It is incomprehensible why any Western "leader" would bow to a Saudi. Merkel has already been conquered by islam so maybe that explains it.
Saudi Arabia funds global terrorism, tortures and executes homosexuals, treats females like they are livestock, and persecutes and outlaws any form of religion other than Islam. And yet, Leftist wackos like Merkel and Obama fall all over themselves to 'bow' to them. Strange?
But it does highlight the Leftist mindset. While they can't wait to kowtow to foreign leaders, at the same time they denigrate and revile their own country and people. This is obviously a malignant and terminal form of self-hate.
