Ministry of Foreign Relations of the Republic Indonesia (Kemenlu) stated that he condemned the statement made by the President French, Emmanuel macron, which is seen as cornering Islam and allowing the reissue of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, by the satire magazine Charlie Hebdo.
The Foreign Ministry also summoned the French ambassador to Jakarta, Olivier Chambard, to convey this criticism.

Macron sparked debate after making a statement on Friday (10/23), last week. He said that “Islam is a religion that is experiencing a world crisis.”
However, Macron claimed that he still upheld the secular principles applied by France.
Macron said his government would continue and respect all differences in peace. He stated that he would not tolerate hate speech and would maintain a culture of debate to defend opinions.
“Our history shows the fight against tyranny and fanaticism. We will continue. We will continue, we will continue to defend human dignity and universal values,” Macron said.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan responded to Macron’s statement. He said Macron had to have his mental health checked as a result of making the statement.
“What is the problem with the individual Macron calls Islam and with Muslims? Erdogan said,” Macron needs mental medicine. “
Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan accused Macron of “attacking Islam” as a result of the statement.
“This is a time when President Macron can bring a healing touch and deny space to extremists rather than create further polarization and marginalization that inevitably leads to radicalization,” Khan tweeted.
“It is regrettable that he chose to promote Islamophobia by attacking Islam rather than violent terrorists, be they Muslims, white supremacists or Nazi ideology,” he added.
