Im not sure if he has a Mariam but Sheikha Sabeeka's daughter is Sheikha Najlah. Sheikha Sabeeka has 2 sons and one daughter.
Sheikh Hamad has a sister called Mariam.
No. Sheikh Feisal is Nasser's full brother.
There mother is from Bahrain but not from the ruiling family.
Sheikh Sabeeka's sons are Crown Prince Salman and Sheikh Mohammed who is kings representative in one of the areas in Bahrain I think.

Shkha Sabeecha has 3 sons and 1 daughter - Salman, Abdullah and Kalifa and Najila is the daughter
Shkh Faisal who died in the car accident was not the full brother of Shkh Nasser. He was the son from wife No 3 and Nasser and Khalid are from wife no 2 and are full brothers

From the Washington Post:
"Bahrain's king tried to restore calm by appointing his son, the crown prince, to lead a dialogue with anti-government demonstrators, most of them Shiite Muslims, who are demanding greater representation and other democratic reforms in a country where most power is wielded by the Sunni minority."

The government in Bahrain took the rather heavy-handed move of deciding to really crack down on public assemblies, and in fact, to demolish the famous Pearl Monument. It was a favorite place for visitors and picture taking, now completely gone, as this was the public square where protestors and concerned citizens were meeting.

In the end, destroying monuments is not a good way of quelling protests. Bahrain loses part of its own history, and people will surely not forget it used to be there.
