The Council of Europe has pulled posters involving women wearing hijab to promote diversity and respect for Muslims after a widespread outcry from the French public and political figures. This led to the question of what values is France defending?
On October 6, following France's request and the backlash, the Council of Europe announced that it deleted the posts for the campaign while looking for ''a better presentation of this project.''
''Its political and philosophical framework is clearly not tolerant and inclusive: deep systemic racism has always been part of the French Republic's DNA,'' Freschi told TRT World while adding that Islamophobia in France is now state-sponsored. ''France again proved that it has been the laboratory of Islamophobia that tries to normalise this open hostility to the visibility of Muslims in the public sphere. And this move of France further confirms that the country’s hostility to Muslims is not a hoax,'' Louati said while adding that it is a reality for millions of Muslim women.
''You have freedom of speech when you dehumanise Muslims, when you make fun of Black people or immigrants. But you cannot make fun of Emmanuel Macron who prosecutes any person who criticises or makes fun of him,'' he said.
