President Erdoğan criticised French President Macron for his “disrespectful” comments about Islam. Macron said earlier that “Islam as a religion in crisis all over the world” and France respects French “values and freedom of speech.”
On Tuesday Erdogan said “Who are you (Macron) to propose a restructuring of Islam?” Have we (Muslims) ever said Christianity, Judaism should be restructured?
Erdogan said. Erdogan said “We expect him (Macron) to act like a responsible statesman rather than a colonialist governor.”
Scholars at Egypt’s prestigious Sunni Islamic institution, Al-Azhar, have denounced remarks by French President Emmanuel Macron on “Islamist separatism” as “racist” and spreading “hate speech”. Grand Imam said to Macron “mind your own business”.
Erdogan is right in asking Macron to shed his colonial “thief, looter and corrupt” government mentality of French rule in Africa like Algeria, Tunisia, Benin, Senegal, Mali and other countries.
The famous Louvre Museum in Paris has 70% Islamic artefacts stolen from Muslim French colonies. Recently, African countries like Benin and Senegal are asking for return of their 90,000 artefacts looted by France during the colonial era in 19th and 20th century. Macron only agreed to return 27 pieces last year.
#This is frustration of Macron due to his failure in:
1. African 5G Sahel countries (Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Chad) where Macron visited during Covid. Yesterday Mali’s new President mediated and agreed with Mali rebels to release two French hostages Ms Petronin and S.Cisse in exchange of 100 Mali rebels fighting against French soldiers in Mali.
2. After Lebanon blast, France was the first country who rushed to visit the Beirut twice and his key plan was to elect a puppet government supporting France, which the Lebanese parties refused. Now, Turkey and Bangladesh are constructing the burnt port.
3. During the Turkey- Greece confrontation in Mediterranean Sea, France sided with Greece and tried to manage NATO-EU to impose economic sanction against Turkey but France was humiliated by Turkey and the crisis diffused.
4.France is also supporting Armenia in ongoing conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia while Russia is silent and US is absent in this conflict.
Since 2017 Macron has been trying to revive its colonial tactics to become a leader but has surprisingly failed in all his attempts and the only reason was President Erdogan. And finally frustrated “Brain dead” Macron started blaming Islam instead of NATO.
