Today is the sixth anniversary of the murder of Samuel Paty, the history and geography teacher who was beheaded by an Islamist near his school in Conflates-Sainte-Honorine, outside of Paris. He had shown students the Charlie Hebdo cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad during a lesson on freedom of expression, in which he emphasised that students could choose not to look at the cartoons if they were offended. In the UK, the Batley Grammar school teacher is still in hiding due to threats to his life after he too showed students cartoons of Muhammad in a lesson about freedom of speech. The Labour government's Islamophobia definition will make it even harder to talk about the brutal murder of Samuel Paty. At the Free Speech Union there has been a four fold increase in cases where people have been penalised for criticising Islam. To help the fight against Islamic blasphemy laws, join the Free Speech Union or donate to our crowdfunders which are dedicated to stopping the Islamophobia definition taking hold and for helping people who get into trouble for criticising Islam - link below. We stand in solidarity with Mr Paty's family and his colleagues and all those who continue to risk their lives by challenging sacred values and encouraging others to think critically about them.
