ALBAWABA - Two issues maybe trending at present on social: Jewish Rabbi Elie Abadi gives a lecture on tolerance and humanity in the Abu Dhabi Great Mosque and the fact that leading Jordanian preacher Dr Muhammad Noah Al-Qudah is one of the most prominent of attendees.

That maybe so and the Islamic preacher doesn't deny that he attended the seminar given by the Chief Rabbi of the Emirates Jewish Council but that was more than two months ago, and not today as as the comments imply and castigate on the social media:

And nevertheless, Dr Al Qudah, who is a former minister, has issued a statement clarifying his attendance and the reason why he was there in Abu Dhabi with him saying I've done that already but I will do it again for the people who are stirring again.
