Stir in France over Muhammad's cartoon; Macron says violence unacceptable

Paris: France and Turkey are face to face after the murder of teacher Samuel Paty over a cartoon of Prophet Mohammed in France. The French President is raising the flag of freedom of expression and the Ottoman President of Islam. Anyone can take this form later.

Freedom of expression:

In a school in a Paris suburb, Samuel Paty showed the eighth grade students a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammad in a class with freedom of expression. He did, however, send Muslim students out of the classroom before doing so. Pati's motive behind showing the cartoon was to discuss freedom of expression in France. He was later beheaded by a Chechen refugee out of school. This Chechen refugee was also killed in police action.
