(Malta Today) The imam of the Paola mosque, Mohammed El Sadi, has once again called for the criminalisation of blasphemy and the mocking of faiths, in a reaction to the fanatical murder of a French teacher who displayed the notorious Charlie Hebdo cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad in his class.
“We always condemn killing people because of their convictions irrespective of the identity of the perpetrators or their own justifications for their wrong doing … There is no legal justification for such criminal act,” El Sadi said, saying all Muslims in Europe had to be law-abiding citizens.
The murder of Samuel Paty, a French middle-school teacher, took place on 16 October 2020 in a Paris suburb, where he was killed by Abdoullakh Anzorov, an 18-year-old Muslim refugee of Chechen descent, and then beheaded.
