After the attack, the former prime minister posted a series of tweets lashing out at the French President for notbeing civilised in blaming the religion of Islam for the killing of the insulting teacher.
According to Mahathir, Muslims have a right to be angry and kill millions of French people for the massacre in the past, but the Muslim have not applied the “eye for an eye” law. He added the Muslim don’t do that and so is the French government and that they should teach their people to respect other feelings.
He added that since they have blamed all Muslims for what was done by one angry person, the Muslims have a right to punish the French.
