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.

        Why would I brigade a conversation with someone who clearly trusts whatever is given to them without critical thought?

          Your behavior is visible Holmes, it’s not an accusation, it’s visibly obvious on certain platforms. That’s why your last account got banned. 😉

          Now fuck off.

            Seeing aberrations isn’t a good thing… I guess if everyone who disagrees with you is a bot with a bot farm, you can never be wrong?
