A French court on Friday convicted six teenagers in connection with the 2020 beheading of history teacher Samuel Paty, whose murder shocked the country.

The teacher had shown his pupils caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad in a class on freedom of expression, angering some Muslim parents. Most Muslims avoid depictions of prophets, considering them to be blasphemous.

The heaviest sentence was given to an adolescent who was formally given a 6-month prison sentence, although he should be able to serve this at home while under electronic surveillance.

Grounded.

Makes sense.

After all, all they did was make it easier to decapitate someone.

The court found those adolescents as guilty of having pointed out Paty to the murderer.

Pretty wild to go to jail for 6 months for telling someone about your teacher that is showing photos of the prophet. Should everyone who retweeted the Charlie Hebdo cartoon also be charged with complicity them?

Seriously. There isn't a single other cult in the world at this level of insanity where kids go about bheading their teacher because of a picture. Says everything you need to know.

It's not the cult, it's the interpretation some maniacs make of it.

Remember how Christians "pacified" entire populations here and there in Africa and the whole american continent. Doesn't look good either 😏

The only difference between a cult and a religion is number of followers.

[–] Tiritibambix@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So that validates anybody from a cult or a religion killing another person ? I don't get your point.

[–] Hobbes@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Ah I just misread your comment as "it's not a cult.

[–] Iapar@feddit.de 2 points 11 months ago

Is it? I thought the difference is being protected by law.

The way you got to that elaborated answer got me stunned.

[–] firewyre@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, it's the fucking cult.

[–] Tiritibambix@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Strong argumentation.

Animals, not teenagers. Throw them and their families in a hole, where they belong.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


PARIS, Dec 8 (Reuters) - A French court on Friday convicted six teenagers in connection with the 2020 beheading of history teacher Samuel Paty, whose murder shocked the country.

Among those on trial was a teenage girl who had allegedly told her parents that Paty had asked Muslim pupils to leave the room before showing the caricatures.

The other adolescents were found guilty of charges related to taking part in a pre-meditated criminal conspiracy and helping to prepare an ambush.

Louis Cailliez, lawyer for Paty's sister Mickaelle, told reporters his client was "satisfied with the full conviction", but less so with the sentences, that she found "too lenient".

The girl who was found guilty of making false accusations and slanderous comments was given an 18-month suspended sentence and put on probation measures for two years.

Another trial in connection with Paty's killing, involving adults this time, is set to take place at the end of next year.

What the actual fuck, these "kids" should have been put down not given house arrest.
