French President Emmanuel Macron is facing massive opposition from Islamic countries around the world for his controversial remarks on Islam after the killing of history teacher Samuel Paty who discussed Charlie Hebdo Cartoons in his class. Macron is being accused of supporting the alleged provocative cartoons and intentionally hurting the sentiments of Muslims. However, this resentment against the French president is now being used to nurture their own agenda by some hardliners. The controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik, without naming Macron, has given provocative statement.
