With a hat-tip to reader Peter C, a truly horrific sign of the times comes from Lyon in the south of France, where a schoolgirl was stoned by Muslim students on Wednesday (October 4), for not following Ramadan. France-Echos reports on the incident, which is described in today's edition of Le Progres a paper serving the Lyon, Villeurbanne and Caluire-et-Cuire region.
This is a translation of the France-Echos report:
A schoolgirl was stoned on Wednesday in playground
For non-observance of Ramadan
According to information given by Michèle Vianès, from the Regards de Femmes organization:
The information that I gave Thursday from our cafe Regards de Femmes is in Le Progres today.
A schoolgirl of Jean Mermoz college in Lyon's eighth arrondissement (postal district) was pelted with stones on Wednesday morning in the playground because she ate a snack. The argument that the incident stemmed from the non-observance of Ramadan is confirmed by the Lyon prosecutor's office, based on initial results from its investigation.
Azzedine Gaci, president of the CRCM (Regional Council for the Muslim Religion) , states that "if the facts are proven, they are unacceptable". He deplores the ignorance of the pupils, who should be taught the Koran at school, and who are unaware that "women who are not feeling well" * are exempted from observing Ramadan.
Without other commentaries for today, I will keep you updated

The front cover of Le Progres (here, in pdf, but not yet on its online site) states:
Ramadan fast: A college girl attacked
The attack happened in a recreation moment in the playground of Jean-Mermoz (Lyon 8th). Pupils of the third grade threw stones at an adolescent. The principal of the college said it was a simple incident, not premeditated. But for its side, the Prosecutor's Office of Lyon confirmed in the first stages of an inquiry that this this act could have been linked to the victim not observing the ramadan fast. The incident has provoked strong emotion in the education community.
The story continues on page 7 of the printed edition, which I do not have access to at present. Hopefully on Monday, today's edition will be online and I will update this story.
* Means literally "indisposed", or "out of sorts", and probably is a euphemism for her "time of the month".
We are the religion of peace... and if you don't agree.. WE'LL KILL YOU!!
Interesting how the world is properly outraged over the Amish school children murdered, but will hem and haw over a way to excuse this school girl being assaulted as being "rare" or a "one-time event".
French response will be to clear all playgrounds of rocks and stones.
back when I was young catholics didnt eat meat on Friday, but I never ehard of a Catholic throwing rocks at a Protestant kids for having a Roast beef sandwich.
Making an exception for a woman's "time of the month" doesn't make sense in I Slam.Surely,allah and "the prophet" (pork chops be unto them) would demand that any such "unclean" woman be stoned to death in the mosque.
Well we all know that not observing Ramadan is offensive to Muslims, and Muslims we cannot ever offend!

More likely, ban food on the playground.
At least during Ramadan.
we'll see...*evil grin*
Doogle
Come to think of it, our public school only served fish on Fridays. Kinda funny to remember that.
Yikes--that must have been horrible! What I'd like to know is; was she hurt? Were they little rocks that a few students threw, or big rocks that many students threw?
Not in any way am I trying to be an apologist, but as often happens in a translation, or just a regular news blurb, the headline is tantalizing, but the information is not very comprehensive, and I'd just like to know more. Thanks! :)
(I had some redneck students throw little rocks at me at lunch in 12th grade because I "looked like a lesbian,"---I had short hair--- and though it was horrible, I didn't need medical help or anything. . .on the other hand, if they were boulders like in the "Life of Brian" sketch. . .)
In ANY case, this is certainly a sick thing to have done (and would you believe, I am NOT shocked!)
This seems to be the Muslim philosophy of dealing with women no matter what the offense.
Well, theyll stone ya when youre trying to be so good,
Theyll stone ya just a-like they said they would.
Theyll stone ya when youre tryin to go home.
Then theyll stone ya when youre there all alone.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, theyll stone ya when youre walkin long the street.
Theyll stone ya when youre tryin to keep your seat.
Theyll stone ya when youre walkin on the floor.
Theyll stone ya when youre walkin to the door.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Theyll stone ya when youre at the breakfast table.
Theyll stone ya when you are young and able.
Theyll stone ya when youre tryin to make a buck.
Theyll stone ya and then theyll say, good luck.
Tell ya what, I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, theyll stone you and say that its the end.
Then theyll stone you and then theyll come back again.
Theyll stone you when youre riding in your car.
Theyll stone you when youre playing your guitar.
Yes, but I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, theyll stone you when you walk all alone.
Theyll stone you when you are walking home.
Theyll stone you and then say you are brave.
Theyll stone you when you are set down in your grave.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
(Sorry - I couldn't resist this.)
I certainly hope they don't fall for this.
All this muslim extremism begins with indoctrinating children.
