Six teenagers in court over beheading of French teacher
Six teenagers go on trial behind closed doors on Monday, accused of involvement in the beheading of French history teacher Samuel Paty by a suspected Islamist in 2020 in an attack that struck at the heart of the country's secular values.
PARIS, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Six teenagers go on trial behind closed doors on Monday, accused of involvement in the beheading of French history teacher Samuel Paty by a suspected Islamist in 2020 in an attack that struck at the heart of the country's secular values.
The teacher had shown his pupils cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad in a class on freedom of expression, angering a number of Muslim parents. Muslims believe that any depiction of the Prophet is blasphemous.
You're viewing a single thread.
Maybe these people would be happier moving to a country where their religion is forced down from the government? Maybe go there?
You’re incompatible with western society so change or get the fuck out.
And before anyone jumps down my throat I’m speaking specifically of those who don’t accept that things like freedom of speech includes things they don’t like.
They are here to expand their religion, not for escaping their country or freedom of speech. They are using freedom of speech to make themselves a victim while expanding their religion in the back.
freedom of speech includes blatant disrespect of a religion you're not a part of, got it
Yes, 100%.
I really can't tell if you're being serious. Just in case...
The prophet Muhammad was a real piece of shit etc etc etc.
See? I'm allowed to do that. Thankfully I live somewhere I don't have to be in fear of saying things like that.
religion is a choice and that choice is killing people its ok to be disrespectful to public practicers of religion.
we should be laughing in their faces and mocking them because its embarassing
The part of that that breaks down is that one group's interpretation of it being okay to kill people isn't necessarily another person's religious practice. Mocking the latter is like treating everyone who eats bacon like a psychopath who enjoys slaughtering animals.
And religion isn't always a choice for everyone. It should be, but isn't always.
religion is a choice for everyone no exceptions. treating someone eating bacon as a psychopath slaughtering animals isnt the same as bacon and animals are real, and the connection between the two can be studied. religious folk choose to believe something fake that cannot be studied or proved and people die for it. wars are fought over this fake garbage. meat doesnt cause wars (because the vegans are lacking the essential nutrients to fight back lol)
also i eat meat and you can call me a psychopath if you want. youre not entirely wrong officially the meat industry is terrible i just dont see me boycotting it causing a tangible change, and i like meat.
edit its important to add, anyone practicing religion gives the people that use religion to kill a platform and sets a precedent that its ok by not ostracizing them. christians like when people they don't like are murdered. put any religion in place of christian it still works.
To be fair, i think they meant no choice, as in being born into it, especially in some countries.
Yep.
You can't have freedom of speech without the freedom to offend. They go hand in hand.
Whatever your religion is buddy it can choke on all of my cock
