Those EU Leftists really know how to apply cruel and unusual punishment, don't they?

Vigneux sur Seine, France – The boys were patient, standing in line and waiting their turn to rape.
Their two victims, girls of 13, were patient as well, never crying out, at least that is what the neighbors said, and enduring the violence and abuse not once, but repeatedly over five months.
That was three years ago. Late last month, 10 young men, now ranging in age from 18 to 21, were convicted of rape in a closed courtroom in nearby Evry and sentenced to prison terms ranging from three to five years. Seven others will go on trial in November. The fact that they are being brought to justice at all is highly unusual.
The phenomenon of gang rape in France has become banal. It occurs — how often is unknown — in the concrete wastelands built as cheap housing for immigrants on the outskirts of France's big cities. Here, according to sociologists and prosecutors, teenage boys, many of them loosely organized into gangs, prey on neighborhood girls.
Many of the boys are raised in closed, traditional families and are hopelessly confused or ignorant about sex; others are simply street toughs. In this world, women enjoy little respect; often girls who appear weak, or who wear tight-fitting clothing or go out unaccompanied by their fathers or brothers are considered fair game.
To avoid trouble, many girls of the projects have taken to wearing loose-fitting jogging clothes and hidden themselves behind domineering fathers or brothers; others have organized themselves into their own gangs. Many of the Muslim girls have donned head scarves — more for protection than out of religious conviction.
In the basement of 4 Place Albert Einstein, in this working-class suburb where the rapes took place, a graffiti message scrawled across a white wall explains why so few cases are prosecuted. "The law of silence is our sixth sense," it reads. "I've heard too many of these stories, and it's become unbearable," said Samira Bellil, 30, a gang-rape victim, whose book, "In Gang-Rape Hell," was a bestseller in France last year. "The word of the boys is often believed. So the trauma is not just the violence but the torment that comes if a girl comes forward and breaks the silence. We have to stop taking sides with the wolves."
Bellil was gang-raped at age 14. She had fallen in love and agreed to have sex with her boyfriend. Three of his friends were waiting outside. They kicked and beat her and gang-raped her throughout the night. She waited before reporting the rapes, and did so only after three of her friends told her that they, too, had been raped by one of her attackers.
The appearance of Bellil's book last year coincided with the death of a 17-year-old girl named Sohane, who was burned alive by an angry boyfriend in the suburb of Vitry-sur-Seine. A book about the murder, which trained the spotlight on violent crime against young women in the suburbs, is still on the best-seller list. In the case of the two girls in the recent court case, the penetration was oral or anal; vaginal sex would have stolen the girls' virginity, which apparently was not the goal of the attackers.

There have been a considerable number of articles in the last few yeaqr about the Muslim rape gangs in France.
In a number of places even Christian girls are forced to wear the burka to avoid being raped, or even killed.
Young Muslim women have held protest marches in Paris against Muslim rape gangs.
I suppose if you demand proof positive you could always go to Marseilles or one of the Muslim suburbs of Paris, dress like a tart and await results.
...the girls don the traditional Muslim garb for protection - that WOULD imply that the perps are Muslim. I got it now. Must be late... I'm awfully slow on the draw.

LOL! Nah. I had enough trouble with Frenchmen and Italian boys over there the three days I spent in Paris in '86. UGh. (IMO guys that ogled me must have been really desperate) What a waste of travel money. Never again.
Rape has always been the reason for the head scarves and veils. In the Muslim tradition, a woman without a head scarf is fair game to be raped.
Writing what could be construed as an anti-Muslim article could get the paper sued or even prosecuted for a hate crime.
Any writer has to be really circumspect when writing about subjects like this, that's why you see North-African, Asian, etc. used as euphamisms for Muslim.

Plus each Muslim boy wantw to marry a number of virgins so they're keeping their future harem members "intact" and pure. For allah --- that's how allah their god wants it.
Another code word "immigrants" in cheap housing in France means Muslims.
Just so, specifically Moroccans and — mostly — Algerians..
If Abdul will pray, to a smoking crater.
Yet another clue as to the rapists' affiliation, but I see that you found the answer to your question. Anyway, doesn't sound like a typical French male's upbringing.
After the Romans sacked and burned Carthage, and sowed the fields with salt, such Carthagenians as remained quit sacrificing their kids to Molech.
There's a lesson or two in that, for those with the wit and guts to learn it.
Of course, it would help if Western Civilisation would quit trying to abort, contracept, and bugger itself out of existence.
And America won't survive without more shock therapy to jolt it out of its decadent stupor.
