是的，就是他，但是最近他接受采访说那件案子是商业行为，不是mj个人的问题
全文：
Rock the Kasbah
Then of course, there was Michael Jackson – clearly a pop musical genius, but surely a shaky start for Sheikh Abdullah’s plan to change the world, quietly, through music, and a quixotic choice of guest for someone aiming to promote understanding between Islam and the West. For two years ago, Abdullah became the mystery man who granted a bolthole to Michael Jackson, following the pop icon’s trial for child molestation (Jackson was acquitted). Sheikh Abdullah welcomed Jackson for a reportedly all-expenses-paid year, shielding him from the tabloid reporters who stalked his every move – until, that is, he found palatial refuge in a magic kingdom thanks to his deep-pocketed patron and pal. After the sheikh reportedly flew the moonwalker and his family to stay with him, the pair collaborated for a year together on a Hurricane Katrina charity single I Have a Dream and 2 Seas announced an exclusive record deal (the single was never released). Meanwhile Sheikh Abdullah kept frustrated reporters at bay while ***** reportedly skipped around town in a black robe, or abaya, and a scarf covering his face, an outfit traditionally worn by conservative Arabic women. In a Muslim monarchy, it’s hard to know what anybody here really thinks of Sheikh Abdullah and his Western friends, but Michael Jackson stirred some controversy in Bahrain and even in Dubai (where he entered the ladies room in a shopping mall and applied make-up). “He should keep his concerts and his effeminate manners away from us,” said Bahraini conservative cleric Adel al-Maawda. “We don’t want him turning Bahrain into Las Vegas.” Or as one ordinary Bahraini, Hani Bucheery, a security company manager, put it: “I’m not against him being in Bahrain – but against him using Bahrain to run away from his problems.”
Jackson eventually became enough of a royal pain to prompt Sheikh Abdullah to sue him in the High Court in London, alleging that Jackson moonwalked right out the door to Japan and Ireland, breaching their contract, a case that is still ongoing. “All I will say is that Michael is a dear friend,” says Sheikh Abdullah. “It is a business problem. It is not personal. But let me tell you: Michael is not at all weird or bizarre. He is one of the most down-to-earth, sweetest guys I’ve ever met.”

巴林王子谈杰克逊
在2005年的世纪大审判之后，Michael Jackson胜诉，却身心俱疲，于是他接到中东的巴林王国的王子的邀请，去那里居住了一年。Jackson在接受皇室的款待的同时，也在和王子谋划做一些音乐上的项目，可惜，却最终分道扬镳。
巴林王子Sheikh Abdullah本想通过和Michael Jackson联手，通过音乐改变世界，促进西方和伊斯兰世界的对话。两人曾经花了一年的时间，合作慈善歌曲《I Have This Dream》，以赈济美国卡特里娜飓风灾民。两人还计划合资成立一家名叫“双海”的唱片公司，并通过它发行Jackson的首张专辑。但是Jackson最终一走了之。
现在，巴林王子正在伦敦起诉Jackson违约，并索赔700万美元。不过，他却依然表示：“我所有能说的就是，Michael是我的一个亲爱的朋友，”Sheikh Abdullah对《泰晤士报》的记者说道，“这只是商业上的问题。不是我们个人之间的问题。但让我告诉你：Michael完全不古怪不怪异。他是我遇见过的，最真实，最可爱的人之一。”
