The wake of this anger thats been rising in muslim majority countries against france in the wake of the death of samuel patti the history teacher who was to capitated less than 2 weeks ago for showing cartoons of the prophet mohammed now the anger has come from the fact the president defended the use of those cartoons lets take a reminder of what happened. Well the anger has been spilling out since president machen defended the use of those cartoons those controversial cartoons of the muslim prophet mohammed and they have been protests in many muslim majority countries such as bangladesh in jordan in libya and also in gaza with people burning effigies of president and theres been this war of words between him and the turkish president who suggested that she needed to have his Mental Health checked many muslim majority countries also calling for a boycott of french products and a warning to french citizens who live or who are traveling in those countries to be extra vigilant at the moment. And charlotte within the last hour or so there have been reports of an incident also in france and avignon what more do we know about that. Well very little at the moment but we do understand that a man attempted to attack police in the norm and he was shot dead now the early reports and these are unconfirmed is that that men is said to have been of turkish origin so there will be a question whether that is related to this war of words between president macron and president and the fact that the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo yes they published its front page more king president early one showing him in his underpants holding a can of beer and exposing the buttocks of a woman while he said who profit in another incident again we cant say that this is related we understand that a Security Guard was stabbed outside the french consulate in jeddah in saudi arabia the Security Guard is being treated in hospital for that stabbing attack and we understand that the perpetrator behind that was arrested so 3 different events taking place but cant connect any of them but it really does seem that this anti french hostility is spilling over into some pretty brutal consequences ok thank you Charlotte Charlotte basically there reporting from paris well earlier we discussed the attack with the political analyst nicola murcutt she does say that radical islam poses a danger to france. Mustnt you were Center Status incredibly. Traditional. As it could be and no muslim countries so it is that which is taken over by a minority is a very radical one. Which is showing really that they are and that there are there are objective common carter where are we know that there are different radical muslim us interests and where the now being closed down for us is not doing is turning a blind eye because it doesnt their truth the subject it just wants to do it in the Muslim Community is rather degraded and there are just a couple a couple islamists and terrorists which is not the case that the radicalization of the Muslim Community even many muslims themselves to themselves is something which is real which is a danger for us which is dangerous for the Muslim Community because of course at the end of the day people are going to distinguish the good muslims and about muslims if we people are going to be cured because because they dont subscribe to them since they. Were protests are gripping the muslim world over the french president s recent defense of the right to parody religion it comes is french a typical magazine Charlie Hebdo whos caricature daughter at the center of the raw adds fuel to the fire with its latest front cover it does feature a cartoon of the president hes been one of the faces critics of the french state stance on freedom of expression and career is called the front cover disgusting but to accuse prosecutors launching a criminal probe now in response to shirley abdo publishing his caricature of the president has slammed its alleged hostility towards islam adding that disrespect for the prophet mohammed is spreading like a cancer especially among european leaders we asked people in paris how they see the cutting. Personally i find it disrespectful even if you have the right to use blasphemy. We have no right to mock religion. In these times of crisis and international attacks on france i find it important to reaffirm the values on which we are firmly established in france the caricature is the 1st of these. The publication of this drawing and mocking a religion is dangerous because it increases hatred. It represents the fact that despite everything humor is the most important thing and that everyone in this position after everything here said about france and the president of our republic gets a nice lesson from Charlie Hebdo. Thats the latest drawing without a one its a provocation meanwhile the french ambassador to sweden has recently gone as far as to say that france is a Muslim Country is remarks didnt ring true though with parisians we spoke to. I dont agree with the french ambassador to swear down because we live in a secular country there are many communities in france one of them muslim people which have a big place in france but we stay secular country. France is not a Muslim Country absolutely not it is a country of Judeo Christian tradition and there is nothing more to say it is really stupid. France is not a Muslim Country but islam is the religion which has the most believers here and we can see a lot of racism in france there are a prejudices towards muslim people will you my colleague you know unable to discuss with our guest limits of freedom of expression. You cant hold a country sponsible for one of my using posts can you its a private enterprise publishing satire in a western liberal nation i dont the problem is just charlie able in their characters i think its the institutionalisation of mosques i think its microns comments that islam is in chaos islam needs to be reformed mccrum to reform islam was move wrong to judge whether islam is in chaos or not i think when it goes up to a president ial level in france and you have someone at the level of most crime backing this caricature and making a big fuss about it and criticizing the state of islam yet thats taken very seriously by muslims throughout the world so bright that you space this gives me. All the private newspaper can make up to and use the french tradition you can accent it can refuse if i dont said something to our turkish friend inside did this newspaper the name shirley at the during 20 years i so that it gets here or against god again its just his rise against the pope and. Its not just the gates misname this newspaper the post is not the position of the government the position of the government is freedom of press a lot of muslims who are feeling theyre being directly attacked by this its not just seen as a clumped on radical islam is and how do you confront the 2 how do you do that this has a sort of clash of civilization in value systems i wouldnt go so far as to say it is it is extremely difficult there are clearly different perspectives on the world in