ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that the French president deliberately attacked Islam and supported Islamophobia.

According to details, Prime Minister Imran Khan in response to a statement of the French President regarding blasphemous sketches in his tweet said that the French President is promoting division instead of rejecting extremism.

The Prime Minister said that statements based on ignorance further promote extremism. The world cannot tolerate further division. The identity of a leader is that he unites people as Nelson Mandela united the people instead of dividing them.

Imran Khan wrote in his tweet that polarization causes radicalism, the statement of the French President hurt the feelings of millions of Muslims.

He said that by encouraging the screening of blasphemous cartoons targeting Islam and our Prophet Muhammad, French President Macron, without clearly understanding anything about it, had killed millions of Muslims in Europe and around the world. Emotions are attacked.

Islamophobia will overwhelm Europe, French president needs brain treatment, Erdogan

The Prime Minister tweeted that it was unfortunate that President Macron chose to encourage Islamophobia by attacking Islam instead of terrorists (whether they be Muslims, white supremacists or Nazi ideologues). Sadly, President Macron has deliberately chosen to provoke Muslims and his citizens.
