CNN.com ^

PARIS, France (AP) -- Police said Friday that a body found in the River Seine was that of Katoucha Niane, a former top model for Yves Saint Laurent and other top designers who spoke out against female genital mutilation after quitting the catwalks. The body of former top model Katoucha Niane has been found in the river Seine. 1 of 2 Paris judicial police said her body was found Thursday near the Garigliano bridge in Paris. Police said an autopsy showed no signs of foul play, pointing to the possibility that she may have accidentally fallen into the river. She had been missing since January and was last seen returning home from a party. She lived in a houseboat near Paris' Alexandre III bridge, and her handbag was later found on the boat. Katoucha became one of the first African women to attain stardom as a supermodel, becoming a muse for Saint Laurent and posing for top photographers like Irving Penn.

Perhaps you need an education on First Amendment Rights?

So, I guess I don't need your permission to come onto your property with a sign and hold a demonstration in favour of a political or religious opinion completely opposite to your own?

It’s hard to find signs of foul play when a body’s been underwater for a month.

He may have first amendment rights, but he can’t spell first amendment rights.

I read an article by this woman many years ago in Reader’s Digest. She described how she was ritually mutilated at the age of 8 or 9 with an old razor blade and held down by her own mother. That she eventually escaped the grinding poverty and slavery of her muslim background is a testament to the human will to be free.

She was brave to speak out on this subject long before the West began to have a clue.

Your comments cheapen YOU.

It's impossible to further cheapen a Taliban-appeasing quisling.

Apparently you have a reading comprehension problem. Or is it that your monitor is so spittle-flecked that you can't read?

The realization that the war against Islamic Fundamentalism is doing to bluenosery what the war against Naziism did to genteel anti-Semitism burns.

1 of 2 Paris judicial police said her body was found Thursday near the Garigliano bridge in Paris

What about the other Paris judicial police - where did they say her body was found?

That's confusing text...

All you leave behind is a reputation

Well, then, it would behoove you not to leave behind a reputation for being sympathetic to the repressive worldview of Islamic Fundamentalist barbarians.

She was a brave woman; anybody who opposes the Muslims on this, especially a woman, knows what the risks are. I bet some Muslim nutcase followed her home from the party or was waiting on her houseboat when she got there.

Pretty bad form to leave a steaming pile in some one else's living room and then whine like a baby when the owner of the living room you're soiling tells you to stop taking a dump on his carpet.

1 of 2 Paris Judicial Police

The other one is the Muslim Police, who not only found no problem with the finding, they took part in her month-long torture, rape and drowning.

...."I guess it all depends on how well you raise them."....

Bingo! That was my point. Look at how nmh would raise his. Almost guaranteed a rebel. Most likely would have piercings and tattoos to boot. I picture flames on the inside of her thighs just to make dad proud.
