Muslim intellectuals and activists from Indian Muslims for Secular Democracy IMSD held a webinar on Sunday, condemning the beheading of a school teacher, Samuel Paty, in Paris. The speakers held a two-minute silence in respect for Paty.

France is witnessing protests over the death of Paty, a history teacher who was beheaded by 18-year-old Chechen Abdulla Anzorov based in France. Paty was killed for showing cartoons of Prophet Muhammad to a class [he did give Muslim students the choice to leave his class] as they debated freedom of expression.
