The building of the largest Roman Catholic church in the Gulf was supposed to be a chance for the tiny island kingdom of Bahrain to showcase its traditions of religious tolerance. Instead, the planned church has turned into another point of tension in a country already being pulled apart by internal sectarian battles. (AP Photo/Hasan Jamali)
