Six French teenagers convicted in connection with 2020 beheading of teacher Paty

A French court on Friday convicted six teenagers in connection with the 2020 beheading of history teacher Samuel Paty, whose murder shocked the country.

The teacher had shown his pupils caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad in a class on freedom of expression, angering some Muslim parents. Most Muslims avoid depictions of prophets, considering them to be blasphemous.

Animals, not teenagers. Throw them and their families in a hole where they belong.

drmoose,

Seriously. There isn’t a single other cult in the world at this level of insanity where kids go about bheading their teacher because of a picture. Says everything you need to know.

It’s not the cult, it’s the interpretation some maniacs make of it.

Remember how Christians “pacified” entire populations here and there in Africa and the whole american continent. Doesn’t look good either 😏

Hobbes,

The only difference between a cult and a religion is number of followers.

So that validates anybody from a cult or a religion killing another person ? I don’t get your point.

Hobbes,

Ah I just misread your comment as "it’s not a cult.

Iapar,

Is it? I thought the difference is being protected by law.

The way you got to that elaborated answer got me stunned.

firewyre,

No, it’s the fucking cult.

Strong argumentation.

The heaviest sentence was given to an adolescent who was formally given a 6-month prison sentence, although he should be able to serve this at home while under electronic surveillance.

Grounded.

Makes sense.

After all, all they did was make it easier to decapitate someone.

steven,

The court found those adolescents as guilty of having pointed out Paty to the murderer.

Pretty wild to go to jail for 6 months for telling someone about your teacher that is showing photos of the prophet. Should everyone who retweeted the Charlie Hebdo cartoon also be charged with complicity them?
