I am hearing really scary things in the wake of the beheading of that teacher. Is Macron starting an all out persecution campaign against Muslims?
I'd especially appreciate input by French chapos.

none of these comment posts, nor my context links out of my own bio ever actually link to the comment here, it's gotta be some kind of bug. it always just takes me to the top of the whole post.
that said, i think antm17 is missing a lot of the nuance. he's over simplifying the situation, but still has a point in that you shouldn't get your head cut off for literally doing your job, that job is as a teacher in literally a class about freedom of speech.
Paty taught a moral and civic education course in early October 2020 on freedom of expression, in accord with the French national curriculum.During his class he showed some of his teenage students a caricature of Muhammad from the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo during a class discussion about freedom of speech. Before showing the caricature, Paty had invited Muslim students to leave the classroom if they wished. According to one student, he had previously shown these cartoons as part of the discussion every year since the Charlie Hebdo shooting in 2015. For many Muslims, any depiction of Muhammad is blasphemous.
yes, rather tasteless, also quite relevant to the topic, especially considering the local relevance.

at that point it becomes a much larger conversation about what makes up a religion, how willing you are to adhere to rules of said religion, especially as a non adherent, who gets to make up rules of a religion, etc.
if you're trying to force me to adhere to a religion, i would say that you can fuck right off yourself.
i personally am not for blatantly trying to be bigoted and going about anything that would put someone in a position where they feel they are being blasphemous, but when you have a fucking rule in your religion that puts its adherents to the point where they are forced to murder over cartoons, i think that personally is a shitty fucking stupid fucking rule.
