Bahrainis saw on the television what was going on in Tunisia and how the Tunisian people had successfully forced Zine Abidine ben Ali, the Tunisian "President" out of office. This inspired them to combat the injustices in their society, namely that the Sunni minority had legal rights and privileges that the Shiite majority did not. Shiite Bahrainis began to protest for an end to the discrimination, using facebook and twitter to coordinate where and when they were going to protest.
