The teacher was not fighting against any Muslim. All that he was doing was belittling or insulting Islam. In which case, the following verses apply:And fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not commit aggression; God does not love the aggressors. (Quran 2:190)
As stated above, Islam does not allow Muslims to start a fight and can fight only in self-defence. And Muslims must not do anything to anyone who simply insults Islam (no physical attack). Muslims should simply leave them aloneAnd when you see those who engage in [offensive] discourse concerning Our verses, then turn away from them until they enter into another conversation. And if Satan should cause you to forget, then do not remain after the reminder with the wrongdoing people. (Quran 6:68)
And it has already come down to you in the Book that when you hear the verses of Allah [recited], they are denied and ridiculed; so do not sit with them until they enter into another conversation. Indeed, you would then be like them. Indeed Allah will gather the hypocrites and disbelievers in Hell all together (Quran 4:140)
There go Rafales out the window.
BAF will use this as a new excuse for not buying fighter jets.

As Muslims across the world protest and broaden their calls for a boycott of French products over comments by President Emmanual Macron about Islam and depictions of the Prophet Muhammad, hashtags with a different message are trending in Hindu-majority India.
#IStandWithFrance and #WeStandWithFrance were among the top trends on Indian Twitter on Monday and Tuesday, with thousands of Indian users expressing their solidarity with France.

Macron has sparked outrage across the Muslim world by accusing French Muslims of “separatism” and describing Islam as “a religion in crisis all over the world”.
The matter escalated after Macron said his country would not “renounce the caricatures” of Prophet Muhammad in the wake of the killing of a French teacher who showed them to his class.
That led to outrage in the Muslim world, with protesters in several Muslim-majority nations, including Turkey, Pakistan and Bangladesh, calling for a boycott of French goods and demanding the expulsion of the French ambassadors to their capitals.
However, in India, where critics say anti-Muslim sentiments have intensified since the right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) came to power in 2014, many rallied behind the French leader.
“Tolerance should be secular too. #IStandWithFrance. Well done French President,” tweeted Parvesh Sahib Singh, a BJP member of parliament.
Earlier this year, India received five French-made Rafale fighter jets, the first batch of a controversial $9.4bn deal with France signed in 2016.
Other hashtags related to Macron’s remarks that trended on Indian Twitter on Tuesday included #WellDoneMacron and #MacronTHEHERO.
Anti-Muslim sentiments in India
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government has been accused of pursuing anti-Muslim policies, with a controversial citizenship law that excludes the community being the most recent.
The Indian government defends the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), saying it aims to protect persecuted minorities in neighbouring Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.
Protests over the law earlier this year led to the worst religious violence in New Delhi in decades, killing dozens of people, most of them Muslims, and displacing thousands.
Many Muslims have been charged under a stringent anti-terror law following the Delhi violence, jailed and denied bail.
Last week, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet’s office pointed to three “problematic” Indian laws – including the CAA – that have led to the arrest of activists.
Since 2014, dozens of Muslims have also been lynched by Hindu mobs over suspicions of slaughtering cows, considered sacred by many Hindus.
Rights groups have criticised India for a slow rate of conviction in cases of hate crimes against Muslims.

If they hate Muslims so much, then why do Bhartiya folks flock to the Middle East for Bhikhari worse-than-slavery Nokri and the occasional thrashing that come with it??
OK. Mr Frenchman...None of the French concern these orange beards are on the street screaming.![]()

