Muslim husband assaults French gynecologist

PARIS, Oct 21, 2006 (AFP) - The agency in charge of Paris-region hospitals on Saturday confirmed that the husband of a Muslim woman examined by a male gynecologist had physically attacked the doctor, but refused to confirm allegations that the assault was motivated by religious extremism.

The AP-HP hospital agency said it had taken legal proceedings against the husband for an incident that occurred on the night of September 8 in the emergency service of an unnamed Paris hospital.

However the agency refused to endorse a statement by the professional association of French gynecologists and obstetricians, who described the assault as a manifestation of "Muslim fundamentalism."

The statement by the CNGOF professional association mentioned a similar incident that occurred in a Paris-region hospital in 2003.

In both attacks, gynecologists were "physically attacked and injured by the husbands of patients on the grounds that as male doctors they should not examine their wives," the statement said.

However the hospital authorities said they had "not at this stage confirmed any religious motivation" behind the latest incident.

French Health Minister Xavier Bertrand on Friday condemned the September incident, but also said he could not confirm that it was related to "religious or cultural motives."

"Hospitals must remain absolutely neutral from the religious and ideological point of view," he said.

The hospital agency said that a total of 185 violent incidents had been recorded in the 38 Paris-region public hospitals in 2005, up from 145 in the previous year.

However the hospital authorities did not record whether there was any religious motive to any of the attacks, because "such records would be discriminatory, and we have a neutral position," the statement said.

In their statement the gynecologists and obstetricians made a link between the case and a recent high-profile incident in which a French schoolteacher received death threats after publishing a virulent anti-Islamic article in a national paper.

"Are male gynecologists and obstetricians going to have to be protected by the police from now on when they do their job?" the statement asked. "Will they have to go into hiding like philosophy teachers?"

Riiiiiiight. Because there could have been another logical reason, like maybe the doc used a cold speculum....who knows, lets not jump to conclusions.

Now you are really exaggerating. She is not one degree from the subject in the story. She asked a non essential person to leave the room while she was naked. THe subject in the story had an exam and the subjects husband attacked the doc.

Now if you cannot see the difference, you need to get a clue.

Surely you can understand a woman might not want a "doc in the rough" observing her exam. She might be modest for goodness sakes. They ask permission you know, that implies some women and men might not want the intrusion. And have absolutely no obligation to tolerate it.

I hope to live long enough to see the day Muslim husbands are attacked by mobs of French OBs.

but refused to confirm allegations that the assault was motivated by religious extremism.

They are right. Islam itself is "extreme" and violent by its very nature. Therefore to be "Muslim" and "extremist" is redundant.

1. Minnesota muslim tax drivers at airport won't transport passengers in possession of wine.

Those are Somali maggots who Clinton invited in by the tens of thousands. Every single one of them should be deported.

Loved your post 19. Funny. But the image it evoked is a little hard to stomach, don't you think?

Okay, I'll tell my hospital story.

I hate mammograms. Every woman who's had one understands.

Quite a number of years ago, as part of a physical exam, I was referred for a mammogram.

I go to the hospital and find where I'm to wait. Then I am ushered into the changing room where I remove anything waist up (including jewelry) and put a hospital gown on backwards (opening in front).

Nurse comes in, shows me where to stand, tells me where to place the mammo for the gram and then asks if it's okay for her to touch my mammo to move it to the correct position.

I'm confused and say "yes, it's okay." Then she says "some women won't let me touch them because I'm black." I took another look and doggone she was.

So I asked her what any rational woman would ask: "You are a nurse, right? You're trained to take mammograms, right?" She said, "Yes" to both questions. So I said, "Then the color of your skin isn't important."

I still marvel that there are women who wouldn't let a nurse touch them because the nurse is black. I saw a nurse, color didn't matter.

Might take some of their military personnel, it's not their fault their politicians are pussies.

Now if the nurse was an arab man and he asked to manipulate your importants, would you have noticed?

I can't get over male nurses but then I am of a certain age!
