In the name of of Allah the Merciful

Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds and blessings and peace be upon the Noblest of Prophets and Messengers, our Prophet Mohammad, the master of the first and the others, and all his family and companions pray for them and keep them safe:

The French President still spews out his hatred against Muslims and the Prophet of Islam, peace be upon him, disregarding the feelings of hundreds of millions of Muslims and the feelings of billions of people of the world who respect all the divine religions and their symbols, including the religion of Islam, and the Syrian Islamic Council has previously issued a press release, denouncing Macron’s mindless statements and his malevolent stances, as well as many governments, institutions, associations and religious councils denouncing this frivolity, and wise people of politics think he would retreat from his positions and amend his statements, in order to preserve the social fabric of France in the first stance and also to preserve the interests of his state with the Islamic countries and peoples in the world, but unfortunately he kept commenting in rude ways, and bullying Muslims accusing them of extremism and terrorism, and abused their prophet to approve the cartoons that offend him, may blessings and peace be upon him, and consider this as personal freedom, approved by the values ​​of their alleged democracy, repeating the bad experience of “offensive cartoons” in Denmark, which took place nearly twenty years ago, and the Syrian Islamic Council regarding this tyranny, clarifies the following:

First: Macron underestimates the feelings of millions of Muslims, fuels the feelings of rancour, hatred and chauvinism among adherents of religions, threatens coexistence between people of the same nation, contributes to the clash of civilizations, and tries to win the far-right sectors in France for electoral reasons, and encourages these movements in all Europe to harass Muslims and assault on them, and this was evident in some European countries such as Germany, and this was represented in the attacking and closing Muslim mosques.

Second: (Macron) and his like-minded politicians do not realize the extent to which Muslims love their Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, regardless of their degrees of religiosity and adherence to the laws of Islam, and these politicians did not take a lesson from the incident (publishing cartoons offensive to the Prophet of Islam) in which Muslims rose up in anger around the globe. This was evident at various official and popular levels, and these offensive provocations have increased love feelings in Muslims hearts for their Prophet and granted them a return to their religion and its right teachings. Therefore, we call on the Islamic peoples to express their anger peacefully at this attack in support of their Prophet.

Third: Those who do no consider the words of values ​​and principles must have a hard lesson in terms of interests and benefits, and from this standpoint the Syrian Islamic Council calls on the peoples of the Islamic world in general, the Syrian people in particular, and all commercial institutions and companies in the Islamic world to boycott French products, including cars and perfumes. That which generates fantastic profits, and this has already started in some countries, so this reckless person (Macron) must realize that he will be a scourge on his people and the country he leads, and to know that he has waged a losing war against the nation of Islam and its great prophet, and in order not neither tyrants nor offenders keep making abuses.

In conclusion, we call on the preachers and clerics to have for the next Friday sermon speeches and words on the love of this great messenger of Allah, the prophet of compassion, his virtues and values, may blessings and peace be upon him, and denouncing these provocations and discordant voices that are often heard.

We ask God to help us defending the prophet of peace and to reject the plot of the deceitful, the hatred of the haters, and elevate the word of truth and religion, praise be to God Lord of the Worlds.
