The killing of French teacher who reportedly showed his pupils cartoon of Prophet(PBUH) justifiable?

There is an Arabic proverb that says " If the vice comes out from the people of the vice, it is not considered a vice".


A short and understandable, patience, tolerate blogs for our audiences to follow the atrocities in future against Islam must considered in peaceful and forgiveness manner.

There is nothing can justify the murder of the teacher. It was a reckless and impulsive act.

When Quraysh Tribe rejected his message and showed stubbornness and enmity, the prophet (PBUH) decided to go to Taif hoping that people there would be more considerate, but things were worse. The people of Taif received him with mockery, insults, and stones. He left the town frustrated and wounded. While he was cleaning the blood off his face, he was repeatedly saying, "O Allah! Forgive my nation, for they do not know."

This is how the prophet responded to hatred, insults, and mockery.


Our prophet (PBUH) is our role model of course. We should follow his instructions in every part of our life. we should not rash to react for the least reason. There is an Arabic proverb that says " If the vice comes out from the people of the vice, it is not considered a vice". The teacher's hatred of Islam was eating him from inside. His role as a teacher is to disseminate knowledge, coexistence, and respect, not enmity and hatred. He should be an example to his students. Instead he was searching for troubles.

(6:68) And when you see those who engage in [offensive] discourse concerning Our verses, then turn away from them until they enter into another conversation. And if Satan should cause you to forget, then do not remain after the reminder with the wrongdoing people.

The best way for Muslims to respond to such hostile behaviours is to ignore them. The verse above states that Muslims should turn away from those they offend the Islamic precepts, and not to insult back. They have to be like their prophet in his ethic, patience, and regal composure. The hasty reactions can put many Muslims in danger, and give room to the hatemongers to express their hatred blatantly. The immature France president is an example. He said after the incident that France’s battle against Islamic terrorism is “existential”.


On Friday, Samuel Paty (pictured) was gruesomely beheaded by a man named Abdoulakh A.


Why?

Samuel was a history and geography teacher at the French College du Bois d'Aulne. During a discussion about freedom of speech and Charlie Hebdo, he showed his class the controversial cartoons after warning Muslim students that they could look away or leave the class if they felt they might be offended.


Note the academic setting and even the consideration for Muslim students.


What did Abdoulakh have to do with the college? Nothing. He was not a student there, did not know Samuel and did not even live in the area. He came from his place of residence a hundred kilometres away, needed the help of students to identify Samuel and murdered him. In all probability, he had not even seen the images.


And yet, he found it necessary to seek out and murder Samuel and got himself killed in a shootout with the Police later. That is terrifying.
