A video of a funeral is being shared on social media with a claim that it is of the man who beheaded history teacher Samuel Patty for showing cartoon of Prophet Muhammad to his pupil in a Paris suburb recently. 
The Facebook post read, “ #பிரான்ஸ்_நாட்டில் #நபி_ஸல்லல்லாஹு_அலைஹிவஸல்லம் அவர்களை இழிவு படுத்திய ஆசிரியர், சாமுவேலை கொலை செய்த செச்சன்யா நாட்டு இளைஞர் அங்குள்ள காவல்துறையால் சுட்டுக் கொல்லப்பட்டார் ! அவரின் ஜனாசா செச்சன்யா நாட்டுக்கு கொண்டு வரப்பட்டு நல்லடக்கம் செய்யப்பட்டது ! விடைபெற்றார், ஷஹீதான அந்த இளைஞர் ! இன்னா லில்லாஹி வ இன்னா இலைஹி ராஜிஊன்”
(Google Translation: France_in_the_Nabi_Prophet_Prophet The teacher who insulted them, the Chechen youth who killed Samuel was shot dead by the police there!
His janasa was brought to Chechnya and was well received! Farewell, that young man who was martyred! Inna lillahi wa inna ilahi rajioon.)

May Allah accept your testimony. And be my Lord Razı from the Muslims who bid farewell to their funeral. #AllahuEkber“)

Allah Resulü nü hicveden karikatürü sınıfta gösteren Fransız kafiri öğretmenin gereksiz kellesini gövdesinden ayıran Şehid Abdullah Şişani nin Cenazesi.
Allah şehadetini kabul etsin.
