On Wednesday, French President Emmanuel Macron said in a press release that his country would not abandon the offensive of the “cartoons” of the Prophet Muhammad (belonging to the French magazine Charlie Hebdo), which were published on the facades of buildings in several French cities, including Toulouse and Montpellier (south).
During the last days, pressure and raids increased, targeting Islamic civil society organizations in France, in the context of the murder of a history teacher named Samuel Bate (47 years old) who showed these photographs to his students, in a Paris suburb.
Macron described Patti’s murder as undermining freedom of expression and an “Islamic terrorist attack.”
His speech was widely rejected in Islamic countries and his statements were described as incitement to hatred. And a campaign was launched to boycott French products in the Arab world.
Macron announced earlier this month that France must confront what he called “Islamic isolationism,” claiming it seeks to “establish a parallel system” and “deny the republic.”
And French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanan previously claimed, on Sunday, September 27, that his country is waging a war against what he called “Islamic terrorism,” in his remarks during a visit to a synagogue near the capital, Paris. .

A series of attacks in France since January 2015 have killed 258 people, and the level of terrorist threat remains “very high” five years later, according to a statement from the French Interior.
The sheikh of Al-Azhar had responded two weeks ago to the statements of French President Emmanuel Macron, calling them “irresponsible”.
Macron had delivered a speech in which he declared that France must confront what he called “Islamic isolationism”, claiming that it seeks to “establish a parallel system” and “deny the republic”, considering that Islam “is a religion that is currently experiencing a crisis. all over the world”.
Al-Tayyib said in a tweet he posted in Arabic, English and French: “As we seek with the wise men of the West to promote the values of citizenship and coexistence, irresponsible statements are issued that take the attack on Islam as a cover for profit. weak policies. This uncivilized behavior against religions establishes a culture of hatred and racism and generates terrorism. ” “.
As we seek with the sages of the West to promote the values of citizenship and coexistence, irresponsible statements arise that attack Islam for unnecessary political gain.
