Summary

In October 2020, Samuel Paty, a French teacher, was murdered following a false accusation by a 13-year-old student who claimed he’d shown anti-Muslim bias. The girl had made up the story to cover the fact she had been suspended from school for bad behaviour.

In reality, Paty’s lesson on free speech included optional viewing of Charlie Hebdo cartoons, but he hadn’t excluded anyone. The student’s story triggered a social media campaign led by her father, who, along with others, is now on trial for inciting hatred and connections to Paty’s attacker, an 18-year-old radicalized Chechen.

The school will be named the Samuel Paty School from next year.

    They’ve all taken the Torah that Moses dreamt up and made their own version with hookers and blackjack. You can spin it however you want, but it’s true. The fact that it’s not copied word for word doesn’t change the fact that it’s the same foundation.

    The Egyptians and the Mesopotamians/Babylonians influenced the Canaanite religion, then that evolved into Judaism, then that splintered into Judaism and Christianity and then came Mohammed who was like “yep, those guys and those books came from God! And I am the last prophet of God!”

    Then we got a bunch of other prophets like Joseph Smith, Nostradamus, David Koresh, Jim Jones, Ellen White, etc. So… Yeah.

    Also, I guess this is an example of how different people interpret these books. To me, 5:2 seems to speak against word vomit, which is what I was implying you’re doing in this thread and others.

      The existence of those lunatics doesn’t discredit Jesus Christ. Jesus didn’t claim to be a prophet- He claimed to be God Himself. Something Mohammed conveniently retconned. Mohammed and Joseph Smith seeked power and extra wives. Ellen seeks money. Jesus was crucified.

        Jesus was crucified, David koresh was shot, Joan of arc was burned at the stake, etc. Yeah, they all had different messages and interpretations. Some were martyrs, others weren’t. Some were actually sainted, others weren’t.

        But at least you’re not debating my previous point anymore, means we agree on something finally. Let’s leave it at that, shall we?
