A French waitress was allegedly assaulted by two Muslim men for serving alcohol during Ramadan.
The woman, a practising Muslim of Tunisian origin, was working on the terrace of the Vitis Café in Nice when she was reportedly insulted by two passers-by on Wednesday.
The men are said to have started to abuse her when they saw she was serving alcohol to customers, The Times reported.
She said one of the men screamed she was a “whore” and slapped her across the face, leaving her with a black eye after she was knocked to the ground.
The incident has been seized upon by the far-right as proof of the spread of radical Islam despite attempts to impose secular principles that underpin the French state. [Evening Standard] Read more
