France-backed YPG terrorists attack Syrian protesters who took to the streets to demonstrate against the publication of cartoons that insulted Prophet Muhammed in France
Several protesters in Syria's Deir Ezzor region came under the fire of the YPG, the Syrian offshoot of the PKK terror organisation, as they were protesting on Sunday against the publication of caricatures that insulted the Prophet Muhammed and anti-Islam sentiments in France.
In recent weeks, French President Emmanuel Macron attacked Islam and the Muslim community, accusing Muslims of "separatism". He described Islam as “a religion in crisis all over the world". The caricatures were first published in 2006 by a Danish newspaper, Jyllands Posten, sparking a wave of protests.Since 2014, Washington has backed the YPG to defeat Daesh, giving the group a central role in managing the Syrian Democratic Forces in the battlefields. The YPG-led SDF alliance now controls one-third of Syria with access to several oil fields and two major dams in northern Syrian territories.
France has a history of colonising Syria. After the WWI, Syria was under French occupation for two decades until the early 1940s.
