Bahrain ordered a top U.S. diplomat to leave the country on Monday, the Foreign Ministry said, after he met with a leading Shiite opposition group.

The ministry said in a statement that U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor Tom Malinowski is not welcome in Bahrain. It said he intervened in the country's domestic affairs by holding meetings with some groups at the expense of others.

The statement said that such meetings "segregate" the people of the nation. His actions, added the statement, "run counter to conventional diplomatic norms."

Bahrain is home to the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet.

Seems the guy’s focus is on LTGB. Most of the world don’t want that crap crammed down its throat.

I’d like to see even more countries booting out US State Dept. officials! Hillary and Kerry have loaded many embassies and consuls with gays and lesbians, to push the whole LGBT agenda.
