Why are Middle East countries calling for a boycott of French products?

Middle East countries are boycotting French goods after French President Emmanuel Macron said, "Islam is a religion that's in crisis all over the world", and vowed not to "give up cartoons" depicting Prophet Muhammad. Macron's comments came after the beheading of a teacher for showing cartoons of Prophet Muhammad during a class. Caricatures of Prophet Muhammad are forbidden in Islam.
