you addressed to that officer. In one of the letters which
whs written "by Abdullah bin ^ashid bin 3alih al Hashmi Kasi
and Sheikh ^amed bin Said al Paleti you make many complaints
and I would wish to discus^ some of these with you.
You raise the q^ue^tion of the manumission of slave?!
and complain that we have no right to do this but by your own
Shara a man who i^ born a Mohamadan c nnot be held as a slave
and every man can free a slave ^o found,

As to ^l^ves brought from other countries that is t
against our law a.nd the la"" 1 of the Goa- tries from which such
men were bein^ brought and yo" sorely would not think we should [
follow your la.w out of your country in opposition to the law
of tho^e countries.
All civilised countries of the world including [
the mahoraadan countries of Turkey and Persia have forbidden
slavery, ^ould you enforce an unlawful rule upon others. This
is impossible.
With regard to the rifles and ammunition. This
also is the system of all civilised countries of the world
dffcom
that only the ITizam or those having a license. the
Government of the country shoul<V possess rifles and do you
want Mahomadans to slay each other in defiance of the law, if
not then you should order that rifles be taken away from all
men so that disputes may be finished by law and not by the
recourse to ams., for this is against the Mahomadan law
as well as all laws.
And the British Government ia a friend of the
Mahomadans a.nd especially the Arabs and is assisting the Arab
Mahomadan*
