Newspapers legitimizing this violence: Macron rips into reports labelling France as islamophobic

French President Emmanuel Macron reacted sharply to the reports calling France islamophobic after the government's actions following the terrorist attacks in the country. "When I see them legitimizing this violence and saying that the heart of the problem is that France is racist and Islamophobic, then I say the founding principles have been lost," Macron said while referring to the newspaper reports.
