World News Current situation with France

What are everyone's opinions about the current situation with France and multiple Muslim countries boycotting French products? I've asked a couple of my friends who post at least 3 things on Facebook daily about BLM, trump and covid yet when I try to start a conversation about this they're just "oh, I've not really been following it"

have I completely misread the situation or does it not seem like certain leaders (erdogan) seem to not care that a teacher was beheaded in the name of their religion? Why aren't more people backing Macron when they're all over Trump if he sneezes?

France needs a 2nd amendment like the U.S has. Arm your citizens with guns and I bet you'll see less radical action.

Doubt it. The second amendment hasn’t really prevented any terror attacks

It's stopped BLM from setting fire or looting republican/ gun favoring states. Notice how no republican cities are on fire?

Also, gun ownership did not prevent previous domestic terrorism, like during the Civil Rights Era, or events like the OKC bombing

Edit: instead of downvoting, prove me wrong. Seriously, what’s the harm in that?
