France tightens security amid fallout from teacher beheading

Supporters of the religious student group Islami Jamiat Tulba hold a representation of the French flag with a defaced image of French President Emmanuel Macron and Urdu writing which reads "Down with France" during a protest against the publishing of caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad, which they deem blasphemous, in Peshawar, Pakistan, on Tuesday, Oct 27, 2020.

Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said on France-Inter radio that the terrorist threat remains “very high, because we have a lot of enemies from within and outside the country”.He reiterated plans to try to disband Muslim groups seen as peddling dangerous radical views or with too much foreign financing. He accused Turkey and Pakistan in particular of “meddling in France's internal business".

Some members of France’s largely moderate Muslim community are calling for calm, and defending the freedom of expression that the beheaded teacher was seeking to demonstrate.against France, questioning Macron’s mental state, and France recalled its ambassador to Turkey for consultations, a first in French-Turkish diplomatic relations.
