The leader of Turkey is calling on citizens to boycott French products after French President Emmanuel Macron defended a teacher who was murdered by an 18-year-old radical Islamist, vowing to crack down on radical elements in France.
"Never give credit to French-labelled goods, don't buy them," Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Monday during a speech in Ankara, according to the BBC and CNN.
"European leaders must say 'stop' to Macron and his campaign of hatred," he added.
His remarks come amid a deepening dispute between Turkey and France over the treatment of Muslims in France. French authorities argue they are taking necessary steps to crack down on radical Islamist groups following the murder of a teacher outside Paris after his decision to display cartoons portraying the Prophet Muhammad during a lecture about free speech.
Erdoğan reportedly argued Monday that Muslims in France and Europe are "subjected to a lynch campaign similar to that against Jews in Europe before World War 2."
CNN reported that similar boycott campaigns, which the French government condemned as "unjustified" in a Sunday statement, are underway in Kuwait and Jordan.
Macron wrote in a statement posted to Twitter on Sunday that France would continue to uphold the values of liberty and free expression.

They shouldn’t be in NATO.
At least the French President is showing everyone he has a pair of nards.
Turkey and Iran will be the new Muslim axis.
So where are the cartoons?
Turkey used to be a great US ally. No longer. It’s run by a dictator who’s thrown his lot in with the Russians and the Muslims.
No thanks! Boot them out of NATO and get back all the military hardware we can.
Er DOG an thinks cutting someone’s head off because they do not agree with your religion is a good thing.
I have been to Turkey and if the god of all gods chose to give this world an enema he would stick the hose in Turkey.
I learned all I need to know about islam on 9/11.
Islam is not compatible with the US constitution or our bill of rights.
Islam will never fit into the USA.
The next time you hear some wild eyed screaming crazy muslim threaten to kill you and other Americans,
UNDERSTAND IT IS THEIR FIRM AND DETERMINED PLAN
and not just an empty threat.
For the moment...
Putin can have Turkey. Liberate Constantinople!
From the muslim perspective the head chopper had the obligation to chop the infidels head off in keeping with Islam.
Insulting the prophet requires death.
Know Islam, No Peace
No Islam, Know Peace
LOL!

Erdogan should be removed by the Turks themselves, and the best way at hand to accomplish that will be to humiliate the Turkish force in Libya, strip them of their gear, and march them off to Haftar's POW camps. OTOH, the negotiations are going so well in Libya that Erdogan is already getting his pants pulled down. Sorry for the visual.
Whatever follows in Turkey is going to be worse. But, it's Turkey, so who cares?
