Lacking substantial oil reserves of its own, Bahrain built prosperity on the banking, petroleum processing, shipping, telecommunications, and tourism industries. Today it is a moderately wealthy Persian Gulf state. Although it is a member of the Islamic Caliphate, the majority of its population is Shi’a Muslim, which causes considerable internal tension. While the Amir remains a staunch supporter of the Caliphate, popular protests against it are common. Nearby Iran occasionally stirs the pot by planting covert agents or placing diplomatic pressure on the Amir.
