Macron faces backlash over terror comments
Macron's latest comments come amid the ongoing condemnation in several parts of the world, where a certain section of the Muslim community is protesting over the French president's earlier remarks on the religious link that he drew in wake of the recent terror attacks in his country. France reported multiple attacks in the last month, including the beheading of a history teacher named Samuel Paty, which sparked nationwide protests.
Reacting to the worldwide debate over his remarks after the horrific attacks in France, and the protests against him in nations like Turkey and Pakistan, French president Emmanuel Macron said that there is no stigmatization of any religion in his country. On Sunday, Macron explained that France is fighting with terrorism "in name of Islam, and not Islam itself", and his statements should be taken in the same context.
