Qatari charged with murdering American lover
From the Sidney Morning Herald:
http://www.smh.com.au/wa-news/man-accused-of-killing-gay-lover-to-stand-...
A man accused of murdering his lover in Subiaco last year will stand trial in November.
Mohammed Ahmed Almansouri, 38 of Qatar, appeared via videolink in Perth Supreme Court today, charged with the murder of US citizen, Ken Horack, last August.
The Texan died after being stabbed 14 times in the neck and chest in a Barker Road home.
It is believed Mr Horack was involved in a love triangle, sharing the home in which he died with his long-term partner whilst also romantically involved with Mr Almansouri.
Mr Almansouri, who was helped by an Arabic interpreter, is in custody at Hakea Prison awaiting trial.
The trial, which is expected to last three weeks, has been listed for November 5.
This is a worrying story and will no doubt receive a great deal of world press coverage--especially given Qatar's controversial stance on homosexuality and the World Cup.
Why would they? It's disgusting
MannaPro how sure can u say tat 'gay guyz ever kiss each other on the mouth" are you ? ........
Lets stop calling him "his America Lover" ok?..Its embarassing. Lovers kiss on the mouth and I don't think any gay guys ever kiss eachother on the mouth..Gross!
Living la vida loca!
Thank you Both of you,hhh really I need slaps in my face cuz things mixed in my head also surroundin ppl says, some who is against and some who is for.and I needed to ask expereinced persons who can advice me. Thank you so much Mandilulur & Manna Pro it's really appreciated.
You're a big boy now, you can do things for yourself can't you? You don't need some company to hold your hand do you? Come to the new frontier and finally find out what youre really made of- don't tell me you really wanna be a big fish in a small pond? America is a vast ocean while Qatar is the Rainbow Roundup at Shaffer's Crossing
Man up-
Yeah, wake up Rachid!
YES!!! How can you even compare? It's freedom as opposed to slavery. It's being able to determine your own life and give your children a home and a future. And you are considering a lousy paying job with no future? Wake up, you won the grand prize on the lottery of life!
thx Mandilulur,so starting a new challenge & a new life in USA from 0(cuz I've to look for work,housing...etc then studing) so much better to sign an arranged contract (including housin) for QR.A staff ground position.
No touching! My father taught me that when I was like 10..Look but don't touch. When I'd walk with my wife or girlfriend and some goddess was walking towards us I'd always do everything in my power not to look at her. As the beautiful stranger got closer and closer the pressure would get to the point where it felt like my head was in a vice, and my ears would start ringing but I'd stay strong and look the other way until the coast was clear. It was very hard not to look but I did it out of respect for what ever woman I was with at the time..
Thats Rule #12- Don't look at other women, ever!
Bull, as long as they don't grab my derriere they are safe
I mean Taste of the Wild
No, rachid, I'm retired with an American airline. QR wouldn't pay me enough to feed my dog!

Ha ha ha-I feed ours Call of the Wild..Yeah it's $70 a bag but they're worth it..I guess
The men in the camps here would most probably call you God.

Ha ha ha..Sadly most of the world was built on cheap labor, even in America where unions are legal.
There's not much anybody can do for those poor bastards in the camps I guess....except maybe be a little more understanding when they ogle you.
No, rachid, I'm retired with an American airline. QR wouldn't pay me enough to feed my dog!
Mandi
The men in the camps here would most probably call you God.
They'd invite me to thier private box at all the games here and Chicago..Bears, Bulls, Cubs, Broncos, Rockies, Nuggets and promise me everything from money to a ghost job where not much was required of me..They just wanted me to go away- I rarely lost in hearings..The workers called me "The Legend"
Yep forget about it Rachid
Do NOT cross over to the dark side. I'm APFA, picketing the last few weeks

Oh MmmmGeee Mandi!

So be careful

Mandi

Forgive me, i'm a little slow sometimes
Bull, as I said in the other thread...you are as European as I am Italian...capisce? :P
"Bull, I was told by a gay man, not by my husband"
_____________________________________________
LOl, well thats what you get for calling me a "european" Nomercie..
MN - How is this slander when the OP is not the Author?
I think theal-Mansouri family should drag the OP's arse to court for slander!
Bull, I was told by a gay man, not by my husband.
My husband finds this theory as amusing as I do.
AND Bull...don't f..k with me.
"Wellllll...here is the thing...I was told (yes, I know some gay men), that unless you are the "giver" you are not considered gay...."
_______________________________________________
Nomercie...If you recieve, you're gay.. I'm sorry, but I think your husband is full of s*** on that one sweetheart.
...and that is why you should have a "no entry" sign tattooed on your backside :-P
Ahhhhhh, THAT'S's what happened!
Bachus, stop making sh%t up and spreading false info!
Mr. Almansouri is not a homosexual, the victim was. He was a US tourist who came to visit his "boyfriend" who he met online. Mr. Almansouri did not even know he was living with a homosexual. The victim was intoxicated and tried to "inappropriately" approach Mr. Almansouri, and the rest is history.
I would totally do the same.
Nomerci - edited :))
Qatar 1-0 USA

