Displaced Palestinians and Syrians staged a rally in Deir Ballout camp, north of Syria, to protest French insults against Islam and the Prophet Muhammad.
The refugees said that they follow with great dismay the continued publication of offensive caricatures of the Prophet, expressing their firm rejection of any kind of insult against Prophet Muhammad and all the prophets.
The refugees warned that a repetition of such insults would ignite hatred and hostility and serve to destroy the culture of tolerance and peace among peoples.
On Oct. 2, French President Emmanuel Macron announced a controversial plan to tackle what he calls “Islamic separatism” in France, claiming that the faith of Islam is in “crisis” all over the world and promising to “free Islam in France from foreign influences”.
Last week, Macron defended blasphemous cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, saying France would “not give up our cartoons” after the brutal murder of high school teacher Samuel Paty, who showed provocative caricatures in a class.
The past few days have witnessed the republication of cartoons insulting Prophet Muhammad in France which, sparking a wave of anger and protests across the Islamic world and campaigns, have been launched in some countries to boycott French products.
