Malaysia condemns 'provocative acts', defamation of Islam as French cartoon anger mounts

KUALA LUMPUR - The Malaysian government said it strongly condemns provocative acts that would defame Islam as Muslim activists in the country called for the boycott of French products amid a growing anger across the world over the French President's remarks that defended cartoons of the Prophet.

Datuk Seri Hishammuddin also said his government is gravely concerned over the"growing open hostility towards Muslims". French President Emmanuel Macron found himself in the centre of a global backlash, particularly in the Islamic world, over a remark he made at a memorial service for high school teacher Samuel Paty, who was murdered earlier this month in a terror attack.

More on this topic Protesters took to the streets in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Iraq, Gaza and Turkey as France warned its citizens abroad to take extra precautions.
