You will not have my hatred."

That's the defiant message the husband of one of the Paris attacks victims is sending to ISIS.


Antoine Leiris lost his wife in the Friday violence that shook the French capital, taking the lives of at least 129 and injuring hundreds more.

He penned the poignant tribute to his wife on Monday, publishing it on his Facebook page. His status, promising to not let his 17-month-old son grow up in fear of ISIS, has been shared over 57,000 times.

'You want me to be frightened'

"Friday night you took away the life of an exceptional human being, the love of my life, the mother of my son, but you will not have my hatred," Leiris wrote.

"I do not know who you are, and I do not wish to. You are dead souls. If this God for whom you kill so blindly has made us in His image, every bullet in the body of my wife will have been a wound in His heart."




"So I will not give you the privilege of hating you. You certainly sought it, but replying to hatred with anger would be giving in to the same ignorance which made you into what you are. You want me to be frightened, that I should look into the eyes of my fellow citizens with distrust, that I sacrifice my freedom for security. You lost. I will carry on as before.

"I saw her this morning. Finally, after nights and days of waiting. She was as beautiful as when she left on Friday evening, as beautiful as when I fell madly in love with her more than 12 years ago. I am of course devastated by heartbreak, I'll cede you that little victory, but it will be short-lived. I know that she will be with us every day and that we will meet again in a paradise of free souls to which you will never have access."

Attack on Western Nations

The attacks, seen as an affront not only to France but on broader Western freedoms, has sparked fears of retaliation against refugees and France's Muslim population.

But many Parisians, like Leiris, are determined to go about their lives as normal, refusing to give in to ISIS' goal of sowing divisions and hate in society.

Leiris closed his moving tribute to his wife promising to raise his son happy and free.

"There are only two of us, my son and I, but we are stronger than all the armies of the world. Moreover, I have no more time to grant you, I must go to Melvil who is waking up from his nap. He is just 17-months-old. He will eat his snack like he does every day, then we will play like we do every day and every day of his life this little boy will affront you by being happy and free. Because you will not have his hatred either."

How did we become this hateful!!!

All is well!

I doubt the sincerity of his words....though emotionaly laden.

He is just powerless physically cos a handfull of brainwashed low life individuals with a hateful ideology can unleash these terror attacks and governments of the world are trying hard even within the law to get a step ahead but its pretty difficult.

His only power is his will and that is strong enough

I am with you on this, Antoine Leiris!
I pray for your family!

FFK are you cramjones
if yes i want to drink beer

The man has only shared his resolution, he is not asking you to believe, so you don't need to share your doubt!

A rare soul.

France has consistently been a victim of massive terror attacks due to its "openness" to a growing Muslim population they are presently on their knees and will get up stronger just like other nations suffering terror attacks

I can feel the agony in those words.
They are heavy words. Just 17 months old baby? And he's gonna raise dat child alone? Or remarry to have a woman to take care of the baby.

He's trying to say he won't dwell in d agony and he won't be broken because of the evil someone intentionally perpetrated to affect him.

my thoughts too. a handful of people just mess up genuine intents of real muslims who are fun loving and wanna do business or go on pleasure trips to France

nice, pls tell u govt to stop creating homeless people. cause these homeless people would turn back against the french people.

France created homeless people when it supported the phony war in Iraq under the deceitful guise of destroying Saddam's unknown chemical weapon. which has created so many homeless people and humanitarian crisis.

France supported and even spearheaded the bombings of Libya under the deceitful and despicable guise of saving Libyans, which the result was creating more homeless people and endangering the lives of Libyans.

France supported and took part in the anti Syrian campaign, because of its hate for a democratically elected leader Assad, creating the terrorist organization isis which has almost destroyed Syria, creating thousands if not millions of homeless people, condemning them to refugees.

until all these phony, deceitful and inhuman western wars stops such attacks would continue to take place in France and other western countries.

I don't think only Muslims will be affected hence for th.

This was touching...take heart Antoine. Those cowards target the weak and defenceless, and are not worthy of the label of 'fighter', they are nothing but armed cowards that blow themselves up to escape the consequences of their actions.
