Concur completely, yo. Scrawling swatikas on Jewish women’s bellies, drawing no blood, is probably an insult to Allah.

“The rock and the tree will say: Oh Muslim, servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him...”

[BearCub]

Ah, the two what? Uh... uh, what was that word?

[Alouette]

it turns out to be a hoax.

Where there's a hoax there's money.

Are you suggesting that Sarkozy set this up in order to get more votes?

[Flash Bazbeaux]

‘It seems that everytime something is “scrawled” on someone’s body it turns out to be a hoax.”

Call me cynical too, because that was also my first impression.

[I still care]

Marsailles has very few French in it. It is a totally immigrant city, and is I think about a quarter Arab.

It also has a large Jewish population. My guess is they have a lot of incidents like this.

There was an incident in 2004 in which a woman made up an account of an assault like this on the subway.Of course, this does not automatically make this new account a lie-but a look back at this proven hoax might be of interest. It was posted here back in July 04; my link is from the NY Times but the FR articles might be found in the archives by someone more determined to find them than me:

On Friday, Marie L. reported that six men had attacked her on a suburban train north of Paris after they mistakenly identified her as a Jew. She said the attackers slashed her clothing with knives, lightly wounding her in the process, and marked three swastikas on her stomach with a marker. Before the group got off the train, she said, the assailants overturned the stroller of her 13-month-old child, who fell to the ground.

See my #26...Again, the similarities between the known hoax and this new account do NOT prove the new one to be a hoax-and it’s possible thugs could have read the older story and thought it would be fun to try that for real. :-( But here is the hoax I had forgotten about till this account triggered a memory.

Or - have the French already surrendered their women to the Muslim bastards?

The French have surrendered at every opportunity since 1918. Sad, they once were strong. Now Napoleon is probably doing about 700rpm in in his grave.

I suppose that if she were wearing the traditional symbol of Buddhism she’d have been praised by the yoots and condemned for insensitivity by those who follow the Jewish faith.

I suppose that if she were wearing the traditional symbol of Buddhism she’d have been praised by the yoots and condemned for insensitivity by those who follow the Jewish faith. But then they did draw the traditional Buddhist symbol on her abdomen.

Was that Halimi?

Find the utes and give them the bastinado!

[norton]

I think that after 32 posts it is safe to say that we don’t quite know hat to make of this report.

[Kenny Bunk]

I hope Mlle. Le Pen is OK! Excellent timing.

[DeFault User]

Yes. A little more than a year ago.

Another fake attack like: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/3891609.stm

Swastika attack woman ‘lied’

A French woman who alleged she had been the subject of an anti-Semitic attack invented the story, police sources say.
