Paty had earlier this month shown his pupils cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad in a civics class on freedom of expression, angering a number of Muslim parents. Muslims believe that any depiction of the Prophet is blasphemous.“I want to share with you my total indignation. Secularism, the backbone of the French Republic, was targetted in this vile act,” Castex said.
A week ago, one man who said his daughter was in Paty’s class recorded a video shared on social media in which he branded the teacher a thug and appealed to others to “join forces and say ‘stop, don’t touch our children’”.It was not clear whether the parent was one of those in police custody. It was also not immediately known if the attacker had seen the video.Parents of pupils laid flowers at the school gate. Some said their children were distraught.
Before that attack, Charlie Hebdo had published caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed, unleashing divisions that still cast a pall over French society. Muslim leaders condemned the killing, which many public figures perceived as an attack on the essence of French statehood and its values of secularism, freedom of worship and freedom of expression.

Reuters at least tell the truth and stop twisting the news.The 9 people are the 18 year old Chechen family members.The French police should stop acting like a racist police from a third world country. When the killer is dead than what is the meaning of arresting the whole family
Islam is love 🙄

Poor France is breaking down. Sadly ironically, France's values of freedom, fraternity, and equality will end up destroying it.

Although I disagree with this reaction method yet I strongly condemn your statement, If you write islamist sympathizer with then you must write jew sympathizer with teacher, the first who start violation is a criminal and that is teacher who teaches hate,spread hate,sold hate
They can arrest as many as they please, it won't help. This kind of inhuman religious fundamentalism has become part of the changing French culture in the big cities. Be alarmed.
