It’s just a bloody cartoon ffs.
“ Calls to boycott French goods are growing in the Arab world and beyond, after President Emmanuel Macron criticised Islamists and vowed not to "give up cartoons" depicting the Prophet Mohammed.
Macron's comments, on Wednesday, came in response to the beheading of a teacher, Samuel Paty, outside his school in a suburb outside Paris earlier this month, after he had shown cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed during a class he was leading on free speech.”

“ Manchester United star Paul Pogba will reportedly quit playing for France after statements by French president Emmanuel Macron alleging that Islam was the source of international terrorism.
According to various Middle Eastern news sources, the World Cup-winning midfielder, who is a convert to Islam, 'resigned' after the comments made by Macron on Friday.
Pogba reportedly also resents the French government's decision to bestow the country's highest honour on the teacher who had shown images of the prophet Muhammad to schoolchildren in his class before being murdered in a terrorist attack. ”

Lots of religious texts contain bats
t crazy and violent verses - the Old Testament is probably the worst out the lot. However, the vast majority of religious folk (including Muslims) simply ignore the bad crazy stuff and pick and choose the reasonable bits from their scriptures. However, we can’t deny that a significant minority of Muslims (and a bigger proportion than Christians, Jews etc) take their religion far too literally hence extremism is a bigger problem within the Muslim community than it is within other faith groups.
Some of the results of this survey for example are deeply worrying.

To reiterate, of course it’s a minority that hold extreme views (and an even smaller minority that act violently based on these views) but nonetheless it’s still a minority that’s far too big.

“ One person has been killed and several others injured after a knife attack near a church in the southern French city of Nice, local media reported on Thursday.
French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said a police operation was under way in the city, while Nice Mayor Christian Estrosi said the suspect behind the attack - which Estrosi said looked like a terrorist incident - had been arrested.”

I am still somewhat surprised that despite China imprisoning hundreds of thousands of Muslims, there is little to no protesting against the Chinese state.
Yet a cartoon is drawn and anarchy breaks out. How the hell does this thought process play out? Utter madness.

To be fair I think he’s more of a spiritual leader in Pakistan as opposed to the spiritual leader. Pakistan doesn’t have a spiritual leader in the same way say Iran does.
A quick google suggests that a few years ago he wanted to bomb Holland so he’s got form.

Nevertheless, the actual leader of Pakistan has behaved strangely too - writes an open letter to the world whining about religious figures being mocked etc.

Yet when it comes to important human rights issues he feigns ignorance.

Retired UFC fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov has issued a verbal attack on President Emmanuel Macron following his comments surrounding the recent terror attacks in France, with a controversial Instagram post calling for “the Almighty to disfigure the face of this creature”.
article said:
He wrote: “May the Almighty disfigure the face of this creature and all its followers, who, under the slogan of freedom of speech, offend the feelings of more than one and a half billion Muslim believers. May the Almighty humiliate them in this life, and in the next. Allah is quick in calculation and you will see it.
“We are Muslims, we love our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) more than our mothers, fathers, children, wives and all other people close to our hearts. Believe me, these provocations will come back to them, the end is always for the God-fearing.”
Khabib added verse 33:57 from the Quran, which said: “Indeed, those who revile Allah and His Messenger, Allah cursed in this world and in the Hereafter and prepared for them humiliating torments.”

It’s fairly benign, not sure what you think would happen to a PHer if they clicked on it by accident? I won't link directly to it in case someone clicks by accident - or post up the cartoon just in case some blokes with AK47's want a quite word with me.
“ Europe must rethink its open-border Schengen area, including a more robust protection of the zone's external frontiers, President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday, after a spate of Islamist attacks in France and Austria.
The tighter controls were needed to curb clandestine immigration, said Macron, adding that the criminal gangs illegally trafficking migrants into Europe were often linked to terror networks.
"I am in favour of a deep overhaul of Schengen to re-think its organisation and to strengthen our common border security with a proper border force," Macron said during a visit to the Franco-Spanish border.”

“ A few years ago, in a Lords debate on the treatment of Christians in the Middle East, the late Rabbi Jonathan Sacks reminded his peers of some famous words of Martin Luther King: ‘In the end we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends.’
That reflection may now be going through the head of the French President, Emmanuel Macron. In recent weeks he has been left alone on one of the most dangerous and delicate ledges of our time: that of Islamic extremism. And while he has already incurred the wrath of much of the so-called Muslim world — with French goods disappearing from many Arab supermarkets and Macron condemned from Ankara to Islamabad — it is the silence of everyone else that has been so striking.”