But wait a minute...Isn't Australia to the East of us or if you go all round the world you can actually consider it as West too.
That's what I'd heard too Non merci. Active is okay. Passive is, well, gay.
I dont believe this news at all. It's a hoax concocted by the West to make us look bad...I mean REAL bad ;)
Wellllll...here is the thing...I was told (yes, I know some gay men), that unless you are the "giver" you are not considered gay....here, that is.
"one up the bum and you won't be a mum" and it's not " An Old Arabic Saying" stop makin up stuff moza (:
There is an old Arabic saying that applies here,
'up the bum, no harm done'
Lol Snessy :P
snessy you made me crack with that bar of soap comment.
Why men can't drop soap at communal shower while he having a public bath full of sexually deprived and starved out prisoners? It’s a free world! People can do whatever they want! Drop the soap and get loved by a bubbaaaa...!! ^_*
No, he may not find love, but h'e'll probably keep a bar of soap in his pocket at all times so he can accidentally keep dropping it.
Am not too sure abt find love in jail..the translator is scott free..the qatari might find it diffcult expressing his feelings
He will sure find his second love in the jail. :P
If he ends up in prison, he'll probably enjoy his time there...
How about out here. I suppose they hold you guilty and lock you up and only later realize that you were completely innocent of any wrongdoing
Sorry but in Australia you are considered innocent until proven guilty. I know in this part of the world you are judged by the people's court before you even make it into a court room but innocent until proven guilty is the basis of Anglo-saxon and European law.
The local newspapers and news agencies seem to be more busy telling and reporting other peoples misdeeds while ignoring their own.
He is not innocent until proven guilty. He is a suspected murderer.
damesel..its not illegal to hold the hand of same sex or co-habit with the same sex versus the other way round!
Innocent 'unless' proven guilty. The two words sound the same but the difference is rather important :p
Oh please! gays in Qatar?! Give us a break.... Men holding hands? rainbow shirts? pinkies up while holding a glass of water? a slight shake of booties while walking? Come on! It's not gay-ish... isn't it? lol
Oh well, he's innocent until proven guilty... but let's just hope that the truth will prevail and justice be served.
Let's wait and see if we will read this news in the local paper... But IMO, I doubt it.
There are no gays in Qatar. They all leave to find people to murder in other countries.
crazysignal..valid point.. Atleast someone is paying attention to detail..:)
"Mr Almansouri, who was helped by an Arabic interpreter...." where was he helped..in court or to communicate with the lover :/ If its the latter then its bound to be misundertandings n no surprise of the end result :)
My misconception about Gays in Middle east has been cleared by this very news. Till now i thought that there was no gays in Qatar.
Gays in Qatar! No ways its all the Westerner's fault for coming here and spreading their sickness! Burn them all and give us Indians their salaries :)
Same with the Saudi that killed his gay lover/slave in London. Seems to be a lot of it about in the gulf....
Is all fair in Love war and jealousy!
I don't think the fact he is gay really has anything to do with it, he alleged to have murdered someone so he will stand trial.
It will not get reported here as only happy stories are allowed. If it was a gay Indian who was resident in Qatar then maybe you would read about it....
Remember the old song - "Caught between two lovers, treated like a fool ..." :0(
i agree with u,i know one case that a qatari gay did that to his BF,poor guy he wasnt given any justice... :(
Can you really call two men "lovers"? I don't even think gay guys call themselves "lovers"..Thats just way too gay
Hi Mandi- I'm home, got back a few hours ago
For life, I'd imagine :(
Mandi
I'm guessing jail time,then. Imagine...a Qatari in an Australian prison. Shocking and shameful!
No, Australia is too civilized to have the death penalty.
Mandi
quite identical to MN's when I got to the "Mr. Horack..." part. Up until then I was solemnly reading the news. Suddenly I was like "OH!!!!It's a man..The lover was a man!" Now this is real controversial news alright and unsurprising then that it was never reported here.
Wonder what kind of penalty the accused will be handed if found guilty of the crime:jail time? blood money? death?
Thats a disgusting story
Shameful.
DIRECT to GUAM! Now there's real news!
Mandi
how come MOD did n't remove this post yet?
mozaismyhero
being a hypocrite and blind to reality won't do you any good. Learn to respect what's in front of you. Stop being idealistic and start being a realistic and open minded. You can't change the fact that gays are EVERYWHERE and that includes the middle east. And you just have to live with that.
Or you can opt to eradicate each and every gay if that makes your world more secure.
mozaismmyhero--Gay Qataris murder their lovers 'all the time'??????
Censorship!
Mandi--I suspect the Gulf Times will pick up the story in tomorrow's edition--right between the PR announcement of the latest Qtel deal and a report on how Qatar Airways is now doing direct flights to Guam.
I wonder if he'll be expected to pay out blood money to the family in this case.
So ga Qatari murders his lover. Happens all the time, not really news and why are you making qatar look bad. Look, no gays here, or there.
sheesh!
Marco...he's wearing a rainbow shirt too!!!:P
Mr Horack? OMG HE'S A MAN!
Is there actual news in the local papers?
Goodness! Now why hasn't this been in the local papers?
Mandi
