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.

    … If there were no rules you’d rape animals? Maybe you should go to church, but don’t pretend we’re all like you

      No they certainly shouldn’t go to church. The next thing they’ll be doing is beheading people for wearing the wrong color socks. They need a therapist not a preacher.

          Now now, we don’t know they’ve committed any crimes, just that they would if they weren’t superstitious.

          Besides, even (especially) inmates can benefit from a little therapy.

      No, I’m not sexually attracted to animals. But if there’s no objective morality, then what’s wrong with raping animals?

          What’s wrong with it if morality is subjective and I’m my own god?

            Who told you you were the one deciding what’s moral and what isn’t? Just because objective morality doesn’t exist, doesn’t mean morality at all doesn’t exist. Your argument is flawed from the start. But hey, you do you, if existence of god is the only thing stopping you from being a total psycho then keep on trucking buddy.

                Because “morality” comes from what you have been taught as a child, and what is acceptable in a specific society / country. Hence why Americans do shit that is considered immoral in Europe and vice versea. That’s why there are people who actually do the things you said you wanted to do in the posts above. That’s why bloodthirsty dictators exist. That’s why people who grew up in different environments have different values. What’s immoral to the Amish will be moral to a Muslim. But you, a single random person don’t get to decide “from now on we do XYZ”. XYZ needs to be accepted in society to then be taught to people further and instilled over generations.

                  So, for example, should we enforce our morality globally with human rights? Or is that white supremacism.

                    I just told you there are different moralities in different parts of the world, so then you change the subject and ask a question about something that’s not even relevant. I’m not here to entertain you, your opinions or to answer your questions.

                    Reality isn’t even objective, relativity is the rule.

                    Also, we can’t even impose a religion’s brand of morality on its own priests, why would you pretend that doing so globally would even be possible?
