Muslim husband assaults French gynecologist
AFP via The Tocqueville Connection ^ | 10/21/2006

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?"

I only go to female gynochologists. (one who doesn't do abortions btw) The other day I had to have a full body exam by my dermitologist and my husband was there (at my request) and I asked the resident to leave the room. But the difference here is that it is not the woman but her husband who is being "modest." That is what pushes it into the "evil" and twisted category, never mind religion.

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

2. French muslim female doctors (?) won't remove veils to speak to patients effectively. Ditto for muslim teachers of English in ENGLAND.

3. Muslim husbands emigrate, then assault gynecologists who help their wives by examining them, etc.

But WE'RE intolerant...?

No, the ridiculous part is this.

Seems they are forbidden to keep records of criminal action by thier lords and masters.

G-d have mercy on the french, because they won't get any from the mohammedans

Oh come now, she doesn't have to have a teachiing experience while she is being examined. It is not her duty or obligation.

What I don't get is if it is such a big deal, why dont the muslim women go to women docs? In an emergency I guess women might not be in an ER but usually there is one about the place.

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

Why? That's the exact opposite of the way it used to be, when most hospitals were founded by religious orders.

What a bunch of perverts. They're so obsessed with sex and assume that everyone else is, too. Well, not in the way they are, though. The fact that they think the worst of everyone else, shows what's going on in their minds.

In other words, he's too scared to.

Perhaps Muslims would be better served by medieval medicine.

Yeah, he probably doesn't want to be next on their hit list. Getting beheaded probably isn't his idea of a good time.

Think about a culture where the man would rather have his wife die than get examined by a doctor.

No she doesn't but she seemed just one degree from the subject in the original story.

The doctor should have hit the husband with the weed whacker he used to prepare the wife for her exam.
