Egyptian actor and singer Mohamed Ramadan topped searches on Google for less than stellar reasons, drawing controversy after a photo with him and an Israeli artist in Dubai went viral. The star was harshly criticized on social media after Emirati twitter user Hamd al-Mazraei shared Ramadan’s photo with the caption “The most famous artist in Egypt with the most famous artist in Israel. Dubai brings us together.”Ramadan replied to the controversy in a now deleted Instagram voice message. I never ask about his color, religion, or nationality. Allah said ‘To you be your religion, and to me my religion.’ ”Shortly after, Ramadan posted a video of him and a Palestinian fan who he said supported his decision to take a photo with the Israeli artist.
