angryamazigh:latinamuslima:descentintotyranny:‘Climate of Islamophobia’: Two attackers rip veil off French girlAug. 14 2013A 16-year old girl was attacked in Paris suburb and had the Islamic veil she was wearing torn from her face. As anti-Islamic attacks in France soar, a French Muslim leader condemned the ‘climate of Islamophobia’ and urged the government to act.The teenager was leaving a friend’s house in Trappes at about 5:45 pm, when she was attacked by two “European looking” men, one of whom was also described as having a shaven head. Her assailants then shouted anti-Muslim and racist abuse at her while brandishing a box cutter, before tearing off her veil, pushing her to the ground and hitting her. A third man intervened saving the girl and the attackers fled by car.

A source told the newspaper le Parisien that she was treated for “light scratch marks” on her face and throat. She reported the incident to the police on Tuesday. The French Interior Minister Manuel Valls was quick to condemn the attack.“I severely condemn this newest demonstration of anti-Muslim hatred and intolerance.
