Thanks. I was too lazy to check for myself.
You are in fact correct. It's not a Muslim party, just the opposition trying to rile up the governing party.

You sure? I believe I remember there being a story about a halfling or a gnome drinking an enlarge potion or two to get hot and sweaty with some giantess.

It might have to do with grouping. Use less for one lump, use fewer for individual count.

Why would I care about context? Comment had a question, I had an answer. Problem solved.
Context is unimportant.

I was replying to a comment, not the title.

What a shitty title.

A more unbiased title would have been "Hindu nationalists and Muslim nationalists in India fight each other by renaming lions to offend the other side."

Thank you kindly. Sadly I cannot. Yesterday I was on a trip and happened to pass through one such location, which is why I can talk about it now.

The folk tale was that some Polish cartographers were mapping the area and asked some locals where they were. The locals shrugged and answered in their language a variant of "Fuck knows". The cartographers took it to heart and the official name of that location on their map became a slightly altered variation of that joking reply.
Naturally later on, a copy of that map was used by the government in charge for census and the name remained sealed in stone.

Who said anything about gendered nouns? The question was about greater complexity making things easier.
In my eyes, the German language achieves that.

Sisko, Bashir, Dax, Odo, Kira and Keiko O'Brien. Am I right or am I right?

It's a mouthful, but concise. (Telling as a non-german).
