Yvonne Kussmann wrote that the French teacher Samuel Paty was murdered on October 16, 2020, in the Paris suburb of Conflans-Sainte-Honorine by an 18-year-old Chechen. The 47-year-old regularly addressed Mohammed cartoons from Charlie Hebdo in class regarding freedom of speech. A Muslim student, who according to Kussmann was not present during the relevant class, felt offended in her religion and told her father about it. According to Kussmann, the father urged Muslims to take action against Paty and spread a video about him. An Islamist who was already known to the police in France supported the call. The later perpetrator, Abdullah Ansorov, learned about the incident through the video, asked students about Paty's habits, and offered money for information. On October 16, he confronted Paty on his way home and beheaded him with a 35-centimeter-long knife; shortly thereafter, he was shot by the police. Kussmann regarded the case as a sign of the advanced influence of Islam in European schools. She also wrote that Paty had been reported for distributing pornographic materials to minors and had in turn filed a complaint for defamation. The reaction from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sparked outrage: he had not commented for 14 days and then stated that freedom of expression is not limitless and should not harm anyone. #SamuelPaty #Meinungsfreiheit #Islam2020 (translated)
