yeah, i think actually president erdogan in particular has not helped. i mean, he has agitated muslim sentiments against france and against president macron deliberately, i think, for purposes that have to do with domestic turkish politics. i mean, turkey itself has been a victim of this movement and will not tolerate this movement. it has cracked down very hard on it. but for the turks and for president erdogan in particular to be playing with muslim sentiments on issues of blasphemy and so on is really playing with fire. and he should not be doing that. could i just jump in very quickly? i don't know if you could put it succinctly for us, france secularism and religion. what do we need to know? well, what we need to know is that if you insult islam as a religion in france, you will be prosecuted. brigitte bardot, the famous french actress, was prosecuted five time for insulting islam. but in france, they have a view that religious... historical figures can be insulted in caricature and that is not an attack on the religion. so, there's a particular spe
