Filled with hatred, Abdoullakh A. * († 18) drove to school in the Paris suburb of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine with a knife on October 16, 2020. The Islamist targets history teacher Samuel Paty († 47). On a side street, he overpowers the 47-year-old man and kills him. Then he cuts off his head. While on the run, the 18-year-old was shot by police.
The bloody act was set in motion by reports from a schoolgirl (13). She had told her father that the history teacher had shown cartoons of Muhammad on the subject of free speech. Including the cartoon from the satirical newspaper “Charlie Hebdo”. Paty reportedly asked all Muslim students to leave the class before showing the cartoons.
The parent should not know about school problems.
The 13-year-old girl’s father, an Islamist preacher, was upset about it. In his anger, he posted indignant posts on social media, complained to the school’s management, and mobilized against the teacher. A chain reaction of hatred started. With fatal consequences for the history teacher.
And now it comes to light: it was all a lie. The 13-year-old was not even in school when Paty showed the cartoons. That day he was on sick leave. But her father shouldn’t know anything about it. Not even that he had problems at school. Then the student lied, explained the family lawyer, as reported by “Le Parisien”. He wanted to please his father and with his story about the “bad” history teacher he misled him about his own mistakes.
The teenager was charged with defamation. His father should also be held accountable. You have to answer for complicity in the murder. The preacher massively harassed the history teacher and spread hatred.
New law passed
After the murder of Samuel Paty, among other things, hate calls on the Internet will be punished more severely. In addition, the government wants to limit the influence of Turkey and other countries in French mosques.
The bill “to strengthen the principles of the republic” was approved in February 2020 with a clear majority. It should allow mosques or religious associations to close even faster if hatred and violence are preached there.
Tensions between France and Turkey
The law also provides for up to three years in prison and a fine equivalent to 50,000 francs for anyone “endangering the life of another person by disseminating information about their private and family life or about their work.
Presenting the plans in October 2020, President Emmanuel Macron (43) testified that Islam has a “problem” with radical currents. This led to protests, some of which were violent, in Muslim countries. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan (67) personally attacked Macron. (jmh / AFP)
