(Anadolu) Turkey’s parliament speaker on Wednesday slammed French President Emmanuel Macron’s Islamophobic remarks.
“Macron’s remarks on struggling with Islamic separatism are [an] example of crude Islamophobia,” Mustafa Sentop said in a tweet.
“France should first confront its racist and massacrist history,” he said, referring to its colonialist past.
Sentop’s remarks came after Macron said he will end the system in which foreign countries send Muslim preachers to France — in a crackdown on what he called “separatism.”
