The leader of Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah on Friday described French cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad as an aggression and likened Paris sticking by them to "declaring a sort of war."

In a televised speech, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said by being stubborn, French authorities had worsened a standoff over the caricatures, which stirred anger among Muslims.

"French authorities instead, of fixing the issue... became stubborn about this being freedom of expression [saying] 'we want to continue with satirical cartoons,'" Nasrallah said, warning France: "You need to think about correcting this mistake," according to al-Arabiya.

Urging France to "be fair and just," he argued: "No Muslim in the world will accept our dignity... the dignity of our Prophet, being insulted."

Nasrallah's speech came in response to Thursday's knife attack in a church in Nice, in which a Tunisian man, carrying a copy of the Koran, killed three people. Eyewitnesses say he also shouted "Allahu Akbar" as he carried out the attack.

Nasrallah used his speech to distance Thursday's attack in Nice from Islam, saying:

"This event is rejected by Islam... which forbids the killing of innocents. Even if the perpetrator was a Muslim, no one should hold Islam accountable for this crime." READ MORE https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/hezbollahs-nasrallah-calls-on-france-to-back-down-over-mohammed-cartoons-647564
