“Moderate” Tunisia: Muslims beat French councillor because of his wife and daughter’s summer clothes

15

A French councillor of Tunisian origin on Wednesday said he was beaten by devout Muslims in Tunisia because his wife and daughter's clothing were seen as provocative…  and they condescend to us about tolerance. Again, why are the media and the political elite carrying water for the most extreme and radical ideology on the face of the earth?

A French councillor of Tunisian origin on
Wednesday said he was beaten by religious extremists in Tunisia because
his wife and daughter's clothing were seen as provocative.

Jamel Gharbi, a councillor in the
north-western city of Le Mans, said that he and his family were
strolling around the northern coastal Tunisian town of Bizerte August 16
when they came across a group of men with the long beards and tunics of
ultra-conservative Salafi Muslims.

“I saw they were looking at them
(his wife and daughter) with hate because of their summer clothes, even
though there was nothing provocative about them (the clothes),” he was
quoted by the Lemainelibre.fr, a Le Mans news site, as saying.

“They told us we were in an Islamist country and I quickly understood things were going to degenerate,” he said.

“I cried out to my wife and
daughter to run. They then pounced on me and struck me with their fists,
feet and sticks,”
he added.

Gharbi, 62, said he had reported the attack to police and cut short his visit to Tunisia.

These Salafists are on a power trip. They look at people with hate then threaten them then beat them. Maybe the whole family should have run as soon as they saw these bearded men with contemptuous looks. That if they could not confront them. I think these fanatics are like street thugs roaming around seeing who is weak and who they can intimadate. What are summer clothes, nonburqa clothes? Would that be like a sundress? Maybe these men should spend more time with their wives instead of worrying about what other women are doing, then they won’t be so easily provoked by what they are wearing.
They must have sex on their minds constantly to be provoked so easily. What a pack of perverts and degenerates. They need to grow up and gain some self control.

This worthless country only exists because Christians patronize it.

There should be a limit to being in denial!
If the expatriate muslims choose to ignore what their brothers are doing in the European countries they have invaded, not to mention what has been going on in their country of origin since the arab spring, and decide to return there on vacation, they richly deserve what’s happened to them.

Why would any human being ever visit an islamo country? Except fearless CHRIStians to bring them to CHRIST.

They must beat the man because he’s the presumed owner of the women livestock accompanying him.

Islam, at it’s core, is designed to make the landscape hostile to any Godly person, thing, or idea. Think of it as the anti-Holy Spirit.

It is now not safe for westerners to visit any muslim country! I have warned my family to stay away from going on holiday to any muslim countries.
It is a sad state of affairs but safety is the key!
Women are especially unsafe because of these sad, pathetic excuses for men who either cannot keep their hands off women in normal dress or who would seek to beat them for any slight misdemeanour according to the ridiculous laws they decide to make to show their prowess over defenceless women!

To all those SAVAGES,
Why dont you stop accepting aids / support from Kafirs?
You need our money and want to attack us.
Dear Obama,
Are you funding them to attack Christians?
Is America still on the foundation which the founding fathers and the martyers intended?
Why Obama? Why? Why have you turned it to a den of thieves?
Afganisthan? Pakistan? Turkisthan? Iran? Iraq? in which Muslim country do you find peace? But PIECE OF CHRISTIANS.
Mr Obama , Can you kick tunisians and Terrosists (your relatives) out of US? It is an open challenge.
