France has summoned its ambassador to Ankara for consultations following statements by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in which he said French President Emmanuel Macron should examine his mental health.
Today Saturday, the Turkish president denounced the policies of his French counterpart towards Muslims and said that he must “examine their mental health.
“What can be said about a head of state who treats millions of followers of different religions in this way? First of all: check your mental health,” Erdogan added in a televised speech.
Macron’s office said in a statement that “President Erdogan’s comments are unacceptable. Anger and insult are not a means,” and the office asked Erdogan to change the course of his policy because he is dangerous in all respects.
Last week, French police arrested 11 people in connection with the murder of the French teacher who “mocked” the Prophet Muhammad by re-showing his offensive drawings to students at a school west of Paris.
Macron delivered a speech after the incident, in which he said: “The incident has all the characteristics of an Islamic terrorist attack” and added that the victim “was killed because he taught his students freedom of expression.”
The incident coincided with a trial in Paris against those accused of the 2015 attack on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, after it published cartoons insulting to Muslims and the Prophet Muhammad.
Macron also opened a broad debate after a speech he gave on Islam in France earlier this month, in which he said that “radical Islam poses a danger to France because it enforces its own laws above all other laws and “often leads to the creation of a counter-society.”
He added: “Islam is a religion that is in crisis all over the world today, and we do not see this only in our country.”
After these statements, Erdogan attacked Macron, saying that “the French president’s speech on restructuring Islam is rude and lack of manners,” adding: “Macron’s statement that” Islam is in crisis “in a A city with a Muslim population is a direct provocation, as well as a lack of respect, according to him.
Erdogan accused Macron of attacking Islam to cover up the crisis in France and its failed policies, “as he put it.
“Those who avoid facing racism and Islamophobia do the most damage to their societies,” he added.
