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.

Religion ruins everything. Also here is a painting of Mohammed

Nothing to add, just thought a cock n balls would improve it, seeing as he was a pedo

seeing as he was a pedo

I'm no scholar. An example of this please?

[–] Locrin@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Islam is so touchy. Even pointing out Mohammed was a bandit and a pedophile gets them going and that is just straight facts anyone can get from reading about his life.

Religious extremists are the touchy ones. Plenty of Muslim folks who go on with their lives in peace.

I do agree that islamist extremists are the worst.

Yeah, at the most, the Muslims in my life would've said "hey I find that disrespectful can you please not" and go about their day.

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'd argue those muslims are not properly following the text of their religion.

Same for the more "tolerant" Christians, but that's not the point of this conversation.

[–] dotMonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And I'd argue you're wrong.

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You could make that argument. It would just be a baseless emotional argument disputed by facts.

Read the books man. It's all right there in the text.

[–] dotMonkey@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I have studied them for years.

You don't get to say "some Muslims are in peace". Muslims are part of a religion that is causing a lot of troubles.

When someone is part of a big organization, like the police, one does not get to say "not all of us are pigs". If they are not raising their hand and telling on the shitty people causing problems, then everyone is the problem.

[–] rambaroo@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Everyone says this bullshit until it's their group causing the problems and then all of a sudden they deserve mercy and understanding for how complex their situation is.

Most Muslims are decent people. If they weren't, the west would be in a continuous state of violence. People like you are just racist assholes looking for any excuse to justify your prejudice.

You don't get to judge an entire group by the worst members without it coming back to bite you in the ass some day.

[–] electrogamerman@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If I were part of a religion that is so extrem that is killing people and attacking members of the LGBT community, etc, I would 100% leave said religion/group. Its not really that hard to do it. A decent person wouldn't be a part of those kind of groups.

I mean... you're a citizen of a country, right?
