PARIS, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Six teenagers go on trial behind closed doors on Monday, accused of involvement in the beheading of French history teacher Samuel Paty by a suspected Islamist in 2020 in an attack that struck at the heart of the country’s secular values.

The teacher had shown his pupils cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad in a class on freedom of expression, angering a number of Muslim parents. Muslims believe that any depiction of the Prophet is blasphemous.

    I’d argue those muslims are not properly following the text of their religion.

    Same for the more “tolerant” Christians, but that’s not the point of this conversation.

      And I’d argue you’re wrong.

        You could make that argument. It would just be a baseless emotional argument disputed by facts.

        Read the books man. It’s all right there in the text.

          I have studied them for years.
