Iran’s Khamenei calls Macron’s support for Muhammad cartoons a ‘stupid act’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTEHRAN, Iran — Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei calls the French president’s support for cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad a “stupid act” and an “insult” to those who voted for him.
“Ask your president why he supports insulting God’s messenger in the name of freedom of expression. Does freedom of expression mean insulting, especially a sacred personage?” Khamenei says, referring to French President Emmanuel Macron, in a message addressed to “French youth” on his official website.
“Isn’t this stupid act an insult to the reason of the people who elected him?” he adds.
