The world took advantage of Islam here as a consequence of the student act of decapitating his teacher for showing the cartoon characters of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. Chronology of the boycott of French products due to a statement by French President Emmanuel Macron on the caricature of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. The boycott of French goods has infected numerous countries, in particular Arab and Turkey. This chronology began when Samuel Paty, a teacher, was killed for disclosing the caricatures of the prophet Muhammad S.A.W. At that time, he taught freedom of speech in his class and displayed some caricatures of the prophet Muhammad that has been published by Charlie Hebdo magazine. It has become a source of anger and criticism for Muslims, as behaviours are not appropriate and perceives as insulting against Muslims. Most people around the globe always feel that they should have the right to freedom. Yet, they need to understand that the concept of 'right and freedom' is not the same. Consequently, the terms freedom of expression, religious freedom, freedom of speech, or any other freedom cannot be confused. Rights allow a person to behave how he or she desires. In Malaysia, the right to speech or express an opinion was mentioned in Section 10(1)(a) of the Federal Constitution which guarantees that every person has the right to freedom of speech and expression.
Lessons from Events in France What I want to emphasize in this article is freedom is not an absolute right because it also has limitations as provided in the law. Anyone has the right to express an opinion, but the content to be submitted is important whether it gives a good impression or not. What we can learn from the sequences of events that took place in France is freedom of speech without imitation and legal control caused many issues coupled with the frequent provocations of Muslims. As Muslims, we must know that patience is important and do not go overboard just because some have gone overboard.
