This is a well funded campaign to smear Sheihk Saud. I just removed this addition:
Kuwaiti news sources reported recently that
“…the Iranians have real foothold in the UAE, particularly in Ras al-Khaimah. Iran has cultivated close business relations with Crown Prince Saud bin Saqr al-Qasimi and his close associate, Lebanese Shiite businessman, Massad Khater. According to these sources, this is not merely an innocent business relationship. Khater is a partner in a ceramics factory called Ras al-Khaimah Ceramics. This factory, the sources claim, directly aids Iran's weapons and missiles industry. The factory even has a branch in the Iranian city of Natanz, where parts for Iranian warheads are produced.”
This is not even a remotely reliable source. For those who do not know what is going on here, Saud's brother Khaild bin Saqr al Qasimi was removed from power in 2003. He is funding an online battle to smear his replacement. Getting desperate bc his father is not well and he wants to return to power. The best way to do that was to try to link RAK to Iran. Nothing but half truths and innuendo. Well funded innuendo. I request a clean up and a neutral edit for tone.

There are several issues with your argumentation: First - there is the BLP guidelines: Biographies of living persons (BLPs) must be written conservatively and with regard for the subject's privacy. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid: it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives, and the possibility of harm to living subjects must always be considered when exercising editorial judgment. This policy applies to BLPs, including any living person mentioned in a BLP even if not the subject of the article, and to material about living persons on other pages.[3] The burden of evidence for any edit on Wikipedia rests with the person who adds or restores material.
Further to this, the incidents you cite above, Roethlisburger and Kennedy are different from this unsubstantiated allegation (no charges were pressed and the case was dropped). Roethlisburger was sanctioned by the NFL and the Steelers for his actions. Therefore, perhaps the events were relevant to his career, team, etc. As for the Ted Kennedy incident, Ted is no longer with us and therefore no longer under the BLP rubrik. Moreover, someone died and the event made national headlines. It was a primary reason Teddy did not run for president until the eighties. Therefore, it was a key point in the trajectory of his career and biography.
As is the case here, we have an allegation which was dropped. It is also telling that here you refer to it as a sexual assault, but you more titillatingly lable the section as "arrest for rape." One cannot be "arrested" for rape, only charged. He was never charged.
Finally, this subject has been dealt with on the BLP notice board on two occasions. The community has deemed it to be in violation of BLP Guidelines. Lucastar78 ( talk) 23:06, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
