Teacher decapitated near Paris after allegedly showing Muhammed caricatures
CBS ^ | OCTOBER 16, 2020

Posted on 10/16/2020 12:25:47 PM PDT by SJackson

A history teacher who had allegedly shown caricatures of the Prophet Muhammed in class was decapitated and his assailant shot dead by French police as they tried to arrest him on Friday, police and prosecutors said. French anti-terror prosecutors said they were investigating the assault which happened on the outskirts of Paris at around 5:00 pm local time near a school in Conflans Saint-Honorine, a western suburb of the French capital.

Le Parisien and Reuters reported the teacher recently gave a class on freedom of expression and showed cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad, which are considered by Muslims to be blasphemous.

CBS News' Elaine Cobbe reports that a Twitter thread posted on October 9 contained allegations that a history teacher in Conflans Sainte-Honorine had shown students the cartoons depicting Muhammad. The thread contained a video of a man who said his daughter, a Muslim, was one of the pupils in the class, and that she was shocked by the teacher's actions. There is no indication the man in the video is connected to the teacher's death.

Prosecutors said they were treating the incident as "a murder linked to a terrorist organization" and related to a "criminal association with terrorists."

I’m sure this is just a coincidence because we everybody knows violence doesn’t exist in Islam. I mean name one example of Muslim violence.

mohammed was a slaver, goat humper, pedophile, plagiarist, and genocidal maniac.

The “history teacher” should have known better, that Islam does not take kindly to any insults of its founder. Never has, never will.

This teacher can fairly be called reckless. But I prefer to call him brave. He stood up for free speech and for free expression. And he died for it.

I know it won’t happen. But the President of France should award this teacher the Legion of Honor. It would send a message - the right message.

They must think that it is less scary if the beheading is being carried out by a terrorist group than if it was just a concerned Muslim parent.

Did they decapitate the goat, too, just to be on the safe side?

Islamist violence in France has so far claimed more than 250 lives (that are known).......and this will never stop now that they've opened the doors wide for the Islamification of France.

Imagine if this had been a Christian. Democrats in America would be filling the streets calling for the destruction off the Catholic Church. But since this is Islam, they are incredibly silent.
