France's Macron: I won't condemn cartoons of Prophet Mohammad {By Charlie Hebdo, 1 Sep 2020}

French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday it was not his place to pass judgment on the decision by satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo to re-publish cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad, saying France has freedom of expression. ..

The magazine re-published the cartoons on the eve of a trial in Paris of alleged accomplices in a 2015 attack on the magazine’s offices by Islamist militant gunmen in which 12 people were killed.

When they were first published by Charlie Hebdo and other publications, the cartoons unleashed a wave of anger in the Muslim world. For Muslims, any depiction of the Prophet is blasphemous.

He may be a lefty but he is a patriot. And I do believe Trump and him genuinely get along.

How come they didn’t include the cartoons?

to be fair he said “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. But to be credible, those who condemn that slander must also condemn the hate we see in the images of Jesus Christ that are desecrated, or churches that are destroyed, or the Holocaust that is denied,”

He didn’t practice the latter.

Wow. Maybe Macron is starting to grow a pair, though simply speaking the truth is hardly noteworthy. If everyone told the truth about Muslims, there aren’t enough of them to kill everyone else, and they would slink off to their holes in the earth to be closer to their allah.

Not a great fan of Macron but he has my respect for supporting the principles of the Republic.
