    • Abstract:
      However, within days of Macron's speech, many Muslim voices seemed to rise in anger against France. Vatan-e Emrooz, an Iranian newspaper, described Macron as "the Devil of Paris… who worships Satan", accompanying this statement with its own caricature of Macron as a demonic figure. Even beyond these geopolitical games, Macron's statement has hurt and disappointed many Muslims in France who do not want to be associated with Islamist fanatics. [Extracted from the article]
