The Muslim hysteria over President Macron’s insistence that in France French values, including the freedom of expression, must not be compromised, is not diminishing. It’s become quite a spectacle for the non-Muslim world to observe. Muslims first began with demands for an apology from Macron himself, which was not forthcoming. Then the focus shifted to the French, 68 million of them (but we should not count the French Muslims; for surely they remain exempt from Muslim animus and threats) and the calls came from Muslims around the world for a boycott of French goods. Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Turkey were among the Muslim states calling for such a punishment; in a fine frenzy, Turkish President Erdogan himself, and not merely a government spokesman, proclaimed that Turkey would be imposing such a boycott. So far, so over the top.
But things got crazier still when former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamed offered his own take on the matter. Mahathir at 95 has not slowed down. He is still his same old avuncular smiling self, a vicious antisemite, and hater of Infidels, whose charm escapes me and you, but not the world’s Muslims. Mahathir claimed that Muslims would be well within their rights to “kill millions of French people.” They have the right to kill millions of French people. Tiens!
It seemed to most of us that no one could top that, but we failed to reckon with Pakistani cleric Allama Khadim Hussain Rizvi, who posted a video on his YouTube channel, which MEMRI reported on here https://www.memri.org/tv/pakistan-khadim-hussain-rizvi-calls-jihad-atom-cartoons-france
In a video posted on his official YouTube channel on October 24, 2020, Pakistani politician and Islamic scholar Allama Khadim Hussain Rizvi urges the Pakistani government to declare Jihad against “those who slander the Prophet Muhammad.” He urges the government to “use the atom bomb” and “[Let] everyone die.” He continues to say that he is declaring Jihad against those who slander the Prophet. Rizvi is the founder of the Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan political party in Pakistan, which was established to combat any change to the country’s blasphemy laws.
Allama Khadim Hussain Rizvi: “Today, France is challenging you [government of Pakistan]. Why have you kept the tenth atom bomb [hidden] inside? Use that atom bomb outside. Use that atom bomb outside. Declare a Jihad. [Let] everyone [in France] die. There would be no shame before the Prophet on the Day of Judgment.

“If you want dignity in this world and in the Hereafter, if you want the Islamic nation to survive, then declare on [the Prophet’s birthday] that Islam orders Jihad against those who slander the Prophet Muhammad. I am declaring Jihad.”
