Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – France has warned its citizens in some Muslim-majority countries to be careful. This is a precautionary measure in the wake of mounting anger over the reissue of the Prophet’s cartoon and controversial comments by French President Emmanuel Macron.
In Bangladesh, for example, thousands of people demonstrated and stepped on posters of the French leader. Meanwhile, in Iran, local diplomats were summoned to protest the presentation of cartoons to the public.
Even several Arab countries have boycotted products such as Kuwait and Qatar. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also asked not to buy products from the country of the Eiffel Tower.
The French Foreign Ministry issued a ‘security advisory’ on Tuesday (10/27/2020). Residents of Turkey, Iraq, Bangladesh, Mauritania, including Indonesia are asked to be careful.

“It is recommended to take the greatest precautions, especially when traveling, and in places frequented by tourists or the expatriate community,” he said. the ad was cited Reuters, Wednesday (10/28/2020).
Earlier, a history and geography teacher at a Paris suburban school named Samuel Paty (47 years old) showed a cartoon of the Muslim model of Prophet Muhammad SAW in a class on October 6.
Ten days later, Paty suffered a bad incident. A Russian-born Chechen teenager killed him.
This caused a great uproar in the public. Unexpectedly, the lessons were aimed at culminating in a tragic incident and causing division and unrest in society.
The anger of Muslims surfaced after French President Emanuel Macron said he would not withdraw the cartoon. For Muslims, the portrait of the Prophet is taboo.
The cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad was seen as a form of insult and attack on Muslims. France, which has a secular wing, also received strong protests from many parties, especially the Muslim community and its leaders.
Still, Macron said he would not give up several protests.
Macron has stirred controversy since early September. At that time, he introduced a law for ‘Islamic separatism’ in France.
Macron once said that “Islam is a religion that is experiencing a world crisis.” Therefore, your government will introduce a bill in December to strengthen the 1905 law that officially separated church and state in France.
RI Government
Meanwhile, there has been no comment from the Indonesian Foreign Ministry on this matter. Yesterday, RI transmitted its position on the controversy that was generated by the current controversy.
“First, the Foreign Ministry has summoned the French ambassador today. Second, during the meeting, the Foreign Ministry condemned the French president’s statement that insulted Islam,” he was quoted as saying by detik.com.
This afternoon the French ambassador in RI, Olivier Chambard, was summoned. However, according to Faizasyah, Olivier has not responded to this.
