Summary

In October 2020, Samuel Paty, a French teacher, was murdered following a false accusation by a 13-year-old student who claimed he’d shown anti-Muslim bias. The girl had made up the story to cover the fact she had been suspended from school for bad behaviour.

In reality, Paty’s lesson on free speech included optional viewing of Charlie Hebdo cartoons, but he hadn’t excluded anyone. The student’s story triggered a social media campaign led by her father, who, along with others, is now on trial for inciting hatred and connections to Paty’s attacker, an 18-year-old radicalized Chechen.

The school will be named the Samuel Paty School from next year.

    The existence of those lunatics doesn’t discredit Jesus Christ. Jesus didn’t claim to be a prophet- He claimed to be God Himself. Something Mohammed conveniently retconned. Mohammed and Joseph Smith seeked power and extra wives. Ellen seeks money. Jesus was crucified.

      Jesus was crucified, David koresh was shot, Joan of arc was burned at the stake, etc. Yeah, they all had different messages and interpretations. Some were martyrs, others weren’t. Some were actually sainted, others weren’t.

      But at least you’re not debating my previous point anymore, means we agree on something finally. Let’s leave it at that, shall we?
