Recently the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had insulted his French counterpart, Emanuel Macron, asking him to get a mental health check. This led Macron to recall French ambassador to Turkey for consultation.
The Islamic world has reportedly cracked up after the
French President gave his node to using cartoons of Prophet Muhammed after
protests and campiagns against France began covering most of the Muslim
majority countries. Campaigns such as #boycott france started doing rounds.
As per reports this radicalism in the Islamic nations are
ignited by Erdogan’s remark he is trying to further provoke people against the
European country. Macron had said a week before that such things cannot be
controlled as that would sancth away the right to freedom of expression.
He also asserted that France being a secular state cannot
impose such rules based on one particular community to which Erdogan
aggressively responded, "What's the problem of the individual called Macron
with Islam and with the Muslims?" He further said, "Macron needs
treatment on a mental level.
"What else can be said to a head of state who does
not understand freedom of belief and who behaves in this way to millions of
people living in his country who are members of a different faith?"
In the wake of such uproar, officials from the
presidential office have confirmed that they have called on the French
ambassador to Turkey. Having said that, the officials also added that the
remarks of the Turkish president are unacceptable and rudeness and excess are
not a way to deal with such issues.
