-The Secretary General of the World Union of Muslim Scientists, Sheikh Dr. Ali Al-Qaradaghi considered that Emmanuel Macron's interview with Al Jazeera is a "Not positive but insufficient".<\/p>\n
The Secretary General of the World Union of Muslim Scholars, Ali Al-Qaradaghi<\/strong> , called on French President Emmanuel Macron<\/strong> to apologize to the Prophet Muhammad<\/strong> (God bless him and grant him peace) and all Muslims<\/strong> . He also urged him to promulgate laws criminalizing any attack on Islam<\/strong> and religious sanctuaries.<\/p>\n On October 21, French President Emmanuel Macron told the media that France will not abandon the "cartoons" "(insulting Islam and the Prophet Mohamed), which have unleashed a wave of anger in the Islamic world, as well. than a campaign to boycott French products.<\/p>\n Al-Qaradaghi indicated, via his Twitter account, that Macron's interview with Al-Jazeera is a step towards moderation, but it remains insufficient to remedy the impact of his first speech on Muslims.<\/p>\n In an interview with Qatari channel Al Jazeera on Saturday, Macron expressed his “understanding” of Muslims' feelings about offensive cartoons without denouncing the attack on the Muslim religion.<\/p>\n Al-Qaradaghi added that he expects more courage from the French president to openly apologize to the Prophet Mohamed as well as to all Muslims, to start a constructive and serious dialogue and to enact laws that prohibit and incriminate insults and contempt for Islam and religious shrines.<\/p>\n * Translated from Arabic by Wejden Jlassi<\/p>\n http:\/\/iumsonline.org\/ar\/ContentDetails.aspx?ID=12633<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NULL<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":52372,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[684],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52286","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opinion-articles-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52286","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52286"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52286\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/52372"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52286"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52286"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iumsonline.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52286"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
