- Discussing France, who has the largest Muslim population in the Western world, 8.8% of the national population
- Recent events in France and the reaction of President Macron are a matter of concern for Muslims, especially since whatever happens in France, has ripple effects in Canada\'s province of Quebec
- Anti-Muslim sentiments lead to the control and curbing of the freedom of thought of Muslims, exploiting the beheading incident related to the cartoons of the Prophet
- Islam isn\'t against freedom of expression, however there are limitations and responsibilities
- Violent reactions to cartoons are not acceptable, however the same values that allow the cartoon, also allow Muslims the right to express objection to the cartoons
- Publishing them and then using them in a middle school setting as an example of freedom of expression was an unwise decision because it adds to xenophobia and Islamophobia.
- On the pretext of fighting extremism, President Marcon has asked Muslim leaders to accept a “charter of republican values”. He has given the French Council of the Muslim Faith, a 15-day ultimatum to accept the charter.
- For the Muslims who become over-emotional in these matters and do things that harm the overall image of Islam, I ask them to remember Surah al-Hijr, verse 95
