The Islamic Movement of Bangladesh has announced a program to surround the French embassy in Dhaka in protest at the publication of cartoons of the Prophet (peace be upon him) in a multi-story building in France.
The program will take place on Tuesday (October 26) under the leadership of Amir Charmonai Pir Mufti Syed Muhammad Rezaul Karim.
According to a press release sent by Ahmad Abdul Qayyum, Publicity Secretary of the Bangladesh Islamic Movement, a meeting will be held at the North Gate of Baitul Mukarram in the capital at 10am on the same day. Amir Mufti Syed Muhammad Rezaul Karim of the party will lead the mass procession to the embassy.
On October 18, a school teacher was strangled to death in a suburb of Paris, France.
Reuters quoted police as saying the attacker was 18 years old. He is of Chechen descent and was born in Moscow, Russia. The murdered teacher was teaching political science.
In the ‘Freedom of Speech’ class, he showed students cartoons of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Then he was assassinated.
Following the incident, French police raided at least 50 mosques and Muslim-majority areas of the country.
Five and a half years ago, following the publication of the controversial Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) cartoon, there was a terrorist attack on the French satirical magazine Shirley Abdo. The magazine has reprinted it.
Despite the storm of criticism, French President Emmanuel Macron has been adamant in favor.
The president said he would not condemn the printing of controversial cartoons by Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH). At the same time, he announced strict actions against the separatists and those involved in these attacks.
There has been a backlash in the Muslim world for failing to take action to stop the Muhammad (peace be upon him) cartoons and for taking a stand in favor of Shirley Abdo. Muslim countries are erupting in anger.
