In another FB post, Naik attacked the French president Emmanuel Macron for his controversial remark over Islamophobia. "The endorsement of offensive speech does nothing to advance freedom of expression. A right to offend does not imply a duty to offend," his post reads.

Naik's threatening posts come in the backdrop of  Macron's remark over Islam following a teacher was beheaded in Paris for showing a caricature of Prophet Mohammad to his students. Since then, Macron is facing massive outrage from the leaders of Islamic countries. 

On Thursday, former Prime Minister of Malaysia Mahathir Mohamad justified a terror attack at a church in the French city of Nice. Mahathir said that 'Muslims have a right to be angry and to kill millions of French people'. Later, his Twitter removed the controversial tweet.
