Disabled Woman Set On Fire By French Muslims

The French Muslim riots just got uglier, as a 56-year-old handicapped woman was doused with gasoline and set afire by disadvantaged Muslim youths.

Disabled Woman Set On Fire In Riots (Sky News)

A handicapped woman was doused with petrol and set on fire by youths during another night of rioting in Paris. The 56-year-old suffered third degree burns to 20% of her body in the attack. Witnesses said a youth poured petrol over the woman and then threw a Molotov cocktail on to the bus she was travelling on in the suburb of Sevran.

Other passengers were able to flee but she was unable to escape because of her disabilities.

It was the worst incident so far in more than a week of rioting.

These thugs are “youths” in the sense that Rodney King was a “motorist.” It hardly seems an apt description.

FRANCE IS A CATHOLIC COUNTRY. IMMIGRANTS SHOULD NOT TRY TO CHANGE THIS. IN OTHER MUSLIM COUNTRIES CATHOLICS HAVE BEEN DENIED THEIR RIGHTS. SO WHY MUSLIMS ASK EQUAL RIGHTS IN A CATHOLIC COUNTRY?
