Bahrain Grand Prix held amid protests

Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel won the Grand Prix in Bahrain on Sunday while rage boiled beyond the track among protesters who say the ruling family that crushed Arab Spring demonstrations last year should not have hosted the race.

High security kept trouble well away from the track, where Red Bull's Vettel had started in pole position in a race that passed without incident. But demonstrators said the nightly violence over the past week showed the authorities' determination to go ahead with the race this year was a mistake.

We spoke to the Apostolic Nuncio to Bahrain, about the role Christians can play in promoting mutual respect between all peoples in the Gulf region: “We (Christians) truly feel that we are apostles in this region and that by our very lives that we can provide a good example of life lived according to the teachings of our faith and that we can be an example not only to each other but to all peoples, those belonging to other religions as well.” The Grand Prix is scheduled to go ahead on Sunday.
