It’s unclear what “blasphemous remarks” this fellow had in mind. Perhaps it was Macron’s statements about his opposition to what he called “Islamist separatism.” Or maybe Mansoor Ali wanted Macron, in the wake of the jihad beheading of Samuel Paty over a Muhammad cartoon, to condemn all blasphemy against Muhammad and impose Islamic blasphemy law upon France.
“Man arrested for trying to attack French embassy in Pakistan,” La Prensa Latina, March 18, 2021 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Islamabad, May 18 (efe-epa).- The Pakistani police arrested Thursday a man trying to attack the French embassy in Islamabad, in revenge for French President Emmanuel Macron’s allegedly blasphemous comments on Islam and his support for the controversial cartoons of Prophet Mohammed.
Mansoor Ali fired several shots in the air with a rifle at one of the entrances to the diplomatic enclave of Islamabad in an attempt to bypass the security of the premises and attack the French embassy, a police officer, who asked not to be named, told EFE.
Ali’s attempt to attack the embassy was foiled and he was immediately arrested, the source added.
“He said in his initial statement that he wanted to take revenge against the French president over his blasphemous remarks,” the officer said….
Some of these protests ended up in clashes with the police when the demonstrators tried to reach the French embassy crying for the “head of the blasphemer”.
Moreover, a boycott of French products followed across the Muslim majority country.

Peter Buckley says
As the world moves further and further away from Islam, it can henceforth be known as “The Religion of Impotent Rage”……
mortimer says
Islam is not the ‘religion of impotent rage’, no, it is the religion of VIGILANTISM. Mohammed gave his blessing to vigilantes who murdered critics of Islam.

I blame France here: why haven’t they closed down and recalled all their embassy staff in Islamabad and Ankara?

Would’nt it be wonderful for Muslims to discover that Allah and Muhammed have been living there for the last 1400 years, and that all Muslims should be joining them.
It makes perfect sense, don’t you think 🙂
Jaydam says
I’m sure the Arab billionaires in the middle east would be happy to pay for ALL Muslims on planet earth to live on their own planet for eternity.

Macron trying to act tough to save his Political Skin with the Presidential Elections not too far off. France ought to recall their Embassy staff from various Muslim countries & start the mass deportations of these feral ingrates. Macron caused all this cynically & deliberately. He is NOT the solution & neither are his “Parties”.

Pakistan: Muslim with rifle tries to attack French embassy in revenge for Macron’s ‘blasphemous remarks’
………….
I suppose Macron’s “blasphemous remarks” was his taking issue with a Muslim beheading a French teacher. *Ugh*.
