Absolutely astounding, so much so freedom of speech and France's precious liberté. I really am amazed as to how the person responsible thinks this is in any way a good idea. As the article says, it condemns the terrorists and teaches how muslims are the most affected by terrorism, it teaches humility and understanding-two things the French government has been promoting these last few weeks.

Let's get this straight, a mayor did this. We have no idea how the French people or the National Assembly will take this.

That being said, fuck that mayor.

The mayor has done this, but it reflects France's attitude towards anything that could be perceived or presumed to be anti-Charlie hebdo. And so far the government haven't stopped him, so we can only assume that they are okay with it and therefore support the mayor's decision

You're like the dailymail. One guy says something and you make it out as if it's belief of the whole country.

The article you linked said they were rescheduling it to be shown in 2 weeks after the mayor was shat on by French social media.

Yoi've done nothing to stop genocide in Africa, so I can only assume you're in support of it, and by extension all Brits support it.

Except i'm not a part of the British government, and i've not acted to support genocide. I know what you are saying, but at least draw comparisons correctly
