A French waitress was allegedly assaulted by two Muslim men for serving alcohol during Ramadan.
The woman, a practising Muslim of Tunisian origin, was working on the terrace of the Vitis Café in Nice when she was reportedly insulted by two passers-by on Wednesday.
The men are said to have started to abuse her when they saw she was serving alcohol to customers, The Times reported.
She said one of the men screamed she was a “whore” and slapped her across the face, leaving her with a black eye after she was knocked to the ground.
The incident has been seized upon by the far-right as proof of the spread of radical Islam despite attempts to impose secular principles that underpin the French state.
Police said they had identified the men using CCTV but had yet to locate them.
The waitress, who did not give her name for fear of reprisals, said: “One of them said to me in Arabic: 'You should be ashamed of yourself for serving alcohol during Ramadan — if I was God I would hang you'”.
She replied: “You're not God and you cannot judge me."
The woman added she felt “degraded, humiliated and sullied” following the incident and noted she had previously served alcohol in Tunisia without any issue.
She said: “I didn't think that in France, the country of liberty, you could be attacked for that.”
Earlier this week it was reported that Vimto sales were set for a huge spike during Ramadan as Muslims make it a drink of choice thanks during the holy month.
Beautiful city on the French Riviera infected by Muslim crap.
What does it take to get through to some people? Does every single citizen have to personally have a negative encounter before what's in front of their faces is seen?
Concealed Carry can be so handy if needed.
That's a switch. Normally in France it's the waiters that are rude.
Hopefully that’s at least one Muslim vote for Le Pen.
Are there any actual examples today of other religions trying to force theirs upon others using violence? Not really. Everywhere they go, they think everyone must bow to their nonsensical beliefs.
Very good point. My heart goes out to the young lady and perhaps she thought the government would protect her?
Telling the French they can’t have wine with their meal because its Ramadan may FINALLY get them to rise-up.
Le Pen is a left wing whack job.
Considering the number of Muslim immigrants in the USA, I’m surprised that similar events don’t happen in CONUS. Or is there a 100% media filter, like there is on recreational firearms use? If something is not part of Official Reality The People will never hear about it.
That stock picture shows Old Nice, very near the water. I ate at the place with the red awnings, a few weeks ago. Great paella.
Looking up Vitis Café, it’s inland a fair distance close to the highway. FWLIW.
Here’s a link to the Google streetview of the address I came up with for Vitis Café.

When it comes to stopping the spread of Islamo-Fascism, Left or Right really doesn’t matter.
Rude waitstaff is not a problem I’ve had in Nice.
Free Pistol With Every Bottle of Wine!
I know, it’s mostly a stereotype. I’ve been to France twice and never had that experience neither.
I have a buddy who traveled to Europe and I $hit you not what is going over there with the No go zones and crap like this is real, in fact London where I used to live when my dad was in the U.S. Navy, parts of it look like the middle east now.
Well maybe not every citizen, but most for sure. There was a story up this morning about a Montana DoGooder bringing Muslims in and putting them on their welfare rolls, she couldn't understand why taxpayers were offended.
Keep taking it. Let your “leaders” prance around without ramification.
