Who are you to talk about Islam? Erdogan to the French President

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reacted angrily to French President Emmanuel Macron’s insulting comments about Islam. Erdogan called the French president’s comments a direct provocation.

Emmanuel Macron recently unveiled a new plan to defend France’s secular values ​​against “Islamic extremism.” “Islam is a religion that is in crisis in all countries of the world today,” he said, revealing a plan to protect secularism in France. This is not just what we see in our country. ‘

The French president’s statements sparked outrage among Muslims in the country. According to Erdogan, this is a direct provocation.

In a televised speech, Erdogan said: “In the crisis of Islam, Macron has not only disrespected religion, he has openly incited it. Macron has shown his boldness in saying this. Who are you to talk about the structure of Islam?

Advising the French president, Erdogan said: “Macron should know better before talking about anything he doesn’t know. We want him to act like a responsible president. Not like a colonial governor.

According to a report by Deutsche Welle, Macron’s plan is to control the flow of foreign money to mosques and monitor the education system.

Macron and Erdogan’s relationship is not so sweet. Amid the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict and the dispute between the two leaders over the Eastern Mediterranean, their stark differences over Islam also came to light.
