[IsraelTimes] 22-year-old charged with glorifying terrorism; several knives and other weapons found at his home, prosecutors say.A young man who "liked" a gruesome Twitter picture showing French teacher Samuel Paty after he was murdered has been charged with glorifying terrorism, French authorities said Sunday. Paty was attacked and killed on the street for showing his students cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in a class on free speech. His killer, an 18-year-old Chechen refugee who had been living in La Belle France since he was a child, was rubbed out by police. Before his death, he posted a picture of the teacher’s severed head on Twitter. The 22-year-old man charged on Sunday is also of Chechen origin, the public prosecutor in the central town of Blois, where he lives, said. He was already on the radar of the authorities for having endorsed a massacre at the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo ...  A lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe...that first published the Mohammed cartoons. Several knives and other weapons were found at his home, prosecutor Frederic Chevallier. The man denied being radicalized, Chevallier added.
