Beheading blowback | Ordinary French Muslims are afraid of police raids

A mosque in #France has expressed regret for sharing a video that is believed to have provoked the gruesome murder of a history and geography teacher. The country's interior minister has demanded that it be closed down. The teacher, #SamuelPaty, was beheaded last week after he showed his class a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed as part of a lesson on freedom of expression.
