	Asalah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Asalah's leader is Ghanim Al Buaneen who took over in 2005 from Sheikh Adel Mouwda, who was sacked because he was perceived to be too close to Shia Islamists, Al Wefaq.
		Adel Al Mouwda's approach to the preservation of Bahrain's historic sites differs markedly with that of his successor, Ghanim Al Buaneen, who in March 2006 criticised the government for not doing enough to protect the dilapidated, but historic centre of Muharraq and demanding more government money for restoration work[1].
		The less ideological approach of Mr Al Buaneen towards the preservation of the Kingdom's history is a reflection of a more conciliatory attitude on his part towards modernity in general.
