Indonesian Muslims protest France's defence of cartoon

People gather during a protest against the comments of French President Emmanuel Macron considered insulting to the Prophet of Muhammad and Muslims, on the main road near the French Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia, Nov 2, 2020. JAKARTA: Indonesian Muslims marched to the heavily guarded French Embassy in Indonesia’s capital on Monday to protest France’s president and his staunch support of secular laws that deem caricatures depicting the Prophet Muhammad as protected speech.

Waving white flags bearing the Islamic declaration of faith, more than 2,000 demonstrators, many wearing white Islamic robes, filled a major thoroughfare in downtown Jakarta. Authorities blocked streets leading to the embassy where more than 1,000 police and soldiers were deployed in and around the building barricaded with razor wire.The protesters chanted “God is Great” and “Boycott French products” as they marched.

Smaller protests also occurred in other Indonesian cities, including in Surabaya, Makassar, Medan and Bandung. On Saturday, Indonesian President Joko Widodo strongly condemned terrorist attacks in Paris and Nice as well as remarks by Macron that were deemed offensive toward Islam and Muslims.At a national memorial for a teacher who was beheaded near Paris last month, Macron said the teacher “was the victim of a conspiracy of stupidity, hate, lies ... hate of the other ... hate of what we profoundly are.”

In the Hadith.. 'Whoever kills a mu'ahid [non-combatant, innocent non-Muslims] will not smell the scent of paradise …' (Bukhari). Can’t call the terrorist a Muslim because he himself turned his back away from the religion of اللّٰه

French Muslims, stigmatized by attacks, feel under pressureFrench Muslims, stigmatized by attacks, feel under pressure It's all very well to play the victim but the real victims are dead, murdered in the name of their religion. If these people got on the streets to protest murder rather than cartoons then terrorists would be deterred rather than encouraged. A caricature is not an insult. Murdering people in the name of a religion is the greatest insult possible to that religion. In the Hadith.. 'Whoever kills a mu'ahid [non-combatant, innocent non-Muslims] will not smell the scent of paradise …' (Bukhari). Can’t call the terrorist a Muslim because he himself turned his back away from the religion of God.
