Featured After Erdoğan, Prime Minister Imran Khan condemns French President Macron over Islamophobia

[ASKardar]

Prime Minister Imran Khan slammed French President Emmanuel Macron over his anti-Muslim attitude on Sunday, criticising him for hurting the sentiments of millions of Muslims around the world.

The French president is being criticised with protests breaking out in several cities across the world after Macron accused Muslims of separatism and vowed not to give up cartoons depicting the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

His comments came in response to the beheading of a teacher, Samuel Paty, a 47-year-old teacher, who was attacked on his way home from the junior high school where he taught in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, 40 kilometres northwest of Paris.

In a series of tweets on Saturday, the prime minister, while presenting examples of the iconic leader Nelson Mandela, said that this is a time when President Macron could have put the healing touch and denied space to extremists rather than "creating further polarisation and marginalisation that inevitably leads to radicalisation".

"It is unfortunate that he has chosen to encourage Islamophobia by attacking Islam rather than the terrorists who carry out violence, be it Muslims, White Supremacists or Nazi ideologists. Sadly, President Macron has chosen to deliberately provoke Muslims, incl his own citizens, through encouraging the display of blasphemous cartoons targeting Islam and our Prophet (PBUH), the premier wrote on Twitter.

Condemning that by attacking Islam, Macron has hurt the sentiments of Muslims around the world, PM Imran said that the last thing the world wants or needs is further "polarisation".

"Public statements based on ignorance will create more hate, Islamophobia and space for extremists," he added.

It looks like it deliberate attempt by Macron to be more right winger then right wingers are to gain political mileage. Stuck in the hatred and stuck in their little brains towards Islam, that they can run all over Muslims. That's what happens when one talks to too many paid timed Arab leaders who won't give a toss about their religion. Islam have travelled far flung places and new refranchised Muslims kids will not follow their elders before them to keep their head downs and sadly they will take law of others will take in their own hands.

Imran Khan has the audacity to call out injustice, has been exposing Hindu fascism for 2 years now.

Islamic republics are teaching secularism to France. I mean is there no sense of irony in the world anymore?

Imran better look at his own country than worry about Islam at the world stage. His country is failing economically and politically. By playing the messiah of Islam, he is boxing himself as Muslim leader rather than a world leader. It'll be detrimental to Kashmir issue too.

And each country has its own way of handling social tensions according to their requirements. By meddling in their affairs, Imran once again shown the shallowness of his diplomacy. His attack on Macron is as diabolical as his attack on Modi as Nazi. Imran should be smart and practical with diplomacy. Instead of launching his verbal tirade against France on Twitter, he should have registered his disappointment with the French embassy in Pakistan.

Atleast Erdogan is playing to his constituency as France is seen as a rival in Turkey. How will this help Imran and Pakistan? Don't tell me that Islamic countries would see him as their leader because of this. They are more practical than him. West would see him as loose cannon.

Oh well, what is done is done, good luck to Pakistan with this leader.

Even Islamic Republics are not so shameful to insult or provoke holy deities or figures.
Westerners and their dogs may like to play politics over everything, we don't. This is not a matter of politics.

When ever we say say Hazrat Aisa Alaihissalam (Jesus Christ) name we say Most respected (Hazrat) in the begining and Alaihissalam (peace and welfare to him) at the last, to show respect. We consider him a Prophet and show respect.
All we Muslims ask is to show the same respect to Hazrat Muhammad (Peace be upon him).

That comedy show hurt our feelings as well. No one is allowed to do that in Muslim world.

Their country their rules.
France is a secular country with extreme freedom of expression.
And that's part of French culture which they cherish.

Does France insist why a Christian can't become PM of Pakistan?
Or why a 'blasphemer' faces death sentence in Pakistan?

Imran khan cribs about Islamophobic but will not condemn publicly when Pakistani man stabbed two persons in Paris.

To be fair, France does not have total free speech like America does, they have laws prohibiting Holocaust denial.

That being said, if Muslims in France were really smart, they would have done what Iran did in 2006 and hold a Holocaust cartoon conference, instead they start attacking and killing people which is a disproportionate response to a cartoon publication.

Stabbing of 2 men by a random Joe is an act of violence and extremism; on the other hand, speeches against Islam and Muslims by a Head of State are clear indications of Islamophobia and radicalism against 1 religion.

He stood up, defend our values, principles, faith and our prophet


He did good, he did right


Everything else is not a excuse for inaction
