https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/france-deeply-shocked-pakistan-minister-compares-macron-nazis-n1248543France denounced a tweet by Pakistan's human rights minister on Saturday, which compared President Emmanuel Macron's treatment of Muslims to the way Jews were treated by Nazis in World War II.
As tensions continue to simmer between the European nation and the Islamic world, Shireen Mazari, a former journalist and an active member of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s team, wrote that "Macron is doing to Muslims what the Nazis did to the Jews."
She added: "Muslim children will get ID numbers (other children won't) just as Jews were forced to wear the yellow star on their clothing for identification."
Underneath her post, she shared an article which claimed Muslim children would be singled out by a new French bill that would give them an identification number to ensure they are attending school, part of the country's wide-ranging effort to prevent radicalization of young people. The legislation was proposed because some families do not send their children to school in France.
If introduced however, the bill would apply to all French children.
