Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan just called out Facebook to stop the spread of violent and Islamophobic content on the social platform. The reaction of the PM was in response to the French President’s recent Islamophobic behavior.
President Emmanuel Macron paid tribute to an Islamist murderer of a French teacher last week, after which the French ambassador in Islamabad was summoned to give a diplomatic protest against the President’s problematic remarks.
Khan posted an open letter on Twitter this Sunday, expressing his resentment over increasing Islamophobia and extremism and the role of social platforms like Facebook in the spread of such content.
The letter talked about the situation in France where, Khan said, Islam was being associated with terrorism. He called out the French president for ‘'attacking Islam’' by encouraging the display of cartoons of the Holy Prophet Muhammad.
