Woman beat up in a park in France for wearing a bikini

French social networks exploded with anger after a young woman was reportedly beaten up by a gang of girls and young women for wearing a bikini in a park.

Authorities have not identified the attackers but most commentators have assumed that they were Muslims.

Protesters organised a demonstration in bikinis and other bathing costumes in the park where the attack occurred, in Reims in northern France. Although drizzle and cold winds meant only about a dozen people turned out, hundreds across France responded to a Twitter appeal by the anti-racist organisation SOS Racisme to post images of themselves or others wearing skimpy bathing costumes in public places, under the hashtag #jeportemonmaillotauparc (I wear my swimsuit in the park).

The five attackers, aged 16 to 24, were quickly arrested and the three oldest have been remanded to appear in court in September, while two girls aged 16 and 17 face further questioning. The authorities have not named them but said that they all came from housing estates with large Muslim populations.

It is not yet clear whether their unnamed 21-year-old victim was of French or north African origin. She was sunbathing with two friends in the Parc L

As a European, what is your take on this Nick

As a human, I believe that women should have the right to wear bikinis and not be physically harmed.

They seem to be far more anti-muslim.

They seem to be far more anti-muslim.

I've noticed an uptick in anti-muslim sentiment in France in the last two years or so.

France is fighting back with their 'can't pray in the middle of the street law' (not sure what they actually called it).

Should be interesting.

Europe is a beautiful country that is welcoming to all people and faiths who hail from unfortunate and impoverished lesser areas of the globe. Europeans would do well to adapt these new immigrants' beautiful and loving cultures which of course are all superior to European culture. If it wasn't for the Muslims, Europe would not have the number zero and math and Europe would never be what they are today.

It's good to know we have smart Europeans like Nick Young on this forum. It really brings variety.

Yes. My country, Europe, has traditionally been the centre for free-thought in the known world. We need strong European ideas in this world to be fused with exciting new African, Asian and Middle Eastern ideas, in order to create a more beautiful world.

Was she hot?

Was she hot?

I will not dignify your misogynistic and fascist statement with a retort.

She's not beat up for wearing bikini. Wearing bikini only got her verbally abused. She's beat up because she must've shouted back something nasty.

I mean for instance if a black person said "hey you shouldn't be wearing bikini there are kids around. Have some shame." then you say "Shut up you n!gger slave porch monkey all of you can go back to the jungle." then...I'd say you kinda ask for it.
