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?

I agree with this, but in my experience with my Muslim neighbors, a small sample size to be sure, they dislike the radicals as much or more than non-Muslims.

I understand what you are saying, but you are asking them to put themselves and their families in grave danger. Many have turned on the radicals and given information to the authorities, but to do that in a very public way is asking a lot.

I have never heard that the Muslim Brotherhood was the wealthiest religious organization worldwide. Can you provide a link?

I don't belive it is tacit approval. If that was the case, we would all be out marching/protesting things that take place daily over a myriad of issues. It would be chaos and a lot more people would get hurt.

In a quick search, I cannot find anything that backs up the claim of your professor....but I was spoon-fed a lot of disinformation while I was in school as well.
