Anti-French protests erupted in Muslim-majority countries on Friday, with tens of thousands expressing anger over the French government’s call for “reform” of Islam.
The protests in the Middle East and South Asia were the latest sign of rising dismay directed at France and the government of President Emmanuel Macron, which has defended cartoons published by Charlie Hebdo, a satirical newspaper, which denigrated the prophet Muhammad. On Thursday, three people were killed in a French church in what Macron termed “an Islamist terrorist attack.”
