I cannot fathom the reason for this attack. Seriously, the more think about it, the more my brain hurts.

"The two men who attacked Rayhana attempted to set her on fire"

Are these people's irony meters turned off? I cannot fathom the reason for this attack. Seriously, the more think about it, the more my brain hurts.

And they want to impose sharia law on the entire world. I like what Pat Condell has to say about the entire Islamic slide toward barbarism and ignorance.

I hope her play makes it over to this side of the Atlantic sometime soon.

Despite the attack and the threats of violence, Rayhana is determined to continue performing her play.

Good for her. I hope her play makes it over to this side of the Atlantic sometime soon.

I've been doing a lot of translating for NPNS, and I hope to have their website up in English soon. The only thing -- I would translate mixite as desegregation. It can be racial desegregation -- the connotation of the word we're most familiar with in the US. Or, gender desegregation -- the primary sense of the word in France -- the mixing of the sexes in the public space. Pretty good, Ebon.

My French is a bit rusty, but I'll take a shot at translating these (with a little help from Google):

In the second photo: "Ne voilons pas Marianne" = "We will not veil Marianne"

Third photo: "Ni Putes Ni Soumises" = "Neither Whores Nor Submissives" (as Sarah said)

"Laïcité, égalité, mixité" = "Secularism, equality, coeducation"

Fourth photo: "Non aux régressions, non aux violences" = "No to regression, no to violence"

"Défendons les droits des femmes!" = "We stand for the rights of women!"

You criticize European Muslims - you get a brutal death. You advocate for immigration controls - you get accused of racism. Check and mate. The Muslims win. Or right wing nationalist parties use incidents such as this and the Muslims' extreme propensity towards violent crime (statistically speaking, of course they aren't <i>all</i> that way) to gain popularity. Either way, atheists and the left loose. It's "Submission" all over again. You criticize European Muslims - you get a brutal death. You advocate for immigration controls - you get accused of racism.
