(IPT) A consortium of New York mosques plans to protest at the French Consulate in Manhattan this Sunday to express their rage at Emmanuel Macron’s support for publishing caricatures of Islam’s prophet Muhammad.
“The French President is directly provoking the Muslim world in his support of offensive and vulgar depictions of the beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH),” the Majlis Ash-Shura, or Leadership Council, or Islamic Leadership Council, of New York said in a news release.
“The Muslim world will not tolerate such blatant disrespect of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and stands in solidarity with their French Muslim brothers and sisters.”
The release was issued before Thursday morning’s terrorist attacks in France, including a triple murder at a Nice church in which a woman was beheaded.
