Teacher beheaded in France after showing Mohammed cartoons

The Hindu  

October 17, 2020 08:52 am | Updated 08:52 am IST - Paris French teacher who had recently shown students cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed was beheaded outside his school on Friday, in what President Emmanuel Macron called an “Islamist terrorist attack”. A parent of a pupil at the school said the teacher might have stirred “controversy” by asking Muslim pupils to leave the room before showing the cartoons. The teacher “simply said to the Muslim children: ‘Leave, I don't want it to hurt your feelings.’ That's what my son told me,” the parent said. MPs stood as Mr. Renson said that “in the name of all of us, I want to honour the memory of the victim.” Education Minister Jean-Michel Blanquer tweeted: “The Republic is under attack.” The killing comes as security forces have been on high alert during the ongoing trial of suspected accomplices of the attackers in the January 2015 terror attacks in Paris, which also saw a policeperson gunned down in the street.
