In front of the Bois-d'Aulne college, where Samuel Paty taught, imams gathered to pay tribute to the teacher who was murdered on Friday.
Flowers in hand, they came to meditate, and through the voice of Imam Hassen Chalghoumi, ask forgiveness from the family of the history-geography professor murdered by a young Chechen aged 18: "We ask your forgiveness, because that he was beheaded in the name of our religion, he died, and I ask forgiveness from his family, from all the people ”, launched the person in charge of the Drancy mosque.
The cleric also asked the government "to go and find Islamism where it is hiding [...] to find the people who manipulate our children". Another cleric, Bouna Diakhaby imam in Epinay-sur-Seine, demanded that imams "be trained in France and helped by the government".