volumes i think sensitivity to each other is important and i would say that freedom cannot be absolute in that sense. Religion is a very ginger very touchy subject and when you enter someone elses taboo and you claim freedom of expression but then you have a leader of a french leader again continue to project this on the buildings you have the french leader continue to say islam is in chaos this really pushes the line there is freedom of expression and then theres plain insulting isnt there where theres this fault nobody everybody right. For the problem is not misnamed the program is that in my country and to grisha its completely broken of course the biggest difficulties we still make in this same. Freedom. And if i can said this not by girl ok but this sense for photos. Ok lets go back to that breaking news from france today because 3 people are confirmed dead in the sudden french city of nice following a knife attack you see some of the latest bush received from the scene several others have been left injured the incident took place early in the morning in the city center and authorities do say that a suspect has been arrested well have more details and reaction just after the break. Was a pandemic no certainly no borders im just delighted to nationalities. As a. City we dont actually. Need to. Judge a. 2 commentary this is. We can do better we should. Everyone is contributing each your own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges create the response has been massive so many good people are helping us. It makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. The maturity to. Go in and you may never get out of. My teenage gang rules here. We will go. Through with but. I. Was. In for. The bell the last night when. You. Hello again now lets return to our breaking news from france because 3 people are confirmed dead in the southern french city of nice following a knife attack this is the latest some of the latest footage we proceed from the scene several other people have been left injured the incident did take place early in the morning in the city center and authorities do say that a suspect has been arrested for joining us now to paris attorney nationalizing in middle eastern issues you very welcome thanks for coming on the staff the news how do you view this latest attack in the context of what weve seen recently in france. Thanks for having me on how do we see this its tensions are mounting every day between the slimy work and the france in france we have the french government saying that we have the freedom of speech we have the freedom to do any supplier about anyone we want and on the other side we have the slimy words which says ok you can have the freedom of speech but you do you shouldnt be insulting our prophet so this 2 points of view are opposing each other and this 2 communities dont understand each other and these frustrations are mounting every day between the slimy board and france and more especially between turkey and france yesterday last night when the president maclin was giving a speech about that we confinement we had a big Turkish Community who went on the street attacked the police and were looking for our minion to attack them so theres a big pressure in in france people dont understand each other and these radical muslim that operates here in in france feel that french people are french media should not insult their prophet. Nobodys excusing no whats happened in recent days in france are they what can be done to combat. Islamic extremism. What can be done its a very very hard question because. If we want to stop the radical islam here in france we should prove and we should show them that france is a neutral country that what we call here. Its no religion has the right to interfere with the government or the state of affairs in france these radical muslims dont understand that and the french Government Regarding its freedom of speech says that we have the right to do anything you want to anyone we want and this is our right this is our freedom of speech but in general we should understand and the viewers should understand that in france we have almost a total freedom of speech which saw 1st few exceptions and few restrictions but these restrictions never apply to muslim thats i mean thats what the muslim of the french muslims they feel that the freedom of speech is. Suffers no received and when you attack the muslim people and the muslim religion but not the other religion thats what they think and so what you make of those what the certainly the latest arguments were seeing between france and turkey and the depiction of the turkish president by sharlee how do you think or how would you view the actions of the french president and the turkish president over this how they inflame the situation. The situation is getting more and more complicated because the president after he wants to reaffirm his power once people here in france say that he wants to recreate the Ottoman Empire and the french and the turkish prison has fuel economy problems within turkey and is fighting to stay in power so they way he wants to stay in power and to. To energize his base so people can vote for him is to say that look i am defending the muslim everywhere in the world and more especially in france because they think that the muslim people are very oppressed here in france he says that look im the only one in the islamic world which has the capacity to oppose president micron and the which has the capacity to defend islam and the prophet of islam but the character about the president of turkey i think this is this is not a very important thing because just about the president in france we mock prison macron are their president they usually mock us president so it shouldnt it shouldnt be a big problem but the president of turkey wants to make it a big problem for his internal issues that he has known i was listening to some people commentating from france the smalling and they were saying this is debate in france at the moment about whether sharia even though it has the right of freedom of speech should tone down what it is doing at the moment what is your view. My view is because in france you get the shirley help the it is a private enterprise its a private company and in order for the french government to tell twere private company what to do they have to pass by a lot and a lot which is within the frame of the french constitution saw the freedom of speech its within the french constitution if you want to tell shirley or the not to do that if you want to forbidden to do Something Like that or publishing in it about the prophet of islam you should go tool to the to the parliament which is the National Assembly and the senate and to get the constitution reformed so this is almost impossible because the french government and the french people they want to have their freedom of speech and they dont want this freedom of speech to suffer any exception or any restriction. Fascinating to talk she will leave it there that was corrosion. Peris attorney specializing in middle eastern issues thank you. For watching r. T.
