Iran Press/ Iran News: Reacting to the French President Emmanuel Macron’s anti-Islam comments, the Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif wrote in a Twitter message on Monday: “Muslims are the primary victims of the "cult of hatred," empowered by colonial regimes and exported by their own clients.”
“Insulting 1.9B Muslims and their sanctities for the abhorrent crimes of such extremists is an opportunistic abuse of freedom of speech. It only fuels extremism,” FM Zarif added.
Calls to boycott French goods are growing around the world after President Emmanuel Macron's comments against Islam and Muslims.
Macron on Wednesday accused Muslims of separatism and vowed not to give up cartoons depicting Prophet Muhammed.
