Macron’s Attack on Islam Reveals "Intolerance and Hatred,” Says Nobel Peace Laureate
Oct 29, 2020
The beheading of a teacher in France elicited inflammatory remarks from President Emmanuel Macron , which in turn has been met with an Arab boycott of French goods and outrage by the Muslim world.
Macron is accusing Muslims of separatism and is introducing a new bill to crack-down on this sin against French values.
Arab boycott of French products
Hashtags in English and French, such as #boycottfrenchproducts , as well as in Arabic are trending on Twitter and other social media following a call to boycott French products across the Muslim world, in response to an “anti-Islam” attitude displayed following the murder of a French teacher.
In Qatar, major supermarket chains started removing French products from their shelves, while the Al Meera company said in a press release October 23, “We affirm, as a national company, that we operate with a vision that is consistent with our religion, established customs and traditions, and in a way that serves our country and our faith and meets the aspirations of our customers.”
Kuwait, Oman, and Morocco are also participating in the boycott of French products.  The oil-rich Arab Gulf countries are an important market for French agriculture, food, beauty, and luxury items.
Qatar University decided to postpone the French Cultural Week in protest of the anti-Islam insults, as their way of participation in the boycott. “Any denigration or violation of the Islamic beliefs, sanctities, and symbols are absolutely rejected,” the university said in a statement. “These insults harm the universal human values and the high ethical principles of all societies,” it added on Twitter.
