Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin vowed there would be “not a minute’s respite for enemies of the Republic”, after tens of thousands took part in rallies countrywide on Sunday to honour teacher Samuel Paty and defend freedom of expression. A photo of the teacher and a message confessing to his murder was found on the mobile phone of his killer, Abdullakh Anzorov, who arrived in France with his family from the predominantly Muslim Russian region of Chechnya more than a decade ago.The killing has drawn parallels with the 2015 massacre at Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine, where 12 people, including cartoonists, were gunned down for publishing cartoons of Mohammed.
Darmanin also ordered the closure of a mosque in the Parisian suburb of Pantin, accusing its imam of encouraging intimidation of the teacher and publicising the address of the school. “There’s a huge amount of self-censorship,” said Jean-Pierre Obin, a former inspector for the French education system. “We must fear that there will now be more.”
“It is very important to come here to show our sorrow, to show that what happened here is not Islam. It was done by thugs who have nothing to do with Islam,” said Kemadou Gassama, an imam in Paris.

Allowing the propagation of hatred under the pretext of freedom of speech. Pathetic indeed. EmmanuelMacron To the killer's uncle, the killer got recruited. Why is that like what's happening in Malaysia where children 7 to 17 are recruited by malay racists religious terrorists like those operating in Lorong IM15/38, Indera Mahkota and Kuantan to sabotage non-malays and non-muslims? So horrific.. when knowledge is minimal, ppl become easy to manipulate.
