jpnn.com, PARIS – La Nouvelle Republique, a regional newspaper in France, claims to have received threats on social media after publishing cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad on its front page.
On October 18, 2020, the newspaper La Nouvelle Republique published a sketch of the prophet Muhammad from Charlie Hebdo magazine that highlights threats from Islamic extremist groups following the murder of French teacher Samuel Paty last week.
Media journalist Christophe Herigault told BFM TV on Wednesday (10/21) that he had a positive reaction to the post, under the pretext of freedom of expression and democracy, but a number of other comments were threatening.
“There are four to five threats, particularly on Facebook, that make us file a court application as the only way,” Herigault said.
The murder of Samuel Paty is allegedly related to the case of the Prophet cartoon, that in Islamic belief, any image of the Prophet Muhammad is blasphemous.
Paty was beheaded during the day outside her school on the outskirts of Paris by an 18-year-old. Before the incident, he showed a cartoon of a naked man whom Prophet Muhammad called his students in class to exemplify freedom of expression. This action angered the parents of the Muslim students.
Then the police shot dead by beheading. The incident that happened to Paty was the center of attention in France, similar to the deadly attack on the offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine that took place five years ago. (ant / dil / jpnn)
