Earlier this month in France, a teacher who had reportedly shown caricatures of the Islamic prophet Muhammad during a civics class was beheaded by an 18-year-old Chechen refugee, who was subsequently fatally shot by police.

The teacher, Samuel Paty, was beheaded on the street by Abdoullakh Anzorov.

Robin Simcox, the director of The Counter Extremism Group, which provides practical counter-extremism policy solutions to decision makers, joins the podcast to unpack what happened.

    In the last analysis, I suspect, Muslims are by now too large a voting group in France to permit any effective policy to be adopted.
