The cartoons provoked a deadly terror attack at the magazine’s offices in Paris in 2015, which left a deep scar in France and sparked global debates on free speech, blasphemy and religion.Įrdogan’s spokesperson said the recent cartoons were the latest example of French President Macron’s “anti-Muslim” agenda. “My sadness and anger is not because of this disgusting attack against me, but because the very same media is the source of impudence against our beloved Prophet whom we hold so dear.”Ĭharlie Hebdo has previously triggered widespread anger throughout the Muslim word by publishing and later re-publishing a series of controversial caricatures depicting the Prophet Mohammed.

“I don’t need to say anything to those scoundrels who insult my beloved prophet on such a scale,” he said. The Erdogan cartoon on the cover of the latest edition of Charlie Hebdo also features a speech bubble above the character’s head that reads, “Ooh, the prophet!”Įrdogan dismissed the cartoon as a “disgusting attack”.
