Ahmed Merabet

 

'Ahmed Merabet died protecting the innocent from hate. I salute him.' a tribute from someone who loved him

Ahmed Merabet was a muslim policeman shot dead yesterday during the attack on Charlie Hebdo

"The longing in the depth of the heart for absolute good, and the power, though only latent, of directing attention and love to a reality beyond the world and of receiving good from it - constitutes a link which attaches every human individual, without exception, to that other reality...because of this, we hold every human being, without exception, as something sacred to whom we are bound to show respect..."  Simone Weil

#JeSuisAhmed

I noticed this message outside the Jewish supermarket, as part of a shrine for the dead, accompanied by flowers;

Je suis Juif
De la part d'un Muselman

(I am Jewish, from a Muslim)