A French magazine published insulting images of the Prophet Mohammed, some years ago.
In France, this is a right protected by law, but it is also more than that. It is a right that thousands of French have fought and died for. Many were tortured to death, by the Christian Church or the Nazis, when they fought for free speech through the centuries.
The right to be insulting is as sacred to the French, as the Prophet is to Muslims. It is a central part of their identity; it defines what France is.
And only a few days ago, someone in France killed someone who had displayed these images for educational purposes, in a discussion about free speech. Now, Erdogan has demanded that the French stop being French, so that they can accommodate people who are enemies of free speech. He has, in effect, demanded that free speech in France should only be allowed for Muslims. Everyone else must keep quiet on certain topics.
He demands that Turkish law is applied in France, instead of French law. Naturally, the French—Christian, Muslim, Jewish or atheist—are enraged at this. It is a studied insult, and a violent attack on everything that France is.
A few weeks ago, the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul was re-consecrated as a Muslim mosque. Now, imagine that a small group of French living in Turkey had occupied the mosque, killed the imam, and proceeded to wipe their bottoms with pages from the Quran. And imagine that the French President Macron had demanded an apology from Turkey. That’s how bad this is.
Yes, the infamous cartoons are certainly insulting, in bad taste, sacrilegious, and an affront to decent discourse. (And ugly, actually.) And yet, not only the French, but all Europeans defend them—because allowing them to be published is what we are. If we are to have a free society, we must allow also the gross, insulting, and enraging. Much worse insults to Christianity are published daily.
Some people get enraged, but it is still allowed to happen, because our laws do not care about our precious feelings, or anyone else’s. I have myself, long ago, pulled on a uniform and declared my willingness to die for your right to say things I find distasteful. I was willing to die for your right to insult me. You cannot understand Europe unless you understand this.
If your hatred of a free society is so intense that you cannot tolerate living in it, if your faith is so weak and fragile that you cannot tolerate to have it questioned, then leave, because you are free to leave—or stay and complain, because you are free to complain as much as you like, as long as all you use are words.
You can even start a political party to stop free speech. Just don’t expect to get many votes.
Their 'right to offend' do not include Jews and holocaust. I suspect it also does not include their national symbols and persona with which they are deeply attached emotionally. Do France allow insult of Free French resistance heroes? Do France's ''right to offend'' include praising Nazi occupation of France? I am not sure about these. Someone should clarify with proper evidence.
French do not mind insulting other's religious believe or their own as they have undergone centuries of liberal education and secularization process. Expecting the same from immigrants who hail from deeply religious society is absurd. A certain degree of lack of understanding and not seeing things from the Muslim immigrant's point of view is apparent among the ''enlightened'' French. They expect, as soon as any immigrant touch the French soil, they should abandon all of their identity and automatically acquire 'French values'. French do not understand, most Muslims love their prophet and religion more than anything else in the world. If you insult and use obscene language against the Father/mother of 1000 French man, chances are there that 1 or 2 of them may lost their cool and attack you physically. Most Muslims love their prophet more than their parents. To understand Muslim psyche you have to keep this thing in mind.
Secularization is a long term process. France itself acquired it through hundreds of years of trial and error. After the French revolution in 1789, secular republic were overthrown more than once by the religious traditionalist/monarchists. This is why current France is Fifth republic.
Of course Muslims need to be reflective and see things from the opposite angle. But what I find absurd is that they expect Muslim immigrants(less educated, poorer, and comes from traditional societies in opposed to highly secular and claimant of 'enlightened' French) to be rational when they themselves are not. They are just as jealous as hardline Muslims when it comes to protect their ''values''. Isn't it arrogance? Like saying your Islamic values are negotiable but not ours. You Muslims should react in a same way like us when you face insulting caricature of your religion. From Muslim point of views why this should be acceptable? Should not the path of tolerance and acceptance be a two way street? If they can not accept Muslim customs, sensitivities and values, why they accept Muslims immigrants in a first place? Or do not prohibit conversion to Islam within France?Agreed, however personally Muslims or whoever need to stay calm when an irrelevant magazine makes belittling posts about anything. It is not productive or healthy to get offended at everything in the world. If not possible, they should at least engage in constructive criticism of the French versions of freedom of speech and secularism (laicite) as has been done by people of Anglo-Canada in regards to Quebec's policies (which has a similar socio-economic and political culture as France). Mindless protests do not change people's minds, and arguments are never won in such a manner. As Bluesky indicated in a post a couple days ago, it is also islamically recommended to just stay away from these insulting sources, and especially not engage in violence. Having said that, criticism of Macron's tactics to use the villainisation of Muslims to garner support among right-wing voters just shows his desperation in face of political weakness. Criticism of Macron himself is justified, and repercussions in France, and external relations/impressions of France are being felt which is also deserved. Overall, the post 9/11 environment and radicalisation of Muslims have given normal people of Muslim background a bad name throughout the world. It is not a positive outcome, and these recent acts of violence do not help improving that image, nor do unnecessary protests which are more words than action. People living in their home countries may not know, but there is growing animosity of Muslims and Islam in the West and the non-Muslim world everyday. Muslim-majority countries around the world need to develop human capital so that their current negative reputation is one day shed.
Their 'right to offend' do not include Jews and holocaust. I suspect it also does not include their national symbols and persona with which they are deeply attached emotionally. Do France allow insult of Free France resistance heroes? Do France's ''right to offend'' include praising Nazi occupation of France? I am not sure about these. Someone should clarify with proper evidence.
