dissolved parliament, and this opposition is a broadly based one, comprising Islamists (both Sunni and Shia), liberals, men and women.
Yours faithfully,
Mansoor Al-Jamri
