These MPs want to reinforce the principle that so many people in the West have taken for granted up to now: in Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to Muslim sensibilities. And in non-Muslim countries, one must conform one’s behavior to Muslim sensibilities. The French government, by not backing down and condemning the Muhammad cartoons in the wake of the beheading of a schoolteacher for showing his class one of them, has departed from this principle, and must be brought to heel.
“130 Iranian MPs want France to apologize to Muslims over profane remarks,” Tehran Times, October 31, 2020 (thanks to Henry):
TEHRAN – In a statement issued on Saturday, 130 Iranian MPs asked the French officials to apologize Muslim nations for using sacrilegious language against Muslims and the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
“French statesmen should openly repent of this flagrant and inhumane move and appease and apologize to Muslim nations in the world,” part of the statement said.
The MPs warned if the French officials refuse to do so they will face reaction by all monotheists in the world.
The lawmakers also asked the Iranian Foreign Ministry to summon the French ambassador in Tehran over the blasphemous remarks by French President Emmanuel Macron….
In a post on its Twitter page, the AFP news agency said, “French President Emmanuel Macron expressed understanding that cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed could shock Muslims, but said that this could never be used to justify violence.”…
Michaël says
Jesus was A Jew, Judaism started over 4K years ago.
Christianity started in the 1st Century AD
The Muslim religion started 700 years after Christianity.
mortimer says
Michaël your concern about chronology is extraneous to the issue, since the MP is not criticizing Judaism or Christianity. He is criticizing a SECULAR COUNTRY (France).
Muslims hate secularism and they hate ATHEISTS more than they hate other religious people.
Any rival to Islam is not tolerated by Muslims.
Ola says
Your hypocritical words are useless. Muslims hate everybody that are not muslim. We know your evil way of life already

It’s the “if you don’t quit complaining about our cutting heads off of Unbelievers and Stabbing Unbelievers, we will cut even more of your heads off” play.
mortimer says
Yes, Chris. They are in effect saying, ‘If you say Islam’s founder is violent, we will kill you.’

Grimly spot on, Chris and Mortimer.
Kesselman says
No one, statesman, or anybody else should ever apologize to mozzies for utterings aimed at their ideology. On the contrary. Pulling teeth out of the beast is what’s needed and disarming Iran and destroying ISIS isn’t enough. It’s just a matter of time before another devout Muslim group under a different name figures out how to build, buy, or steal nukes. Whether it’s 1 month, 1 year, 10 years, or 100 years, it will happen. Islam in its entirety must be destroyed.
mortimer says
The ideology of Islam is in Sharia law. Sharia says the killer/assassin of a blasphemer does not pay any blood-money even if the person is a civilian vigilante.
A sheikh from Al Azhar University said in court (in the past) that if the state does not execute a blasphemer, then ‘Somebody has to do it”.
Carol says
I second that!
Fred van de Bunt says
It is upholding the divine (sharia) laws of God. Here the penalty of killing for blasphemy, which you also find in the Bible, the Old Testament, that is connected with Jewish Scriptures.
If the French infidel government refuses to apologize, they ” …will face reaction by all monotheists in the world!!.”
I am sure a few old style Christians and Jews will get a hard one, thinking back of those good old days of totalitarian theocratic power.
Chrissie01 says
Once more, altogether a mindblowingly splendid idea, provided that Muslim, in turn, also apologize to India (for Pakistan), to Kashmir, to Myanmar, to Spain, just for starters, and to all the other countries they invaded, mugged, destroyed, mistreated and subjugated. For all the libraries burnt in India and elsewhere.
For the theft of important parts of the Hindu culture, presenting them as their own achievements.
Furthermore, they should apologize for calling non-members to their faith “kuffar”, and they should apologize to women and animals for sodomizing practices, for halal slaughter practices, they should apologize to the West for being such an umemployed burden and they should say thank you for all the education and other support they get. They should apologize to all the women that were sold into marriage.
They should apologize for all the unrest and pain they inflicted on their hosts in the West, for not cooperating in criminal matters, when their brethren are involved. And for the caricatures of Jews and the West they themselves…
at this point, you see me yelping for breath…
Better still: They should wow to create and equilibrium in relationships and for every trained Muslim student in Western communities, they should offer training a Western student in their countries…full tolerance provided.
What I’m really trying to say is: NO, NOT ANOTHER ONE-WAY STREET… NO WAY.
It works both ways or not at all.

I agree, the French government should apologize, but to their citizens not to the muslim world.

