Here again we see that even the slightest pushback against the advancing jihad is immediately characterized in all too many quarters of the Muslim world as a gratuitous attack on a wholly innocent Islam, a manifestation of “Islamophobia” and “hate” that all decent people must reject.
“‘Boycott French products’ launched over Macron’s Islam comments,” Al Jazeera, October 25, 2020 (thanks to David):
Several Arab trade associations have announced the boycott of French products, protesting the recent comments made by President Emmanuel Macron on Islam.
Earlier this month, Macron pledged to fight “Islamist separatism”, which he said was threatening to take control in some Muslim communities around France.
He also described Islam as a religion “in crisis” worldwide and said the government would present a bill in December to strengthen a 1905 law that officially separated church and state in France.
His comments, in addition to his backing of satirical outlets publishing caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad, has led to a social media campaign calling for the boycott of French products from supermarkets in Arab countries and Turkey.
Hashtags such as the #BoycottFrenchProducts in English and the Arabic #ExceptGodsMessenger trended across countries including Kuwait, Qatar, Palestine, Egypt, Algeria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Turkey….
In a statement, Kuwait’s foreign ministry warned against the support of abuses and discriminatory policies that link Islam to terrorism, saying it “represents a falsification of reality, insults the teachings of Islam, and offends the feelings of Muslims around the world”.
On Friday, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned what it said was France’s continued attack against Muslims by insulting religious symbols.
The secretariat of the Jeddah-based organisation said in a statement it is surprised at the official political rhetoric issued by some French officials that offend French-Islamic relations and fuels feelings of hatred for political party gains.

Ach well..more french wine for all the kafirs
Roger Woodhouse says
The usual ‘taqiaa’ nonsense spouted by ignorant Muslims re their ‘religion’.They dont know the teachings found in their ‘works manual’ the Koran and spout the usual platitudes believing the ‘infidel’hasnt read it either.Only by banning Islam outright here in the West will muslims believe we mean business.

Muslims rally in Germany against Macron’s defending the Mohammed cartoons
It suddenly became really noisy last Sunday afternoon on Lübbener Square in Neunkirchen. A group of about 25 people were shouting their protest against the current policy of French President Macron ( Defending the Mohammed cartoons). The police, who, according to their own statement, were taken by surprise by the action and were alerted at 4.21 pm, reported that the group included “people with a foreign background, including Syrians”. The group included men, women and children. The protest lasted about 20 minutes and was peaceful, the police said on request. Further actions were expected in the coming days, the group announced. In talks with the protesters, the police called for closer cooperation in the run-up to the protest.

LOL…..
Lesley Ward says
Yes, BUT now the French might understand how the BDS is propaganda driven strangely by the same muslim ideologues, and that they have backed. Pay back, now you might apologise to Israel.
Eva says
Exactly!!! But I bet they won’t. And I doubt if they’ll stop with the Jew-hatred either.
The french have always been cowardly, corrupt and treacherous little quislings.
DavidR says
This won’t go anywhere beyond plans to assassinate Macron and briefly unite Muslims under their imaginary ummah. The ummah is like a storm. The little vapor droplets are like individual Muslims who may or may probabably not practice Islam as proscribed. When a kaffir gets attention for criticizing Islam these droplets start forming dark clouds and threatening to rain. Sometimes it starts raining and it may end there if it ruins the day for the non Muslims. If the kaffir insist on being optimistic and under threatened then it starts to flood. The flood usually kills more Muslims than it’s intended target. But this campaign’s organizers overestimated the buying power of Muslims and assumed an automatic allegiance from them that won’t happen. So once again zealous Muslims fail at failing.
Wellington says
How about boycott Islam? Count me in.
Jayell says
I think we’re already doing that. The trouble is that as soon as it becomes obvious you start getting the ‘islamophobia’ whingeing. And then you know what tends to happen next!
R Russell says
I hope the EU stop importing goods from Turkey.
Templer says
No the Eu wants turkey in the Eu put the finale nail in chirstain Europe turn it into Muslim Europe
BN says
EU is a union of 27 states and it doesn’t usually have unianimous views on various issues. For example, during recently, the member states have become increasingly reluctant towards the possible EU membership of Turkey due to Turkey’s development towards an auhoritarian state.
Jayell says
Are they really still pushing that line even with Erdogan’s antics? Good thing the UK has left!

