  • The latest caricature, released online on Tuesday night, showed underpants-wearing Erdogan, sipping beer while lifting the skirt of a hijab-clad woman.

    "Ooh, the prophet!" said one of the characters in the cartoon titled, "Erdogan: in private, he's very funny."

    Charlie Hebdo is famous for publishing racy cartoons of Prophet Mohammad, which the Muslims find blasphemous. The cartoons have gotten Charlie Hebdo attacked multiple times.

    These publications want to sow seeds of hatred: Erdogan's spokesperson
  • Condemning the cartoon, Erdogan's spokesman, Ibrahim Kalin, tweeted, "We strongly condemn the publication concerning our president of the French magazine, which has no respect to faith, the sacred and values."

    "The aim of these publications, that are devoid of morality and decency, is to sow seeds of hatred and animosity," added Kalin.

    Meanwhile, Vice President Fuat Oktay asked the international community to speak up.

  • Quote

    "Cartoons a result of Macron's anti-Muslim agenda"

  • "French President (Emmanuel) Macron's anti-Muslim agenda is bearing fruit! Charlie Hebdo just published a series of so-called cartoons full of despicable images purportedly of our president. We condemn this most disgusting effort by this publication to spread its cultural racism and hatred," Erdogan's communications director, Fahrettin Altun, said.

    Macron's statements on Islam have irked Muslim leaders
  • To note, French President Emmanuel Macron has angered the Muslim world with his remarks, one of them being, "Islam is a religion that is in crisis all over the world."

    After teacher Samuel Paty was killed in Paris, for showing students aged between 12 and 14 Charlie Hebdo's cartoons while teaching about freedom of speech, Macron said he was a victim of Islamist terrorism.

  • Question

    What is Macron's problem with Muslims and Islam, asked Erdogan

    What is Macron's problem with Muslims and Islam, asked Erdogan
  • Unhappy with Macron's recent statements, Erdogan asked, "What is the problem of this person called Macron with Muslims and Islam? Macron needs treatment on a mental level."

    Even if Turkey's economy remains in dire condition, Erdogan has also called on citizens to boycott French products.

    In some supermarkets of Qatar and Kuwait, French products were removed from shelves, to reflect anger against Macron.

    Anti-France rally in Bangladesh; Pakistan's PM condemned Macron

  • Tellingly, Macron has also upset Bangladesh with his statements. In capital Dhaka, 40,000-people participated in an anti-France rally, burnt Macron's effigy, and demanded a ban on French items.

    Pakistan's Imran Khan, known to play into religious hardliners, opined Macron should have provided a healing touch rather than "creating further polarization and marginalization that inevitably leads to radicalization."

  • Envoy

    Pakistan wants to recall envoy from France. It has none!

  • On a related note, while Pakistan hopped on the trend to slam France, it found itself in an embarrassing situation yesterday after the National Assembly passed a resolution asking Islamabad to recall its envoy from the European nation.

    The Assembly, surprisingly, overlooked the fact that Pakistan doesn't have an ambassador in France as the last one, Moin-ul-Haq, was transferred to China three months ago.
