Nine-months-pregnant Muslim woman beaten up by duo in France after she dropped her children off at school

[lego 44,165]

 

One of the attackers hit 29-year-old Kedidja, who was wearing a headscarf, several times and threw her to the ground as she dropped her two children off at school in Toulouse, La Depeche reports.

Her husband Munir says they grabbed her hair and pulled at her veil while yelling 'none of that here' at the nine-months-pregnant woman who is due to give birth in mid-April.

She is now recovering and her unborn baby is believed to be unharmed, but her husband revealed that she has not stopped crying since the attack on Tuesday morning.

 

He added: 'My wife had just put our two daughters to school, one in kindergarten and one in elementary school.

'Upon leaving, she met two young men. One of them grabbed her hair, pulled on her veil and insulted her.

'After the final few blows and a some more insults - including death threats - the two boys ran away, leaving her extremely shocked.' 

The assailant's friend reportedly stopped the attack from continuing before the pair shouted racist abuse and threatened to kill her.

 

33-year-old Munir described himself and his wife as 'French and Muslim' said the men took offence to the headscarf even though she was dressed conventionally in tracksuit bottoms and a jacket.

Their local MP Christophe Borgel was outraged after hearing about the attack and claims that it was 'without a doubt' racially motivated.

He told The Local: 'I was shocked to learn of this attack. This French woman of Muslim faith was attacked because she was wearing the traditional headscarf.'

'France does not tolerate any kind of racist attack, France will not tolerate any kind of aggression based on the religion of one of its citizens.

 

'I condemn this act of extreme cowardice and inhumanity in the strongest terms.'

There was a similarly violent incident in June 2013 when a pregnant Muslim woman was assaulted in the suburbs of Paris by two alleged 'skinheads' for wearing a face-veil.

The woman tragically suffered a miscarriage but it remained unclear with she lost her baby directly because of the attack.

 

French authorities have been concerned by a rise in Islamophobia since the horrific terror attacks in Paris in January.

In the two weeks following the shootings there were 128 anti-Muslim incidents registered, which is almost the same number as in the whole of 2014.

Didn't they ban the hijab in France? Or was it only the burqa and anything else that covers the face? 

How disgusting. Sad that people can't even walk outside without fearing to be attacked due to their culture.

The headscarf is banned in schools, government buildings and I saw recently sign - hospitals! Not on the street. Full face veil is banned everywhere.

I'm sure the stress from this will somehow affect the baby. Poor woman can't stop crying. I can imagine...

​It's so weird to me since here in the US none of that is banned and we've survived. 

But then again Europeans could say the say about the gun laws here lol.
