(CBC) Members of the Syrian Community Centre of Windsor gathered outside city hall on Friday to protest France’s reaction to Muhammad cartoons.
The group of about 30 held up signs condemning French President Emmanuel Macron for recent “anti-Muslim comments” and his staunch support of secular laws that deem caricatures depicting the Prophet Muhammad as protected under freedom of speech.
“So here we’re at least doing our part in Windsor as the Syrian Community Center and expressing, raising awareness across all social media platforms and by standing here, we’re showing that we don’t condone those actions and we don’t support them,” said Ibrahim Alsalkhadi, youth representative of the Syrian Community Centre of Windsor, Ont.
