Last week, the depictions were projected on French government buildings. Macron reiterated his stance about the cartoons after a French teacher, who showed the caricatures to his pupils in class during a discussion on free speech, was beheaded by an attacker on October 16. The president had defended the вЂњright to blasphemeвЂќ under free speech rights at the time of the republication in September, weeks before he prompted backlash from Muslim activists on October 2 when he claimed in a speech that Islam was вЂњin crisis globallyвЂќ and announced his plan вЂњto reform IslamвЂќ in order to make it more compatible with his countryвЂ™s republican values.

Macron was referring to the recent republishing of the caricatures by the Charlie Hebdo magazine to mark the opening of the trial for a deadly attack against its staff in 2015 when the Paris-based publicationвЂ™s cartoons were cited as a reason for the assault. вЂњThe caricatures are not a governmental project, but emerged from free and independent newspapers that are not affiliated with the government,вЂќ he added. вЂњI think that the reactions came as a result of lies and distortions of my words because people understood that I supported these cartoons,вЂќ the president said in the interview. Macron also hit out at what he described as вЂњdistortionsвЂќ from political leaders, saying people were often led to believe that the caricatures were a creation of the French state. вЂњI will always defend in my country the freedom to speak, to write, to think, to draw,вЂќ he added.

But you must understand my role right now, itвЂ™s to do two things: to promote calm and also to protect these rights,вЂќ Macron said. вЂњI understand the sentiments being expressed and I respect them.

MacronвЂ™s comments to Al Jazeera, in an exclusive interview to be aired in full on Saturday, come amid heightened tensions between the French government and the Muslim world over the cartoons, which Muslims consider to be blasphemous. French President Emmanuel Macron says he understands the feelings of Muslims who are shocked by the displaying of cartoons of Prophet Muhammad but added that the вЂњradical IslamвЂќ he is trying to fight is a threat to all people, especially Muslims.
