This is truly gruesome and grievous. The Associated Press reports:

French authorities detained nine people Saturday in connection with the gruesome beheading of a teacher who had shown students caricatures of the prophet Muhammad, which is strictly prohibited by Muslim law.

The Friday attack immediately captivated the attention of a nation otherwise distracted by a rapid resurgence of the novel coronavirus and the imposition of a mandatory evening curfew in a handful of major cities, including Paris.

As further details emerged, the incident reignited some of the most explosive debates in the French national lexicon: the value of free expression in a country that, unlike the United States, does abide by hate-speech laws, and the place of Islam in a nominally secular but post-colonial society in which Muslims are among the largest minority groups.

We need to pray:

Pray for the family of the teacher who as murdered.

Pray the murders are caught and brought to justice.

Pray that intercessors and evangelists will collaborate to send forth the gospel.

Pray that Muslims in France has dreams and visions of Jesus and convert.

Pray against terror attacks in Paris.

    This is so sad to read. God help us all. We now live in a world that no longer values human life, lacks patience and tolerance and where we no longer have freedom of expression. Will continue to pray for this man’s family, for justice to be done for such a barbaric act, for radical conversions and deliverance to all those that stand for hate, for God’s love to be poured out over the city of Paris and nation of France in Jesus Name Amen!!

    In the name of Jesus, Father God may the family of this teacher experience your presence and your peace in their lives. Help them to overcome hate and evil with good s you pour your love into their hearts. Reveal yourself to them and reveal your righteousness and your justice bringing the murderers to the authorities to be judged and punished for their wickedness. May these murderers and the Muslims all over the World begin to have visions, dreams and encounters with you, the only true God. I pray for the intercessors in France to rise up in every place and take their position, opposing the work of the enemy and collaborating to send forth the gospel. Send workers to the field Father! I pray for terrorist attacks to be stopped in the name of Jesus. Bring to light every plan of this groups before they are executed. In Jesus name I pray and declare that you are exalted in France and all over the World. So it Is!
