Muslims around the world are opposing France
Let us tell you that on Thursday, an assailant killed two people, including a woman, by stabbing her in the Nautre-Drum Church in the city of Nice. Whereas a few days before this, a teacher of history was strangled to death.
President Emmanuel Macron gave a statement about all these incidents and called it an Islamic terrorist attack. Just a few days before this, Macron had given another statement that Islam is a threat to the whole world and those who want to intimidate France will now live in the shadow of fear.

Some Muslim countries such as Qatar, Jordan have also appealed for boycott of French goods.
