Azerbaijan to become the first Shi’ite Muslim country to have an embassy in Israel.
Azerbaijan is set to become the first Shi’ite Muslim-majority state to open an embassy in Israel, following parliamentary approval on Friday. Outgoing Prime Minister Yair Lapid praised the decision, calling Azerbaijan “an important partner of Israel and home to one of the largest Jewish communities in the Muslim world. This move is the fruit of efforts by the Israeli government to build strong diplomatic bridges with the Muslim world.”

Azerbaijan a very interesting country, I found info on utube, Christians Jews and Muslims live according to them (…) peacefully together, the government is a soviet strongman Muslim, who has built synagogues there and supports the Jewish community. However they annoy me because they seem to vote with Iranian mullahs in the UN when it comes to Israel! They have a ton of oil and apparently the offspring of the ruling class are obnoxious, but where are they not? Plus, they call out the Armenians for joining the Nazis in WW2 and murdering many Azerbaijanis. In fact it’s an ongoing conflict.
I’ve said this before, and I’m going to say it again.
The Muslim world is NOT a monolith.
We might have some stuff written in our holy books which you would find disagreeable.
But that doesn’t mean we’re lining up to bring Shariah law to your country.
First and foremost, we’re Muslims solely because we were born into this. It’s OUR CULTURE.
Just like you can’t tell Brits “stop forming a queue” or the French ‘Don’t mock God with your satire” (because it’s an important part of their cultures), you can’t tell a Muslim they can’t wear a hijab.

Ghulam, you are the perfect example of how Muslims aren’t a monolith. We could use more like you. 😘
What she said.
I’m a bit lost on this subject but…. Could this have anything to do with Pres. Trumps Abraham Accord?
It all sounds good to me.
Very possible.
Possibly uniting against Iran also.
Yes, I agree.
Or maybe they’re upset the Azerbaijani military hasn’t killed enough Armenian Christians lately.
