Someone in France doesn’t want it publicly recognized that Samuel Paty was a victim of jihad violence. The perpetrator of the vandalism could be a Muslim, but could also be a non-Muslim Leftist.
La plaque nommant le square jouxtant la Sorbonne en hommage à Samuel Paty a été vandalisée et signe l'aveuglement volontaire de certains. C'est bien le terrorisme ISLAMISTE dont a été victime #SamuelPaty. J'espère que la plaque sera restaurée rapidement ! cc @Mairie5Paris pic.twitter.com/0WLF7OwcoS

“Paris: Samuel Paty Square plaque vandalized two months after its inauguration,” translated from “Paris : la plaque du square Samuel Paty vandalisée deux mois après son inauguration,” Valeurs Actuelles, December 21, 2021:
Two months ago, one year to the day after the beheading of Samuel Paty, a square bearing the name of the teacher murdered by a Chechen jihadist was inaugurated in the 5th arrondissement of Paris. Unfortunately, two months after the corresponding plaques were installed near the Sorbonne, one of them was vandalized. The matter was reported on Twitter on Monday, December 20, by Nicholas Gavrilenko, treasurer of the Union of Secular Families (Ulaf). The association manager shared two photos, one of which depicts the original panel. The latter is marked: “Professor of history and geography, assassinated on October 16, 2020, victim of Islamist terrorism.” However, the degradation reported by Nicolas Gavrilenko is not trivial: only the term “Islamist” was targeted, being entirely covered with white paint.
Willful blindness
The panel thus vandalized therefore only mentions: “Samuel Paty (…) victim of terrorism”. A highly political degradation, the deep meaning of which has not escaped Nicolas Gavrilenko: “The plaque naming the square next to the Sorbonne as a tribute has been vandalized and signs the willful blindness of some,” writes the secular activist, who still insists upon reality: “It is indeed the ISLAMIST terrorism of which Samuel Paty was a victim.” Concluding his message, he called on the town hall of the 5th arrondissement (Libres, movement founded by Valérie Pécresse) to “quickly restore” the degraded plaque. For the moment, the district town hall has, it seems, not reacted yet.
Michael Copeland says
In the UK the contrived word “Islamist”, invented to make a distinction from “Islamic”, or “muslim”, is used to draw attention away from Islam. It makes an artificial (and non-existent) distinction. However, it can, at least, be used.
In Switzerland the word may not have this distinguishing role. In India, according to commenter Infidel here, it is used interchangeably with “Islamic”.
The word “Islamist” does not appear anywhere in the Manual of Islamic Law, “Reliance of the Traveller”.
somehistory says
They should put a different word….what mozlums call themselves…with their usual spelling and keep the paint can handy for a redo, and another, as long as it takes to make it stick.
somehistory says
Are there not materials that will not accept paint? Put some oils on top of the new “islamist” word.
mozlums are of two different *minds* on their terrorism….on the one hand, they threaten terrorism in all of its forms….rape, burn, destroy, bomb, murder, slicing, dicing….and many carry it out through various means.
On the other hand, they like to deny and try to hide the fact that many mozlums commit acts of terror and are, in fact, commanded to “slice” the necks, make people pay for not worshipping their fake prophet. So after someone of their number carries out an attack of murder such as was done to Mr. Paty, they must deny that it is a core part of what they believe, and must make an attempt to hide that fact.
so…threaten terror, proclaim what they will do to Israel, the U.S., the West, Jews, Christians, etc. and then carry out these acts as often as possible.
Then, after the attacks, lie and try to hide the evidence and Truth of the matter.
Those who murder for satan, rape for satan, lie for satan, have made themselves children of satan. Just as Jesus Christ said, “You are from your father the devil.”

No, ‘someone lacking a knowledge of history’ … Muslims are not of ‘TWO’ kinds only. There are over a billion kinds of Muslims. Your overgeneralizations and demonizations do much harm to the counterjihad movement’s reputation. You should temper your overgeneralizations, your explosions and ejaculations.
somehistory says
Why don’t you get a life? You focus too much…way, way too much on what i write.
I didn’t write *KINDS” I wrote two MINDS! Regarding terrorism.
You need to learn to READ with UNDERSTANDING if you keep choosing to read my comments.
They may have other things on their mind…..you would know more about the mozlum mind than I, but for what I was writing about…two *MINDS” fits.
One: they threaten and do !! Second: they lie and deny. TWO …count them. If you are able to see past your bias in their favor.
MINDS….NOT ….KINDS.
Now go read something you’ll understand.
somehistory says
And BTW, I was being way too generous with the use of the word MINDS’…
Anyone who is a devout mozlum has no mind. Any and every devout mozlum is a complete fool.
James Lincoln says
mortimer,
Please tell us all, exactly, what was incorrect as far as somehistory’s post.
gravenimage says
Mortimer, why the hell do you keep attacking staunch Anti-Jihadist Somehistory?
Besides, you yourself know that many Muslims do indeed follow the diktats of their vicious creed–you yourself admit this frequently. The implication that Muslims have over a billion ways of regarding Jihad terror is utterly misleading.
And no–opposing the horrors of Jihad terror does *not* harm the counterjihad’s reputation. It is what all decent people should do.
mortimer says
Muslims who pass through this square should hang their heads in shame and look into their hearts to realize that is the Death Cult to which they adhere that killed Samuel Paty.
Muslims should spend time thinking about the harm that has been caused by their Death Cult to so many people … to over 270 million slain victims of jihad.
Muslims who do not denounce jihad as evil are complicit in the slaying.

Mortimer, Islam itself teaches that murdering anyone who dares “blapheme” the “Prophet” Muhammed is a good thing. So why would any pious Muslim have a problem with this? They would not.
Muslim countries have condemned France for daring to crack down on Jihad terrorists after the beheading:
“Muslim Countries Denounce French Response to Killing of Teacher, Urge Boycott”
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/27/world/europe/French-Muslims-Turkey-crackdown.html
Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said this:
“Muslims have a right to be angry and to kill millions of French people”.

CAIR and Samuel Paty –

Thanks for that link, livingengine. Note that none of the CAIR thugs in this video note that Samuel Paty was murdered for defending freedom of speech.
Westman says
Well, at least there is embarrassment about what some “brothers” do in the name of Islam. Now, if the other brothers would stop them before they commit acts of violence, in Islam’s name, there would be no need for governments and Islamic organizations to, “cover it up”.
gravenimage says
I don’t think there’s actual embarrassment. Muslims just don’t want Infidels to know what Islam has planned for them–not until it is too late, at least.

France: Samuel Paty Square plaque vandalized, the word ‘Islamist’ is painted over
……………
Just repulsive–but who can be surprised?
Shalom says
There is a Muslim posted everywhere. Even in my town of Bournemouth in the U.K. we are twinned with Netanya in Israel and we had to sign a petition against the removal of this. Also recently a coach load of religious teenagers went to Oxford Street in London to hand out doughnuts and display a Menorah and were set upon by a group of shoe throwing Muslims doing nazi salutes at them. The BBC reported that an anti Muslim slur was heard on the (video) coach. This was proven an outright lie and there is an ongoing charge against the BBC to admit that. They used the word ‘alleged’ to describe the indisputable Jew hate attack that was clearly visible on the video.
gravenimage says
Awful, Shalom. Sadly, I cannot say I am surprised.
hammar says
The Post should read, “mohammad was no prophet to begin with, but a the first terrorist of the world.”
His major accomplishments were professional pillager, murderer, and thief.
No one believed him in his day and he threatened them with death. Read his
story. He was a phony.
