Nasr al-Shammary, deputy secretary-general of al-Nujaba, protested censorship and restriction for Islamic figures on social media platforms, noting that the media limit the access of anti-Arrogance and anti-American figures to social media, and at the same time pave the way for hate speech and sacrilege of the great figures.
The recent cartoons published by France’s Charlie Hebdo are the latest examples of an insulting attitude toward the revered persons, he condemned.
The Iraqi politician also warned that the mixture of political differences and religious issues can push nations into perilous situations, so the wise people of independent states are expected to stand strong against such provocations.
The French satirical weekly magazine of Charlie Hebdo, which once insulted the Holy Prophet of Islam to pursue Islamophobia recently desecrated the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran to propagate Iranophobia, while the French authorities have been very sensitive when it comes to writing on Zionism.
The name Charlie Hebdo associates with humiliation, insult, and defamation under the guise of freedom of speech and beliefs, but in fact, they misuse the concept to put forward their own ideological and political agendas.
Following the publication of insulting cartoons, numerous people and officials from around the globe criticized the French government’s double standard.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry summoned France’s Ambassador to Tehran Nicolas Roche, who was informed about Iran’s strong protest of the disrespectful measures of the journal insulting Islamic sanctities and national values.
