One year after the killing of Samuel Paty – the opinion of French 18-30 year olds on this Islamist attack: 23% “not totally” condemn the Islamist perpetrator

One year after the beheading of Samuel Paty, our Ifop survey shows that the opinion of 18-30 year olds on this Islamist attack remains ambiguous. While they say they are “shocked”, one in five refuse to appreciate the teacher’s educational efforts.

Where are we today, one year after the unthinkable? As France prepares to commemorate the teacher Samuel Paty, who was beheaded on October 16, 2020, in a street near his school in Bois-d’Aulne, Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, in the Yvelines region, for showing cartoons of Muhammad to his students, we have tried to measure the impact of this attack on the thinking and beliefs of young French people between the ages of 18 and 30.
