Je Suis Ahmed

One of the victims was Ahmed Merabet, a French police officer who was shot and killed. He was Muslim. He died as he fought to defend a publication known for insulting his culture and religion. He didn’t discriminate. He didn’t hesitate. He most likely never knew what he was dying for, but he did it, rushing to the scene, because it was the right thing to do.

This isn’t about Islam. It’s about a terrorist group trying to shut down free speech. This was so-called Muslims killing indiscriminately, even when Ahmed kneeled on the ground and asked, “Do you want to kill me?”
