Den officielle dødsannonce

Sheikh Khalid bin Sultan Al Qasimi (39) blev tirsdag fundet død i sin luksuslejlighed i Knightsbridge. Nu kommer detaljerne frem om hvordan han døde: En kombination af sex og narkotika.

Sources said a quantity of Class A drugs had been found at the penthouse flat in Knightsbridge where his body was discovered but the police have yet to confirm or deny this.

Officers were said to have found the drugs after being called in by medics, according to The Sun.

A source told the same publication: ‘There had apparently been a party where some guests were taking drugs and having sex.

‘It is suspected that Sheikh Khalid may have died suddenly as a result of taking drugs. As well as the police inquiry, an urgent internal probe has been ordered and staff have been ordered to keep quiet.’

The source added that Qasimi enjoyed the freedoms that London offers but that his story ‘has ended tragically’.

The high-end apartment block where his body was found boasts a dozen homes that sell for up to £90 million.

Al Qasimi stod bag modemærket Qasimi Homme. Han havde råd til at realisere sine drømme og planer, og som modeskaber bliver man del af et jetset, hvor man har adgang til det meste.

Al Qasimi er søn af sheiken af Sharjah, en by i Emiraterne. Sønnen blev stedt til hvile i går og det er afstanden mellem det som tilsyneladende er deres livsstil og livet i London, som er megetsigende.

Hvad tænker disse mænd? Qasim er den anden søn af sheiken som dør af narkotika. Den ældste  døde af heroin i 1999.

His eldest son, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Sultan Al Qasimi, died of a heroin overdose aged 24 in 1999, the Independent reported at the time.

He was reportedly found on his bathroom floor at home in East Grinstead surrounded by syringes.

To sønner som døde af fristelser de ikke kunne kontrollere.

Tanken går også til prinsesse Haya af Dubai som er flygtet til Tyskland med børnene for at slippe væk fra manden, Muhammad bin Rashid al-Makhtoum. Mishandling af kvinder er en del af problematikken, som gør at mændene ryger af sporet i Vesten, særlig når penge ikke er noget problem.

Roden til det hele er det Ayaan Hirsi Ali tematiserer: Forholdet til kvinder, forhold til ære, til mandighed, penge og rusmidler. Mennesker fra den muslimske verden er ofte ikke i balance, hverken hjemme eller ude. Men det er selvsagt let at påstå at Vesten fordærver deres børn.

Det er en alt for enkel forklaring.
