Beheaded teacher Paty will get France's highest honour - minister

[Narratio]

The original post is still referring to a "suspected Islamicist".  While I understand that impartiality has to be at the forefront of news gathering and you should not make claims without proof... I'd have have thought that cutting a guys head off while ranting about the victim insulting Islam would be pretty solid evidence?

funny that the stabbing of two Muslim women didn't make the news here, probably because it was white women stabbing "dirty Arabs" (their exclamation at the time of incident) - not surprising though..

They should honor him by plastering the cartoons everywhere

They could honor him - and his legacy- by hanging a portrait of Samuel PATY in every classroom in France - there where it used to be a crucifix - for teaching critical thinking and free speech,

You shouldn't need to be Légion d'honneur material for teaching critical thinking.

to be relevant you need to complete your statement with elements of context that led to the fatwa in a non muslim country where Education and Democracy should'nd result in giving jam to pigs (french proverb)

Macron is talking the talk at the moment- let's see if he can walk the walk.

If this is the final straw that initiated some real initiative to rid France of the scourge of religious terrorism, the poor victim will not have died for nothing, IMO.

France is screwed for colonial reasons, my sister and her friend went there many years ago, and were harrassed by N. Africans for a lot of the time. Culture clash, as they say. Two young naive Western girls and they were salivating.

Samuel Paty was killed because he embodied the Republic

“We will continue the fight for freedom of which Samuel Paty is the face,”

They're trying to send a message. But, like, if you have to deserve a

Légion d'honneur to criticise Islam, what message is that sending.

Absolutely right. I'd hope to hear same remark in the media.

As a tribute to the beheaded professor Samuel Paty, the Charlie Hebdo cartoons were projected on official buildings in Toulouse and Montpellier

In France we don't submit to obscurantism;

Islamophobia is the new blasphemy law.

I've not been chear enough, "ensauvegement" isn't about downplaying troubles, it's how we sum up in a world how these low lives impact and disrupt our western societies/democracies : going wild / violent, like

like in underdeveloped overpopulated poor countries

it's a problem for me not to be able to edit my post .. i mean "word" and not "world"
