The case has shocked France and was branded by a female government minister as a ‘grave crime’ and an ‘intolerable affront to women’s dignity.’ All four of the victims, now aged between 11 and 20, were in court to hear the sentence and wept and cried out as their parents were led away from the dock.
Daily Mail The unnamed father was sentenced to two years and his wife got 18 months for allowing a ‘doctor’ to remove parts of their vaginas. They were charged with ‘complicity in voluntary violence having led to mutilation by an older person of a minor under the age of 15 years’ , a crime punishable by a maximum of 20 years jail.
The father was said to be a ‘ marabout’ – an Arabic word for an Islamic ascetic holy man alleged to be endowed with magical powers. The couple originally came from the west African state of Guinea where according to a 2007 study, 96 per cent of young girls have their genitals mutilated in the name of religion.
At the trial in Nevers, central France, the two youngest victims had declared themselves plaintiffs under French law but the elder girls withdrew their complaint and sided with their parents.
Nathalie Bouvier-Longeville, a lawyer representing the two youngest sisters told the court: ‘ By what right were the parents able to appropriate parts of their daughters’ bodies? The two eldest girls defended their parents action, saying that they did not understand why they were appearing in court.
The former holy man, told the judge ,’ What is the most important thing for me is the wellbeing of my family. I am sorry for what happened.’
Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, 35, Minister of Women’s Rights in the new government of François Hollande, has now pledged a crackdown on the illegal practice. She vowed to track down what she called ‘ executioners’ who have performed covert surgery on an estimated 50,000 young girls in France.
I say rounding them all up and kicking them all out is the best policy. Why should the french have to pay for them to be in prison out of their taxes?
Very good point Emma. Here is another reason to kick them all out:
Lyon: three young Jews wearing yarmulkes attacked with a hammer and iron bar
Three young Jews wearing skullcaps were attacked Saturday night in Villeurbanne, a suburb of Lyon, by a dozen individuals who beat them with hammers and iron bars, acts “extremely serious” denounced by the Minister of the Interior Manuel Valls.
One of the youths assulted had an open wound to the skull and a young girl was hit in the neck, according to the Ministry of Interior. Briefly hospitalized, they were all released from the hospital Saturday night with five days of temporary total interruption of work, the police told AFP.
Manuel Valls described the anti-Semitic attack “extremely serious” and reiterated “his determination to fight against any aggression of a religious nature”.
“These acts are extremely serious a deliberate attack against our republican model that should enable everyone, without distinction, to live freely and safely religious affiliation,” said the Interior Ministry.
“Manuel Valls ensured the full mobilization of police on site so that the perpetrators of this assault are, as required by the laws of the Republic, arrested and placed at the disposal of justice,” he added.
The incident occurred Saturday about 18:30 near the Beth Menachem Jewish School of Villeurbanne. Three young Jews twenty years, wearing a yarmulke was “insulted and jostled by three individuals.”
The assailants, joined minutes later by “ten people” armed, returned to the load. This was followed by an “exchange of blows” during which “two of the three young” received “a hammer and a blow with an iron bar at the head,” police said. The third youth was hit in the arm.
Upon leaving the hospital, the three victims filed complaints after being interviewed by police, who opened an investigation.
Police said additional patrols have been assigned to Villeurbanne to “strengthen the security sector.” For now, no arrests had taken place.
Lyons confirmed the police had not wished to make public the Sunday night attack, made public by Mr. Valls, citing “secret investigation” for reasons of efficiency. “We are looking for authors in the utmost discretion,” said a police official.
The National Bureau of Vigilance against Anti-Semitism (BNVCA) reacted to this “anti-Semitic violent assault”. The attackers, described as “of North African origin”, have “insulted in connection with the Jewish religion” of the victims before assaulting them physically, as BNVCA.
“We ask the police to make every effort to identify and question the authors, that victims are able to recognize,” it added in a statement.
“It is the twenty-first century and we have young people who are assaulted with blows from iron bars and a hammer because they wear a yarmulke,” responded Alain Jakubowicz, Chair of Licra and a lawyer in Lyon, told AFP .
Referring to the fact that the attackers appear to be of North African origin, he called to “be wary of racial profiling,” while the investigation remains ongoing, while evoking the tensions between Arab and Jewish communities around the Israeli- Palestinian conflict, “with the identification of the Jewish Zionist”.
This appeared on Orange from AFP this morning and notice PC “North African”
instead of moslem! Also as I read the comments on the story it was appaling to me to see how many people blamed the Jews for this attack. Some said “yarmulke = provocation! What a world!
Dubi, please include a link when you post from another website.
Hi Bonni, It was from Orange which is my server for internet and is France Telecom. I google translated it and did some corrections to the translation. I don’t know how I could include the link. The original came from Agence France Press. Maybe Alain knows how to do this better than me.
