Catherine Nay: after the death of Samuel Paty, "a limit in abjection has been crossed"

Emmanuel Macron chaired Wednesday evening a national tribute ceremony to Professor Samuel Paty, brutally murdered by an Islamist terrorist.

A magnificent ceremony in the magical setting of the Cour de la Sorbonne.

The weather was good.

The homage, sober, only highlighted the tragedy more.

We read Jaurès' letter to teachers, which has not aged a bit.

That of Albert Camus to his teacher, when he received the Nobel Prize for literature.

"It would not be without you, without this loving hand to the poor little child that I was".

And then there was the speech of Emmanuel Macron.

And that he knows how to do.

it is moreover in these moments that France is unique.

Emmanuel Macron quoted a sentence pronounced Samuel Paty: "I would like my life and my death to be used for something"

Is it already answered?

There is a realization, because a limit in abjection has been crossed.

But since Mohamed Merah, there have been tributes and tears, sorrows, devastated families.

Charlie Hebdo, the Bataclan, the kosher grocery store, Nice, Strasbourg!

The list is long, but the emotion subsides, because it is life, while these insidious campaigns against Islamophobia, against police violence do not survive.

Médiapart has put the cover back by denouncing "the barbarism of the police who killed the murderous Chechen because he was a Muslim!"

Gérald Darmanin filed a complaint.

Seven indictments

We will see what the instigators of the professor's murder will be condemned to.

"We will continue the fight, because in France, the lights never go out," promised Emmanuel Macron.

But, question: after what happened in Conflans, will a professor still dare to evoke the cartoons of Mohammed and take the risk of being harassed on social networks, of putting his life in danger?

“We will protect you, inside and outside of school,” the president told teachers.

To arouse the critical spirit of the students, it is also necessary to show them the Charlie Hebdo cartoons showing the Pope in rude postures.

It doesn't make Catholics laugh.

But they don't kill!

Why only the Islamists come to kill?

Why so few imams defend freedom of expression.

That's what we have to explain to them!
