Emmanuel Macron parle de “crise de l’islam”. C’est la moindre des choses!
La décapitation de Samuel Paty, par un terroriste islamiste, pour avoir enseigné la liberté d’expression à ses élèves lors d’un cours d’histoire avait horrifié la France. Les assassinats qui se succèdent depuis, en France ou en Europe, menacent au contraire de banaliser la terreur.
