The Daily Mail accounts that for beating and strangling his servant to death, Saudi Royal prince Saud Abdulaziz bin Nasser al Saud faces life in a British jail or execution if he is extradited to his home in Saudi Arabia. U.K. court has convicted the Saudi prince, 34, of murdering 32-year-old male servant Bandar Abdulaziz in their suite at London’s Landmark Hotel. Booze and masochistic sex were reportedly involved in the tragic event. Witnesses attested to the Saudi prince’s abusive treatment of his slave, when video and physical evidence attested to the apparent sexual gratification the Saudi price derived from humiliating Bandar Abdulaziz. Yet hotel security cameras indicated that Bandar Abdulaziz didn’t resist, even during his final beating.
Diplomatic immunity was not enough for Saudi royal prince
Saudi Prince Saud Abdulaziz bin Nasser al Saud believed that diplomatic immunity and his status as grandson of Saudi Arabia’s king would save him from British justice, but the playboy was mistaken. He did end up admitting to murder. His defense was trying to argue manslaughter before that happened. The court at Old Bailey sentenced the Saudi prince to life in prison for murder, but he encounters execution in Saudi Arabia, where homosexuality is a capital offense. Saud Abdulaziz bin Nasser al Saud has been through photos and physical evidence to have “beyond a shadow of a doubt” subjected Bandar Abdulaziz to “sadistic” sexual torture. This is what Jonathan Laidlaw, the prosecutor, said.
Does the Quran have something to say about the Saudi prince’s actions?
The Saudi royal prince acted with Sharia law based on some. When servants misbehaved, the Prophet Mohammad abused servants according to some. Muslim Access explains that there is no physical abuse advocated with the Quran:
“As to those women on whose part you fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance)” – An-Nisa’: 34-35
dharban ghayra mubarrih is what beating had been translated from. It means using a siwak, or toothbrush, to give “a light tap that leaves no mark”. Guilty Saudi prince should have maybe figured out what was an appropriate way to treat servants that misbehaved. The royal family will not be able to help him out no matter what. He is going to be on the chopping block still either way.
