France
is experiencing moments of great tension.
Beyond the crisis due to the
coronavirus

cartoons of Muhammad

of the Sorbonne University
and was against any ideological revenge.
"Killed because
Islamists want our future
and know that with quiet heroes like him, they will never achieve it." A quiet hero "who" loved books "which speaks of his" passion for knowledge "and his" taste for freedom ", and that he followed the path of his parents, both teachers." Firmness coupled with tenderness, "said Macron in his elegy for Samuel Paty," which has become the image of the Republic. "
We will continue "
the fight for freedom
."
"We will continue, professor. We will defend the freedom that you taught so well and secularism. We will not renounce cartoons, drawings, even if others recourse", promised Macron in memory of the victim "of a disastrous conspiracy, of the amalgamation, and of the hatred of the other ".

bear the consequences,
" he wrote on Twitter
The sheikh later added: "There are other western countries that should be boycotted.
We will not forget bad movies or cartoons
."
