Abstract

The teacher Samuel Paty, who was decapitated on 16 October 2020 for showing cartoons of The Prophet Mohammad in a lecture in France, is an important indicator of the postmodern conceptual debate between “freedom of expression” and “terrorism.” It is not a coincidence that many similar events, especially the Charlie Hebdo attack in 2015, took place in France. The phenomenon of freedom of expression, which came to the fore during the 1789 French Revolution and its aftermath, made France a historical heir and the target of radical terrorist attacks. In this context, the study examines how the murder of Samuel Paty was interpreted on the websites of Yeni Şafak and Yeni Akit newspapers, which stand out with their Islamic journalism approach. The qualitative content analysis method was used in the study. The focus of the study is how the developments were reported by the newspapers on the day of the murder (October 16, 2020) and after.
