Newcastle Muslim leaders have condemned the French president after he has written a letter to The Financial Times due to being misquoted in an opinion piece, says a press release.
Nabeela Ali, chair of Anti-radicalisation Mentoring and Awareness Network project, Hussain Sanam, Pakistan Cultural Society and Younes Mohammed, chair of Newcastle Central Mosque Islamic Centre say that Emmanuel Macron’s remarks against their community are harmful to billions.
In a letter, Mr. Macron stated that: “If France is primarily attacked by Islamist terrorists, it is because it embodies the freedom of expression.”
