Is there any source for the claim that Faisal bin Turki was a cannibal?
editThis claim seemed pretty extraordinary & I can't find any external references to it!
I've borrowed the book listed as a reference from the internet archive & had a look at page 197 - here's a direct transcription from the page:
"The Sultan of the day, the Gujerati-speaking Faisal, wearying of the tiresome British complaints about his trade in slaves and arms, turned to the French, who were more relaxed about such things. He agreed to let them establish a coaling-station at Bandar Jissah. This was too much for the British, one object of whose presence in Muscat has for long been to frustrate French designs on the region. The Sultan was forced to rescind his agreement with. the French on pain of having his Muscat palace blown to smithereens." 185.75.242.205 (talk) 23:37, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
