KUWAIT/PARIS - Kuwait’s retail co-ops have pulled French products in boycott over the use of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad in a French school class on freedom of expression whose teacher was then beheaded by a Chechen teenager.In Saudi Arabia, the Arab world’s largest economy, a hashtag calling for the boycott of French supermarket retailer Carrefour was the second most trending on Sunday.
In Kuwait, the non-governmental Union of Consumer Co-operative Societies, which groups more than 70 establishments, issued the boycott directive in an Oct. 23 circular. Several co-ops visited by Reuters on Sunday had cleared the shelves of items such as hair and beauty products made by French companies.
Kuwait’s foreign minister, who met the French ambassador on Sunday, condemned the Oct. 16 killing as a horrendous crime but stressed the need to avoid insulting religion in official and political remarks that “inflame hatred, enmity and racism”, the ministry tweeted. France recalled its ambassador to Turkey on Saturday after Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said Macron, who this month declared war on “Islamist separatism”, needed mental help over his attitude towards Muslims.
Freedom OF SPEECH AND EXPRESSION OurProphetOurHonour except_the_messenger_of_Allah إلا_رسول_الله Appologise to the dogs/animal kingdom
The freedom to insult and deeply hurt 1.9 billlion people of the Muslim faith, 25m of which live in the EU, is not freedom. Its a violation of all European values, including human rights and any European leader that condones this action needs to get his head examined. Period.
هذا ما يجب أن يحدث، ازدواجية معايير ونفاق وعدم احترام لم نخطئ بحق احد ديننا لنا لم نؤذي به أحدا، نحترم جميع المعتقدات والديانات والانبياء ان تخطئ بحق رمز مقدس لأي دين في العالم هو امر غير مقبول ومتخلف المضحك يطالب بحرية التعبير واستعدى سفير تركيا بسبب تصريحات رئيسها 😂😂😂
Boycott FR jusqu'à nouvel ordre 🖕
If someone don’t like that also someone don’t like the caricature

Freedom of expression and freedom of religion are both respected in France. Where is the mass boycott of China and Chinese products for torture and imprisonment of ouïgours?
Now do China..
You never hear any insults from Mr. Erdogan about Christianity. Mr. Macron a bad word related Islams, any Europen’s leader didint tell him any disapproval. Within the scope of religious freedom waiting Macron’s respect...
Great move We are all proud of Kuwait 🇰🇼
Aptal Macron kutsalımıza yaptığı saldırının karşılığını alacak...
No French products any more 👍🏼
I don’t think that Kuwaitis can live without Cartier. Seriously, the entire country wears Cartier in there.
How ridiculous 🙄
See guys this same ppl didn't gathered to condemn the killing of that teacher but yes they will do it now in the name of Islamophobia
This is just the start. More will come if this disrespect doesn't stop. Macron encouraging hatred in the name of freedom of speech just reaffirms his total arrogance and disregard for 2 billion muslims. I pray French come to their senses before anymore innocent lives are lost. 🙏
The French claim to be supporters of freedom,but a woman's CHOICE to wear a hijab in school, government premises (even as a visitor),etc is not respected. Pressuring Muslims by not allowing them to peacefully practise their religion(such as wearing a hijab)will cause radicalism.
When french products get swapped with arabic ones
Seriously this just shows that Islam is fanaticism to its core. Ok boycott French products, what are they going to use instead - their perfect Arab products? Ha ha .. just poor Propaganda
huuuge loss
Religious people are so petty.
My name is Nasir A. Nasir I am from Nigeria. It's my appeal from all Muslims to boycottfranceproducts because they did blasphemy of My Beloved Prophet Muhammad PBUH 💞 Replace my name & country with yours and tweet this. boycottfranceproduct BycottFrance
They removed it for few hours then they will fill it up again. Just hypocrisy they are
What’s the point of using makeups when their whole face is covered 😂
God holds people accountable and the drawings will not harm the Prophet Muhammad
Oh, beheaded is not enough?
Good job 👍👍
Great initiative by Kuwait retail co-ops.
Disgusting. They won't condemn the murder will they, yet we're supposed to want to work w/ these ppl &make trade deals when they hate our democracy.. The West shd boycott them, but they don't have the guts.. Instead we just pathetically hold hands &sing songs when they attack us.
shamsaldin88 When Kuwait people decided to not purchase French Product, it is their chose if you believe in Freedom 🙃
All the countries that rule their citizens through oppression, fear & disregard for human rights won’t allow the people to hear about freedom of speech. They might lose their power

Great and we will continue. Mohammad (PBUH) is our Prophet to whom we owe love more than anyoon earth.
Didn't France help save their damn asses from annexation by Saddam or was that all a mirage to the ungrateful Kuwaitis. ukinkuwait

In my opinion, this action does not correspond at all to the drawing because it is not an economic problem! Jean-Paul Agon deals only with his cosmetic products.
Religious fanatics are scary. They don’t think. Just follow the person gives the orders in the name of GOD. If your God tells you to kill someone because they don’t agree with your religion, then your God is really a devil.
Henkel Your Chance!
Who really cares what Kuwait does. Totally irrelevant
The best act they ever made
So called Islamic states are very active& enthusiastic to express their anger when one draws a silly cartoon and tell them this is your prophet. But, if it’s China burning Quran, burning Hadith(sayings of prophet), forbid all Islamic teachings & throw Uyghurs who practice it
Boycott? Cool, your right. Next, please be consistent and stop coming to France or to any other European country if freedom of speech is too heavy for you to 'digest'. Enjoy only your place. To us, the rest: 'Buy French products!' ✌🇫🇷
İt does not matter, Which religion you believe in , You SHOULD respect people’s values
Kuwait's loss. standbyFrance noextremism
morandiniblog Gros lol et la Chine qui tuent les musulmans vous fermez vos bouches étonnant
Good idea👍👍👍

Well, granted a cartoon is much more offensive than torturing Muslims in camps this policy doesn't seem to affect the distribution of Chinese goods. Hypocrisy over the roof.

Which cartoon was it ? This one ?
ShameOnYouMacron boycottfranceproducts boycottfrance
And if you are made the way you are by the will of god, why do you do what someone writes in a book?
Did they close Dior and Chanel?
Macorona cancelled fck him
Is it not classed as idolatry to worship another other than your god?
Yikes .... (having lived in Kuwait) since the place is ruled by men (and knowing what a lot of their women look like) ... that might not have been a good idea.
Oh ffs
Crazy small minded fools
It's a reasonable response if you've been upset.
Viva La France. Fuck them. They are back in the stone ages. They see nothing wrong with a beheading but condemn a cartoon. Islamic logic.
Killing someone over offensive speech is unfathomably more offensive than the offensive speech itself. If someone offends you, boycott them, shun them, respond in kind, but we must be unequivocally opposed to brutal violence in response to speech, even icky speech.
morandiniblog Hope Kuwait boycott the Chinese product for the ouïgours fdp!!!
It won't last more than a few months
morandiniblog Ça en devient tellement ridicule .... l'hôpital qui se fout de la charité 🙄
These French companies Prophet's will take a battering
