People from around the including Muslims have taken to the social media to condemn the French Islamophobic magazine, Charlie Hebdo, over a front-page cartoon linking Islam to a recent deadly attack in Spain.
The front-page of the latest edition of the magazine shows two people lying in a pool of blood having been run over by a van next to the words: “Islam: religion of peace…eternal”.
France’s prominent Socialist MP and former minister Stephane Le Foll called it “extremely dangerous”.
“When you’re a journalist you need to exercise restraint because making these associations can be used by other people,” he said.
Muslims said such controversial cartoons do not fall in the category of freedom of expression.
They have strongly condemned the publication of the cartoon and demanded apology from the magazine.
