On October 2, 2020, French President Emmanuel Macron gave a speech warning of the rising threat of “Islamist separatism.” This radical political project, Macron contended, is testing the resilience of the secular French Republic and menacing “freedom of expression, freedom of conscience, and the right to blasphemy.” Two weeks later Samuel Paty, a French instructor who had shown the 2012 Charlie Hebdo cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad to his middle school students in a class on freedom of expression, was murdered by Abdullakh Anzorov, an eighteen-year-old Chechnyan Muslim refugee.

Emmanuel Macron, President of France (MGN Online)
President Emmanuel Macron has admitted that French forces ‘tortured and murdered’ Algerian freedom fighter Ali Boumendjel in Algeria’s war for independence.
Mr. Macron made the confession “in the name of France” on March 3 during a meeting with Mr. Boumendjel’s grandchildren.
Mr. Boumendjel, a nationalist and lawyer, died in 1957 after he was arrested by the French army during the battle of Algiers.
His death was covered up as ‘suicide,’ but France’s Elysee Palace confirmed in a statement that Mr. Boumendjel was “placed incommunicado, tortured, and then killed on 23 March 1957.”
