The president of the Muslim-majority Russian republic of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, said Tuesday that the French president is rooting for terrorists by justifying offensive cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad as protected by the right to freedom of expression.
The comments by Kadyrov, a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, came after France asked its citizens who live or travel to various Muslim-majority countries to take additional security precautions due to anger over the fees.
The conflict is due to a knife attack in front of a French school on October 16, during which a student (18 years old) of Chechen origin, a French history teacher named Samuel Bate (47 years old), was killed after Have Bate show his students satirical drawings of the Prophet Muhammad during a lesson on freedom of expression. .
The French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo was the first to publish the offending cartoons, after which its Paris headquarters was the target of an armed attack in 2015, in which 12 were shot dead.
Kadyrov played down the suggestion that the Bati forward was born in Chechnya and said he grew up in France, saying in an Instagram post Tuesday that Macron was wrong when he described displaying such cartoons as freedom of opinion.
Addressing Macron, he added: “You push people towards terrorism, you leave them no choice and you create the conditions for the growth of extremism in the heads of young people. You can boldly describe yourself as the leader and inspiration of terrorism in your country. “.
Macron praised Batey as a “true hero” and vowed to fight “Islamic isolationism” in France.
“No one will intimidate us and we warn those who sow the seeds of hatred, such as Kadyrov, and we tell them that this is unacceptable,” said an official in the French presidential administration.
