Today newspaper said: France Be warned Its citizens living or traveling in various Muslim-majority countries must take additional security precautions due to growing anger over cartoons of the prophet Muhammad displayed in a French school.
French officials asserted their right to display the cartoons in an act that defies Muslim sentiments, after an 18-year-old extremist student of Chechen origin cut off the head of a high school teacher to show his students images as part of a civics lesson.
Muslims viewed the cartoons as blasphemy, and in several Muslim countries, there were verbal attacks against French leaders, accusing them of being anti-Islamic and calling for a boycott of French products.

Furthermore, the French embassy in Turkey issued similar advice to its citizens there.

The warnings said that French citizens should steer clear of any protests over fees and avoid public gatherings.
