Abstract

I refer to Dr Kaleem Alam's "Muslims should take legal path", where he refers to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's statement on the Charlie Hebdo republication of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) drawings on Sept 2 that indeed stands in contrast to French President, Emmanuel Macron. The latter's defence of France's so-called uncompromising liberalism - as exemplified by Charlie Hebdo's republication of derogatory drawings of the Prophet - as a lifeblood of its democracy stirred controversy even within the country and beyond the Muslim world. Let the French President be reminded that it was countryman Jean-François Flauss, a Professor at the University of Paris II (Pantheon-Assas), who wrote in 2009 - years before Macron was elected president in 2017 - that European jurisprudence very clearly condemns any form of hate speech in principle. [See Flauss, Jean-François (2009) "The European Court of Human Rights and the Freedom of Expression," Indiana Law Journal: Vol. 84 : Iss. 3 , Article 3.