Actually, support for Turkey joining the EU pretty much collapsed some years ago. One of the few bright spots, actually.

I saw bottles of liquid hand soap sold at Save A Lot. I didn’t take any. Turkey is not our friend anymore.
Dude says
I would not sell/give them anything. They have been at war with us since the 7th century, with no end in sight.
Let them see just how pathetic their ‘civilization’ really is.
tim gallagher says
All these reports mentioned here at Jihad Watch relating to the vile Muslim reaction to Macron getting a little bit tougher with the Muslim scum. To the diseased Muslim mindset the totally evil, barbaric beheading of the teacher doesn’t matter at all. They seem to only be outraged about a cartoon of that low life piece of trash, Muhammad, being shown. And now there is this ongoing outrage from all parts of the barbaric Muslim world. As is often mentioned here at Jihad Watch, the Muslims are somehow always the victims, always being picked on and being hard done by. The Muslim mind doesn’t belong in any civilised country. It is them or us. Off this topic, yesterday in Australia, there was plenty of justified outrage about 13 Australian women being subjected to an invasive genital examination in Qatar before they got onto a Qatari airline. It was a big deal on the news in Australia yesterday. Jihad Watch might be interested in the incident. I googled “invasive examination of women in Qatar”. New York Times has a story on it. I just thought, well, what happened in Qatar is typical barbarism in a typical Muslim country. It might have woken quite a few people up here in Australia (at last) about how barbaric Islam is, because there was a lot of outrage over this disgusting incident, including at high levels of the Australian government.
Wellington says
Fine post, tim gallagher. With you again.
Islam is rotten and continued willful ignorance of Islam is rotten as well.
No excuse for Islam. No excuse for pathetic dhimmi apologies for Islam (oh yeah, Biden comes to mind first and foremost—what a doofus).
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the comment, Wellington. I agree, there’s “no excuse for Islam”. It is so barbaric and plain evil in its attitude towards so many aspects of human life. This incident in Qatar which I mentioned was big news yesterday in Australia. And quite rightly. Our Foreign Minister was going to complain about it very strongly to the government of Qatar. As someone who is awake to islam’s foul nature, as the people here at Jihad Watch are, I was sitting back thinking, oh, this might actually wake some of the halfwits (doofuses will do), who normally seem to think that islam is OK, up a bit. I often think, how the hell haven’t all the people woken up to Islam’s repulsive, inhuman nature yet. To me , it beggars belief. There’s so much evidence by now. Even the slowest of slow learners should have got it by now.
Boycott Turkey says
BOYCOTT TURKEY I will visit France more after corona is over and try and buy French products I notice they are protesting against the cartoon but not of the beheading of the teacher really vile people they are

