France Terror Attack: Rally to Support Teacher, Free Speech

Thousands of people gather in Paris, France, Sunday, October 18, to pay homage to the teacher decapitated for showing cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed to his pupils.

France saw countrywide rallies defending free speech and secularism over the weekend, while the government discussed a stronger response to Islamist extremism following the brutal killing of a French schoolteacher last week.

Masks firmly on, per the capital’s coronavirus rules, tens of thousands assembled at the Place de la Republique in Paris and several other major cities following Friday’s beheading of middle school history teacher Samuel Paty. Some waved French flags and brandished banners celebrating free expression, as speakers paid a somber tribute to the country’s latest victim of terrorism.

A national commemoration takes place Wednesday in honor of Paty, who died in the Paris suburb of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine.

In some ways, the outpouring of shock and grief is a repeat of nearly six years ago, when millions of pencil-brandishing protesters defended free expression, following the terrorist attacks targeting the offices of the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine.

But despite calls of national unity after this second terrorist attack in less than a month, the moment is also being marked by division and criticism over the government’s response to radical Islam.

It also comes amid—and is partly shaped by— the country’s very different battle against another crisis, the coronavirus pandemic.

If youre in someone else's country you have to adapt to their culture and traditions you don't have to practice them but at least respect them Christians don't go round chopping heads off in Saudi Arabia or turkey because he showed a picture of jesus christ in a class that is the result of mass immigration in France and anywhere else #endplankalergi

RIP to the teacher. What a terrible religion. Killing someone just for a drawing. You can't get anymore disgraceful than that.

Honest question: Why is it considered not okay to make or show a drawing of "Mohammed, " but it is okay to name ones child "Mohammed?"

5. 2 police men stabbed

Hmm. I wonder what's common in this.

The prophet (peace be upon him) was attacked, insulted and wronged when he was alive, so what did he do to these people who treated him like that?? He prayed for them! Yes HE PRAYED FOR THEM! He is a MERCY for the mankind. Please read his biography before acting! And always ask yourself a question: what would the prophet do if he was alive???

Free speach doesn't mean you have the right to offend other's religion. Especially when you're a teacher who should be teaching about how to respect diversity. Murder is a crime and in this case not terorism.
