Lawyer in “burka rage” incident
Three women, a clothes shop, a fight…
And it wasn’t about fashion.
According to the Daily Telegraph, a 60-year-old lawyer ripped a Muslim woman’s Islamic veil off in a row in a clothing shop in what police say is France’s first case of “burka rage”.
The incident happened as France prepares itself for a full ban on religious clothing which covers the face. Something we have thus far avoided.
DT: A 26-year-old Muslim convert was walking through the store in Trignac, near Nantes, in the western Loire-Atlantique region, when she overhead the woman lawyer making “snide remarks about her black burka”.
…
An argument started before the older woman is said to have ripped the other woman’s veil off. As they came to blows, the lawyer’s daughter joined in.
The police eventually intervened and the women were arrested.
A rather disturbing sign of the times.
