“Macron does to Muslims what the Nazis inflicted on Jews”

Pakistani Minister of Human Rights Shireen Mazari said earlier in a tweet that “Macron does to Muslims what the Nazis inflicted on Jews”, claiming that “Muslim children will have to have an identification number, like Jews were forced to wear the yellow star on their clothes to be identified ”.

Macron is doing to Muslims what the Nazis did to the Jews – Muslim children will get ID numbers (other children won’t) just as Jews were forced to wear the yellow star on their clothing for identification. https://t.co/YdP2L3flJS

“Pakistan must rectify these remarks and find the path of a dialogue based on respect”, insists the spokesperson for the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Pakistan has been the scene since September of anti-French demonstrations, often stormy, after the republication of the cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad by the satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo. Several thousand people recently demonstrated at the gates of Islamabad to protest against Emmanuel Macron’s statements defending the right to cartoon in the name of freedom of expression, during the tribute to a teacher killed after showing such drawings to his class.
