Despite all medical efforts, a pregnant Muslim woman who was attacked by two Islamophobic men in the Paris suburb of Argenteuil on Thursday suffered a miscarriage and lost her baby, her lawyer said on Tuesday.

The 21-year-old Muslim woman, who was four months pregnant, was physically attacked by two men. The attackers first tried taking her headscarf off and later cut off her hair and tore part of her clothing. After she screamed out that she was pregnant, one of the attackers started kicking her in the stomach.

She was taken to Argenteuil hospital where she underwent treatment for injuries.

Daily Mail reported that the police said that the men had shouted racist insults at the woman, saying that the veil was no longer acceptable in France.

“Her husband called me this this afternoon. She lost the baby,” the lawyer told AFP news agency. He added that the family were devastated by the tragedy and would not be making any further comment.

French police officer involved in the investigation confirmed to AFP that she lost her baby.

The prosecutor for Pointoise, Yves Jannier, also said the woman had been kicked in the hip before she managed to flee.

In a related incident, another Muslim woman wearing a headscarf was also attacked three weeks ago in the same region of Paris.

Eccl 4:2~3 "Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive. Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun"

Mujitapha: may Allah punish the enemies of islam. In any form,Allah you know how to catch the wicked,give these pigs what they deserve.

chidindufrank: Nairaland is a partial forum. This topic made front page immediately it was posted.smh

What do u want? If it was ur sista whose story is being told where would u have wanted it?

whether her relatives or friends do the same everywhere, there's no justification for what has been done.

my heart goes out to the hurting husband...

Both the woman and the attackers are wrong.. They violated the laws of the land (France).

Was the woman attacked because of her muslim faith or was she a victim of hoodlums?

May God comfort the family for their loss

It is very sad she loss the baby.

Please what religion is practiced and acceptable in France?

Okija_juju:


Who is that demon that invented such a divisive weapon like religion..

Smart politicians at the time.

Smart politicians continue to use it.

Islamophobic

The word Islamophobia actually came up in 1997. I need to know what hatred towards other religions is called.

God forbid the day, Moslems will be attacked and killed the way Moslems attack and kill other people.

bukatyne: Was the woman attacked because of her muslim faith or was she a victim of hoodlums?

May God comfort the family for their loss

Attacking a woman, and not just a woman, but a PREGNANT woman? Cowards... As a christian, I can only say "Hang them by their ba11s till they pass away"

This happens to a lot of women everyday. It is getting a special attention because of the religion of the victim and the prospect of a violent backlash by its adherents which is usually as cowardly and despicable as the crime.

There are truly sick people in the world. How sad.
