On Sunday, Imran Khan said that Macron was “attacking Islam” by encouraging the exhibition of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Macron has spoken out strongly against upholding the country’s secular values as opposed to radical Islam, following a national outcry over the murder of a history teacher in France for showing a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in class.
“France will not stop showing cartoons,” he said. In response to Macron’s position, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has already said that he “needs psychiatric treatment.”
And now Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan has criticized the French President on Twitter, saying: “By encouraging the display of disparaging cartoons against Islam and our Prophet, President Macron has deliberately chosen to provoke Muslims and even his own. citizens; This is sad. “
Muslims view the caricature of the Prophet as an insult. On October 17, French history teacher Samuel Patti was killed by a young man of Chechen descent outside the school after showing the cartoon in class.
Macron called the teacher a “hero” and described the Islamists as a threat to the country.
Imran Khan said: “Macron could have turned a blind eye to crime saying that extremists should not be saved.”
“But he is a terrorist who creates violence, whether he is a Muslim, a white supremacist or a Nazi ideologue, he has chosen to incite Islamophobia by attacking Islam instead of attacking them.”
“By attacking Islam without understanding it, President Macron has hurt the feelings of millions of Muslims in Europe and around the world.”
It should be noted that there have been several militant attacks in France in recent years.
Two extremist Muslim brothers shot and killed 12 people in Shirley Ebdu’s office in Paris on January 8, 2015 for the publication of a controversial cartoon. Twelve people, including a prominent French cartoonist, died.
In November of that year, 130 people were killed in a shooting at a theater in and around Paris, France.