While a sub-human animal was trying to kill people in Vienna, members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra were playing Haydn’s Empower Quartet. There’s the difference between Islam and Civilisation.

americanpatriot says
Islam’s war-plan of global conquest is marching aggressively forward.
They exert every possible mains of collective pressure including the economic pressure of boycotting produces not only on France, but also on any group or country they view it as enemy of Islam.
They will relentlessly and shamelessly wage media-campaign with their own mouths and their slave-journalists who are under their pay-roll to portray terrorists as the ones who suffer mental disease or being marginalized in the non-Muslim majority society.
They will try to protect and defend Islam and Muslims from any public discourse or intellectually critical analysis by labelling it as hate-speech, Islamophobia etc while they continue their on-going assault on non-Islamic societies by migrating under various guises and infiltrating deeper and deeper.
They will continue their Islamization march while crying out loud the noisy claim that they are victims.
We non-Muslims remain passive, deeply ignorant except a few, confused and clueless while all this wild-fire is burning awaiting our eventual death within a few centuries, instead of standing together and taking counter-measures to stop this advancing fire.
roberta says
That about sums it up.
Agostino Armo Pellegrini says
Is anyone else in here appalled by the arrogance of these muslims? Just who do they think they are? telling us what cartoons we can or can not have and in our own nations!
This attack on our liberty and national honor is the kind of effrontery that starts wars. These muslims want to pull us back to the Middle Ages, but no thanks, we’ve already been there. If muslims want the right to worship a demon that says “kill unbelievers” then we’ll always have the right to criticize and mock it, and don’t you forget it. Muslims expect magnanimous respect for their violent religion, but they show a murderous disrespect for the peaceful faiths of others. Muslims expect the greatest sensitivity when they are “offended” by our cartoons, but then act incensed over the offense others feel over the genocidal violence their violent religion causes. These muslims are hypocritical to the point of mental illness, they have zero introspection capability.
TEHRAN – In a statement issued on Saturday, 130 Iranian MPs asked the French officials to apologize…
We’ll consider apologizing for our cartoons when muslims apologize for their 1400 years of religious terror and finally put a stop to it. Until then they can expect more mockery, more disgust, and more intelligent rebuttal to the violence and hate they proffer as godly truth.
Now, I’m going to shit all over a pic of muhammad, I’m going to p*ss all over the koran, and then I’m going to draw him with donkey ears because he was probably the biggest jackass for religion in history. And ya know what, muslims? You’re gonna deal with it, just like we’ve had to deal with all the terror and murder your people do against us “infidels.” Say, I feel like a song right now, everyone! LET’S SING IT! just give your foot a boogie beat and sing real loud!
Infidel:
Muhmmad was a louse and a scumbag too!
He killed my mommy and he killed yours too!
CHORUS:
YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! ….. devil! devil! devil!
We just wanna …live free,
but they demand a JIZYA fee!
YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! ….. devil! devil! devil!
YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! ….. devil! devil! devil!
Infidel:
Allah was a nasty turd who killed for fun,
and guess what folks… HE AIN’T DONE!”
CHORUS:
YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! ….. devil! devil! devil!
We just wanna be safe in our beds,
but they keep …cutting our HEADS!
YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! ….. devil! devil! devil!
YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! ….. devil! devil! devil!
Infidel:
Our people are dropping like flies,
Their god won’t be happy ’till everyone DIES!
CHORUS:
YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! ….. devil! devil! devil!
We just want our culture and our heritage too,
but they’ve gone and made us their loo!
YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! ….. devil! devil! devil!
YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! ….. devil! devil! devil!
INFIDEL:
Booga booga booga, zam bam BOOM!
Muslims are surely our DOOM!
CHORUS:
YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! ….. devil! devil! devil!
We just wanna be free to speak our mind,
but muslims and the left have made it a crime!
YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! ….. devil! devil! devil!
YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! ……….KABOOM!
No more singing, no more fun
As a free nation we are finally done.
——————
If we let muslims steal our free speech over cartoons then we are their bitch, their slave, their dhimmi. No demoniacal fool is going to dictate to us our conscionable thinking or our sense of humor. We decide that ourselves in accordance with our own laws, our own culture, and our own good conscience. And any muslims that don’t like it can go back to the allah sh*t hole they came from.

………………..
Appalling, but who can be surprised?
Andrew says
The very best boycott these muslims can do against France is to leave France, and leaving Europe would be a great idea also, as they have brought us NOTHING in all the decades they have been among us, they were just waiting until their numbers were high enough, and now that day has arrived.
We use words against them, they use swords against us.
They can insult us every day, we shine it on, we insult them, or at least ask them to chill out, they attack us even more.
islam teaches revenge as an important tenet in their fascist religious cult and they see our lack of revenge as a weakness on our part.
The shit is coming down folks…
