France recalls Turkey envoy after Erdogan says Macron needs 'mental check

France has recalled its ambassador to Turkey for consultations after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan insulted his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron.

He said Mr Macron needed a mental health check for pledging to defend secular values and fight radical Islam.

Mr Macron has spoken out forcefully on these issues after a French teacher was murdered for showing cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in class.

France "will not give up our cartoons", he said earlier this week.

Depictions of the Prophet Muhammad can cause serious offence to Muslims because Islamic tradition explicitly forbids images of Muhammad and Allah (God).

“France “will not give up our cartoons”, he said earlier this week. “

Well it’s certainly not on the same level of: “We will defend our island and never, surrender.”

But he’s French, so it’s an ok start.

“Make no mistake, every Muslim in Europe is on Erdogan’s side.”

He will not publicly call them to arms, but he will message it through the Imams.

But based on what I’m seeing recently in Europe, the Muslims would do well not to start what they cannot finish. Europe has a strange propensity to remain passive...until they’re not.

So few remember that white Europeans invented killing on an industrial scale. Then perfected it.

To all Muzzies, BLMers, Antifas, and other assorted communists, socialists, and anarchists.

Not only did they invent it and then perfect it, but they have had 75 years to work out any conceivable bugs in the system.

I’m torn on this one.

Sure, the Turk and his Muslim games are the bad.

But, come on. Marcon is an idiot and should be checked out by competent brain checkers.