Templer says
Boycott Turkish products and Boycote holidays to any Muslm mojortey countreys hit them in there pocket evil santic cult backwards they are
somehistory says
If every moslim quit buying anything French…first of all, every moslim in France would have to go live elsewhere…and the rest of the world kept buying French products, the French could still make a go of things.
If they can’t terrorize their way out of hearing the truth, they resort to boycotting…as in against Israel…in order to get their way. They have already tried the whining routine and it hasn’t seemed to work; nor has the calling Mr. Macron and one of his ministers names.
What d do the French produce besides wine? What would happen if Walmart boycotted moslim countries…like pakistan and indonesia…from where a large portion of their goods come? First, we would all be buying better made products. And less money would go to terror states.
What a world it has come to be. Never imagined it during those long-ago hot days of lazy summers and short winter nights full of hot cocoa and fires in the place.
Yogi says
Germans , don’t take any holidays in Turkey, it’s disgusting what that psychopath Erdogan is doing.. I will buy more outstanding French products, cheese- delicious and more more champagne pls. Amazing.,
Tony says
What happened here is that Macron finally got tired of all the Islamist crap going on. No need to worry, the boycott won’t last 2 weeks.
Tony says
BTW, look at how many ME airlines fly Airbus planes….guess they will boycott spare parts, ay? Or, hold a fire sale on their planes….(not going to happen…laughing). https://www.airbus.com/newsroom/stories/a320-middle-east-africa-dubai-airshow.html
Jayell says
They’ve been desecrating churches for years, threatening to blow up French monuments, they were probably responsible for burning down Notre Dame (which even Hitler never quite got round to doing), murdering French citizens left, right and centre, they’ve had to have their ‘places of worship’ and ‘cultural centres’ forcibly shut down because of links to criminal activity, then when a teacher shows a few drawings of their ‘prophet’ to some schoolkids they cut his head off in the street and the French President then tells them a few home truths about themselves (which everyone’s saying anyway), we get this gigantic, self-righteous hissy fit. Is there something wrong with these people?
James Lincoln says
Jayell,
The vast majority of muslims cannot handle the truth – that’s why they continue to be muslims.
But you knew that already…
markey2020 says
LOL, I live in Arab country .I had gone out and bought several Lacoste t-shirts , few for me and others as presents for my friends.
R Russell says
I suppose any boycott of Turkish goods will be described as Islamophobia and we may be ‘forced’ to buy them to show how happy we are to submit to Islam. I’ll be looking at country of origin now before buying anything. (Just like I buy Israeli goods when there is a choice with another country in the same region)
James Lincoln says
R Russell says,
“I’ll be looking at country of origin now before buying anything.”
Me too !!!
Sam Morris says
Wake up, slaves. Islam is a failed tyrannical form of government that promotes itself under a religious disguise.
While Islam promotes itself as a “religion of peace”, it is in fact, a set of rules, known as Sharia Law, that promotes slavery, oppression of women, murder, rape, and many other human rights violations.
Ask yourself a simple question: how many Islamic countries can you name (there are fifty) that are a good model of democracy, freedom, equality and technological hub? None?
It is not a coincidence, in its 1,400 years of short existence (compared to other forms of government) – Islam conquered fifty countries, by force and by stealth Islamization.
Islam has killed over 270 Million people, it is responsible for the genocide of the Jews (7th century), Christians (to present day), Yazidi, Buddhists, Hindus, Assyrians, and even Muslims who resisted Islam or simply tried to escape Islam are killed.
Muslims are not allowed to leave Islam, as the punishment for leaving Islam is death. This is the foundation of the Slave-religion and death-culture of Islam.
The problem in Muslim societies is rooted in authoritarianism, which burdens practically every community, mosque, and family.
While Muslim governments deal with the West, openly or secretly, they often have their clergy instruct the people not to deal with the West. Yet the rich Muslim governments wield their financial influence to control Islamic movements worldwide, and some even have the backing of the U.S. government as representing “moderate” Islam.
These countries also incite extremists and then claim strategic value in defending the West against these extremists. While other citizens are defamed by clerics and oppressed by the government, religious radicals retain power as long as they do not condemn the ruler and represent a real threat. Women who drove through the streets of Riyadh, for example, in protest of the law banning them from driving, were slandered as whores by the religious Establishment. The duplicitous game of Middle Eastern leaders is withering, wherein they purport to protect the West from the fundamentalists they themselves have nurtured while they simultaneously escalate their rhetoric to the Muslim masses about Western imperialism.
The political structures of these countries cannot last forever because they are alien to their own cultures and, most important, alien to the spirit of Islam. Many egalitarian principles within Islam have long been shackled by countries that follow the lead of a strongman.
I hope that the American people and people of the world will wake-up and smell the poison of Islam.
OLD GUY says
Are there any goods from islamic countries other then violence and oil?
Eva says
Don’t forget rape, paedophilia and bestiality.
Giacomo Latta says
‘He also described Islam as a religion “in crisis”’
Macron will be the one in crisis as long as he thinks Islam is just a religion.
James Lincoln says
Giacomo Latta,
Agree.
So in what time period did Macron think that islam “as a religion” was *not* in crisis?
Boycott Turkey says
They can boycott France by moving back to there Islamic hellholes
Crusades Were Right says
Boycott Islam.

We’re talking about a 100 billion/yr here. France is obviously concerned, however if enforced should explore expelling immigrants from all nations who support this ban back to their own shores.
Western world non jihadi- no commie world should focus on trading with each other/work in that direction for this decade. Redraw lines and f*”* dictators of all shapes and sizes.
