Donald Trump was thrown an unlikely 70th birthday party in Delhi on Tuesday by a small group of radical Hindu nationalists who are apparently enamoured of his anti-Muslim rhetoric.
Members of the public and media had been invited to come “celebrate the birthday of the saviour of humanity” by the Hindu Sena, a fringe far-Right political group which is known for its headline-grabbing antics.
Around 20 members of the group cut an oversized three-tiered birthday cake bearing the words “Happy Birthday Donald Trump” at the celebration held in a Delhi park.
“We are celebrating his special day, despite the recent tragedy in Orlando because, he is taking a stand against Islamic terror and that is very important to India, as we have been plagued from this kind of terrorism,” Vishnu Gupta, the group’s president, told the ANI news agency.

I was dumbfounded from about ten seconds in. I stared at my screen with this idiot grin, neither understanding nor caring that I did not understand, and then I left my body and transformed into an astral being of pure joy.Report
Me too. I think I even saw all the cats Kimmie talks to there.Report
Cat cafes are passe. The latest fad in Japan is raptor cafes. Attracts a different crowd, that.Report
Radical Hindu Nationalists are an embarrassment. Seriously, they should re-read the Gita especially the part about there being multiple ways to God.Report

It’s a verb. I imagine it’s a regular verb.
The important thing is that we all learn that there are a lot of different ways to God.Report