Dubi, it’s OK, no need.
Four guilty of Danish plot over Muhammad cartoons
The court heard the men wanted to kill a large number of people in revenge for the paper’s publication of cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad in 2005.
The four were all Muslims resident in Sweden

Yet, our liberal politicians and citizens seem to welcome this “religion” with open arms. I find it had to believe with all the education “liberals” have can’t tell you what dhimmi means or the difference between a liberal of today and a libertarian.
why not practice on the male muslims first
and especially all the lovely clerics who condone this barbaric act that would stop it very quickly.And use a very blunt knife.
I agree.
The muzzies got it ass backwards!! Thats not a surprise.
The men are to be circumcised, not the women!!!!! IDIOTS
Yes, this will soon be in America. At first there will be outrage, but soon the liberals will declare that those opposed are bigots and racist, and should learn to be more tolerant. As we then see the Muslim population grow and the demand for politicians to protect the rights of the poor oppressed Muslims, we will see laws being made that not only give the right to commit these atrocities, but make it mandatory that all girls undergo mutilation., Muslim or not. Welcome to them new world!
Jerry, it already is happening but we don’t hear about it. Have you noticed all the raghead ‘doctors’ in Emergency Rooms lately? If ObamaDeathCare goes thru, no smart American will want to become a doctor for the State, therefore, we will have to import third world docs who will work for low wages.
Already see it. I have many friends who are doctors and they also recognize what is happening. One in particular is from India and has confessed to me in private that the reason she moved to America was to get away from the Muslim threat only to fin d it is here! She knows first hand how dangerous Islam is and herself is trying to warn others.
Jerry, I wish we could hear more from expats from Muslim areas.
Off topic. Does anyone have an update on the Iraqi Trailer Tramps AKA 1,000,000 Hijabs? That story seems to have taken a quick ride down the memory hole.
LK, the story is dead and buried, no doubt after they realized that a family member had killed her. The family went to Iraq until things cooled down, but now they are back.
I was hoping they would stay in Iraq.
Inbred savages. The type moving to the USA. It will probably be challenged, but good ole sharia law was pretty much banned in my state of Kansas. What kind of a rock do these assholes crawl out from under?
Two years ?! What a sham ! I think the government should have approriated parts of his anatomy too.
Then he could proudly climb up his minoret and sing out his yodel-ladee-hoo five times a day in a fine suprano voice.
Normative Islam abuses women.
FGM cannot be removed from Islam, because the psychopathic, plagiarizing, pedophile pirate supported it.
Women are ‘domestic animals’ in Islam, so a Mozman has the right to be cruel and ‘brand them’ with FGM.
Women are mistreated in Islam, so they won’t get uppity and step out of line.
It is legal in Islam to beat women up and honor-kill them. Sharia law has no punishment for honor-killing.
When the evil deed was done, the victims didn’t want to be victimized further by losing their parents.
Video (VO-French) :
He says it’s the prophet that orders it to contain her sexual desire and it’s fine this way. She’ll be like her mother.
At the end, the commentator says the girl is now clean.
Susan, disgusting. These are not humans, they are barbarians.
This is just for show. If people don’t continue to protest this crap then the Gov. will quiety brush this under the carpet again.
Pressure must stay on and be unrelenting.
I was wondering how come it took 50,000 girls to be thrown under the bus before any action? who’s kidding who?
ICE, I think the problem is that most don’t use doctors to do it but rather what I like to call female clit-cutters, who often use unsterilized tools and are unlicensed. Don’t know where they got the 50,000 number if there are no official records. I have no doubt there were at least that many, but how did they get that number?
These four young girls have been betrayed
twice – once by their parents and once by the
white people of France whose moral cowardice
and cultural relitivism allowed this crime to
take place.
Every time i read how “white supremisists are
vile” – I ponder – are they vile enough to do
this?
These four girls cannot be made whole again
by this token sentance, or their memories
wiped clean of the pain and terror they suffered, will this sentance deter others?
What GREATER crime can a white western “liberal” society perform on innocents than to turn away – in silence – from their suffering?
Is not the toleration of evil, for a quiet
life,also a crime?
Is that all ? 18 months ? I think socialist “justice” has started to do its job !! to help muSSlims to carry out their criminal procedures…in fact…18 months in a comfortable prison is rather a reward than a punishment.
An essential aspect and source of unrest for the european citizens are the socialist judicial system and socialist judges.
All of them must be changed ina way or the other and believe me….no by means of words and dialog but only and exclusively by extreme violent means.
Someone somewhere must unite all of us in a single army operating on all levels.
It´s not a personal question…..it is the future of our children.
