France witnessed another apparent incident of violent Islamophobia on Tuesday, after it was reported that a 16-year-old girl in the suburbs of Paris was attacked and had her Islamic veil torn off her face.

The teen victim was leaving a friend’s house in Trappes, the same Paris suburb that saw violent clashes between youths and police last month, at around 5.45 pm on Monday, when two “European-looking” men confronted her near Square Berlioz, according to reports in French media.

The victim reported her assailants shouted racist and anti-Muslim insults at her before brandishing a boxcutter. She said they then tore off her veil, pushed her to the ground, and hit her.

The victim was saved when a third man intervened, and the attackers—one of whom was described as having a shaved head—fled the area by car. …

I wonder how this young woman would be treated if she tried to go through a Moose Limb neighborhood in France WITHOUT her veil on.

If that’s the worse the muzzies have to live with, they’ll have it a lot better than little 7yo girls who happen to be Jewish.

Isn’t it against the law to wear veils in France?

France deserves what it has coming to it.

I just hope we learn the lesson before we have to go through it as well.

Easy solution - let the muzzie go back to the 6th century land from which they came.

Yes; veils were banned effective April 11, 2011. The socialists haven’t moved to rescind the ban.

Nice of them to ignore the rapes, murders, and assaults by Muslims in order to pretend that Muslims are being picked onbased off this instance.

No sympathy here.First of all I could swear that France just passed a law forbidding the wearing of those tarpaulins.Even if I'm wrong the only problem I have here is if she was psychically harmed.I don't give a rat's hindquarters how “insulted” or “blasphemed” she (or her community of 9th Century knuckledragging pig fornicators) might have felt.

She was not a French teen.
She broke the law.
She should not have been beat up, if that actually happened.

Ya did you notice “Violent Islamophobis”?

When was the last time you say “Violent Christophobia” or Violent Antisemitism” in print?

“European Looking?”

Isn’t that profiling?

Imagine a world where a Muslim (or any minority) shouts “Discrimination,” and nobody cared. Well, I think that world is coming sooner than people think.

Too bad they don’t condemn violence by the bearded savages as much as they condemn this.
