Terrorism in France
Sadly, more people have been killed in France by terrorists . Two weeks ago a school teacher in a French middle school near Paris was murdered because he taught a lesson on freedom and religion. In his lesson he showed pictures of the Muslim prophet Mohammed that were in a satirical cartoon magazine. Muslims believe there should be no pictures or images of Mohammed. In France however, there is a strict separation between religion and the government. Magazines and individuals can mock and make fun of any religion because there is freedom of speech. After that attack the French government is now making stricter laws against terrorism and against Muslim immigrants creating a separate society in France, alongside the original French society. These laws have created a strong reaction from Muslim countries throughout the world. The president of Turkey, Erdogan, has condemned the young French president Macron, for making these laws.
Very tragically another attack has occurred today in a church in Nice, in Southern France. Three people were murdered and more were injured in a horrific terrorist attack right inside the church. This occurred just before France enters a new lockdown because of the coronavirus. What is the solution to this terrible series of events? See the articles and videos to learn more:
