Charlie Hebdo
caricatures
, all over the Muslim world, demonstrations demand the boycott of French products.
Meem
strongly relayed this anti-French campaign by broadcasting images of people trampling on the portrait of Emmanuel Macron, but also by publishing explanatory videos intended to illustrate the Islamophobia of the French state.

give priority to women
", and presents itself as "
feminist
" and "
liberal
".
