PEOPLE ARE NOW BEGINNING TO ASK WHY IS THIS HAPPENING IN FRANCE, WHICH HAS A CULTURE OF TOLERANCE AND A CONSTITUTION THAT TALKS ABOUT EVERYBODY BEING PART OF THE SAME REPUBLIC. >> FIRST, IT'S NOT HAPPENING ONLY IN FRANCE. THOSE ATTACKS TARGETED ALMOST ALL COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD, BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, WE ADD A LOT OF THOSE. WE FACED ALMOST A TERRORIST ATTACK EVERY TWO MONTHS SINCE ALMOST EIGHT YEARS NOW. IT'S A LOT. JEWS ARE BEING ATTACKED ON STREETS. TEACHERS NOW. BEFORE IT WAS POLICEMEN, CARTOONISTS, JOURNALISTS, PRIESTS, A BUSINESSMAN HAS BEEN BEHEADED A FEW YEARS AGO. FIRST BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF RADICALS. THAT'S THE REALITY. WE HAVE ALMOST 8,000 ISLAMIST RADICALS IN FRANCE. SO EVERY TIME THERE IS A CAMPAIGN OF HATRED ON SOCIAL NETWORK, SOMEONE IS ACCUSED, FOR EXAMPLE, OF ISLAM PHOBIA, IT CAN GET HIM KILLED BECAUSE ONE OF THOSE RADICAL CAN TAKE THE TARGET, TAKE THE BAIT AND KILL THIS PERSON. >> I WAS STRUCK BY THE FACT THAT IT LOOKED LIKE THIS TEACHER, SAMUEL PATI'S CLASS WAS KIND OF WHAT CAME OUT OF SOME REFLECTION AFTER THE ATTACK ON CHARLIE HEB HEBDO, TRYING TO EXPLAIN TOLERANCE AND ALL OF THAT. WHY WAS SAMUEL SHOWING THE PICTURES AND TALKING ABOUT IT IN HIS CLASS? >> BECAUSE IT'S PART OF THE PROGRAM ACTUALLY. IT'S PART OF THE MISSION OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOL TO DEBATE IN CLASSROOMS ABOUT CRITICAL THINKING, CONTEXT, SECULARISM, BLASPHEMY, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE TERRORIST ATTACK AGAINST CHARLIE HEB DO, WE REINFORCED THE PROGRAM TO HELP THE STUDENTS. ON THE SMART PHONE, THEY CAN FIND ON THE INTERNET. SO THOSE PROPAGANDA ARE REALLY DESTROYING AND RADICALIZE ISIS AND WE ARE SUPPOSED TO EXPLAIN TO THE YOUNG GENERATION WHAT IS THE CONTEXT, WHY THEY HAVE BEEN PUBLISHED BECAUSE THERE IS TOO MUCH ABOUT THAT. AND MR. PATTI WAS ONLY DOING THIS, EXPLAINING. AND EVEN HE TOOK THE TIME TO SAY TO HIS STUDENTS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE PART OF THE DEBATE, YOU CAN LEAVE THE ROOM.
