French Waitress Assaulted by Muslims for Serving Alcohol on First Day of Holy Month of Ramadan


France has been plagued by Muslim fundamentalists who have destroyed life and property in the name of Allah.  From the Charlie Hebdo in January of 2015 to the attacks in Paris the took the lives of 130, Islam has disrupted the peace of the citizens, while claiming to be a religion of peace.

One waitress was attacked by two Muslim men who were irate that she would serve alcohol on the first day of the holy month of Ramadan.  To fundamentalists, their religion should be forced upon all, not withstanding the religious protection and freedom granted by the French government.

A waitress in a cafe in central Nice has filed a police complaint after she was allegedly assaulted by two men because she refused to “stop serving alcohol” on the first day of the holy month of Ramadan.

The alleged beating in the French Riviera town historically famed for its sun, palm-fringed beach front and quality of life, has prompted a heated political debate over whether the country is increasingly becoming prey to “religious fundamentalism and ghettoised communities”.

The waitress, a French 30-year-old of Tunisian origin, said she was serving drinks at Monday lunch on the terrace of the Vitis Café on Nice’s rue Lamartine, near the rue d’Anglais, when two men started haranguing her, insulting the young woman because she was serving alcoholic beverages to customers.

“I was all alone in the bar when two passers-by suddenly appeared. They pointed to the bottles of alcohol behind the bar, then one of them told me in Arabic: ‘You should be ashamed of yourself serving alcohol in the Ramadan period.’


Muslims will abstain from drinking, eating, smoking and sex from dawn to dusk during Ramadan to honor the Prophet Mohammed and his revelation.  They only eat a meal before dawn, which is called suhur and break their fast with the after sunset meal of iftar.

The attack on the waitress prompted her to go to the bar’s owner, Nacim who encouraged her to file a “legal complaint for voluntary violence”.

“I”m so scared. I find it hard to understand. Why did they insult me? Why this slap? I feel debased, humiliated, sullied. I don’t want other women to have be victims of such an attack,” said the young women, herself a Muslim who observes Ramadan.

“It’s not because I serve alcohol that I’m not fulfilling my (religious) duty,” she said. “I do it because I’m a waitress. In Tunisia, I did the same job and never had the slightest problem,” she told Nouvel Obs.

“I didn’t think that in France, country of liberty, I would have been assaulted like that.”

The men have been identified and one is an illegal migrant who has a reputation for threatening those in the district.

The district has had religious threats as an on-going issue.  Three me, back in October of 2014, threatened a baker who was selling ham sandwiches.  In their eyes, he was not a good Muslim.  The men were given a six-month sentence.

This latest incident sparked angry reactions from local Right and far-Right politicians who saw it as a sign the country’s fundamental values were being undermined.

Eric Ciotti, MP with the Republicans, Nicolas Sarkozy’s conservative party, said: “This attack should be placed in a national context that has seen a constant rise in religious fundamentalism and ghettoised communities.”

“No act of this nature is anodyne,” he went on. “Each attack like this strikes a severe blow against the values of the French Republic.”
