Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – French President Emmanuel Macron issued another statement regarding his comments on Islam. This time on Twitter, he wrote his defense in Arabic.
This was posted on Sunday (1/11/2020) via Twitter. He reiterated that he supports the ability to think, write and draw in his country because it is a right and a freedom.
“They tell me that I ‘support cartoons that insult the Prophet’. I support the ability to write, think and draw freely in my country, it is our right and freedom. I realize that this can be surprising,” he said in the account @EmmanuelMacron. .
He evaluated the many lies that came out about France and what he said. That said was unacceptable.
“I see a lot of lies, and I want to explain the following: what we are doing now in France is fighting terrorism that is carried out in the name of Islam, not Islam itself,” he said.
“This terrorism has claimed the lives of more than 300 of our citizens.”
“Extremists teach that France should not be respected. Perpetrators teach that women are not equal to men and that little girls should not have the same rights as boys.”
“I tell you very clearly: (It) cannot (do) in our country.”
Previously, Macron had sparked 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.
To complicate matters further, the cartoon Charlie Hebdo calls the Prophet Muhammad reappears. A teacher in France was beheaded for showing a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad in a class he leads, while speaking about freedom.
Macron commented on this again. He said the teacher was “killed because the Islamists wanted our future.”
This led to several leaders of Arab and Muslim-majority countries criticizing Macron. Boycotts of French products also occurred in Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait and Turkey.
The latest is a man identified by a 21-year-old Tunisian migrant who attacked the Notre Dame Basilica church in France. Killed three people.
This led France to declare a state of emergency. Residents are asked to avoid the city center. Military patrols were also added.
