Hamza Ali Abbasi urges Muslims to handle French cartoons controversy peacefully

Pakistani actor Hamza Ali Abbasi has called on the Muslim community around the world to observe calm and not resort to violent reactions when it comes to recent comments made by French President Emmanuel Macron about Islam.

“It is ur right to disagree & criticise but IT IS NOT UR RIGHT TO MOCK WITH THE INTENT TO DELIBERATELY INSULT & PROVOKE, its immoral, unethical and uncivilised and the only way we Muslims can make the world understand that is solely by peace & dialogue not murder, war & hostility,” he tweeted.

He said that it was abusive and not sacred to publish blasphemous cartoons of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), a man held sacred by more than 1.5bn Muslims around the world.

“Wht if Muslims organize a contest of throwing cow meat on a Ram statue? Or who can slaughter the most pigs in a synagogue or who can spit on a cross with the most accuracy. Its evil. Same applies in the case of making insulting cartoons of a man held sacred by more than 1.5BN PPL,” he tweeted.
