The most peaceful place in the Arab world is ruled by a gay sultan . At least that’s the word on the street in Oman, where the childless and divorced sultan Qaboos bin Said bin Taimur Al Bu Saidi is a popular and successful ruler. The 68 year old monarch is the 14th Saidi Sultan of Oman, his family having been in charge continuously since 1749.

There is no terrorism in Oman. No al Qaeda, no religious violence. There are some Islamic conservatives, but even they do not dare threaten the popular monarch. This despite the fact that the Sultan has expressed an interest in working out a peace deal with Israel. Most other Arab rulers consider the Omani Sultan a bit odd, and don’t consider him an example worth emulating.
