How will other countries in the Ummah be able to participate ??
Israel is an attendee as well, poor souls will have to rub shoulders with the Jews as well.
Andh bhakts are strange fellows. They support Nazi ideology and Israel at the same time.
The first person to strike a deal with the Nazis was Stalin in 1939 during the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact.
Of course, even so, he was and is still a darling of the Islamo-left psuedo liberal.
Marquis de kalia aka OPindia fake news Hindu gutter rat,
Still trolling with the usual Hindu bullsh1t? Can’t expect any less from Hindu bhangi who posts under the name of a French homosexual. There is no “Islamo-left” you delusional monkey worshipping liar. It’s a history fact that RSS terrorists venerate Hitler and Mussolini, why distract and pretend otherwise? The israel fetish goo bhakts have in their hatred of Muslims is amusing considering israelis consider Hindus to be disgusting pagans….not that it changes the fact that israel is a terrorist state….doesn’t matter that fellow outcast UAE invited them.
You attempts at sarcasm fail considering the majority of stinky Hindus would abandon India to clean the toilets of the ummah.
Yeah, Macron is an idiot to call-out islamo-fascism.
As if you know better, all Islam teaches is hate, cruelty and violence.
That much is obvious from the tone and the words of you diatrabe here.
