French Muslims anxious after attack leads to miscarriage
Some Muslims at her press conference sharply criticized the French media for using unsubstantiated anonymous sources which cast doubt on the victim’s story. They also asked why the victim herself had not interviewed by any French press. Press TV, however, interviewed the victim shortly after the attack. They also asked why the French coverage was skewed towards the sensational aspects of the crime, instead of relating them to the larger issues of repeated attacks and why they continue to take place.
French politicians have condemned the incident, but many say it’s just empty talk. One Muslim activist covered a baby doll with blood to illustrate the real-life consequences of the state’s repeated failure to protect Muslim women from ethnic violence.
There’s little doubt that fascist groups are rising in popularity. The far-right National Front recently topped the Socialists in a first-round by-election to replace a disgraced Socialist cabinet member. Besides widespread perceptions of corruption, voters said that at least the extreme right is providing an alternative to the poverty-inducing economic austerity of the two mainstream parties.
Many demonstrators say that it’s difficult to imagine that French politicians couldn’t foresee that the anti-burqa law could empower some right-wingers to become violent vigilantes. Many French Muslims insist that, in order to prevent more violence against women, the government should take the radical step of repealing the anti-burqa law.

Topless Tunisian protester at the center of controversy
Conflicting reports on the whereabouts of a young Tunisian woman have circulated following her participation in the “sextremist” collective, Femen. On March 11, Amina Tyler, a 19 year-old Tunisian posed for Femen. Marking the organisation’s presence in the North African country, Tyler posed semi-nude with the words “My body belongs to me, it is not the source of anyone’s honour” written across her torso.
Adel Almi, leader of the conservative religious organisation Moderate Associate for Awareness and Reform, told Assabah News that her actions deserved 80-100 lashes, but may also warrant death by stoning. Following his comments, Femen representatives told Tunisian and international media that they had lost contact with Tyler and feared her missing.
Femen France: After we received this information, Femen activists tried to contact the young Tunisian to no avail. Her phone has been off. We fear for her life.
Femen representatives added that they were told Tyler had been taken to a psychiatric ward, a detail picked up by several media outlets including France 24 and PolicyMic.
In an interview with Tunisia Live, Tyler’s lawyer, Bouchra Bel Haj Hmida, denied those claims:
She is not missing and “has never been in a psychiatric facility,” Bel Haj Hmida told Tunisia Live, contradicting reports that surfaced last week and have been widely circulated on the internet.
It takes one topless Tunisian young lady to make the buzz now in Huffington Posts, now, worldwide. Another Tunisian lady just won the chemistry worldwide Olympiad and was awarded the title of best innovator of the year 2013.

Muslim women send message to Femen [News]
Muslim women have launched a campaign to send a message to “sextremist” collective Femen. “Muslimah Pride Day” was organized in response to Femen’s self-declared “Topless Jihad Day”, a day of topless protests around the world to support Tunisian Femen activist Amina Tyler.
The organisers of the counter-protest urged Muslim women to speak out for themselves and assert their diverse identities:

Whether we choose to wear hijaabs or not is nobodies business but ours. So please get clicking, get creative, get loud and proud. #Muslimapride

Turkey lifts headscarf ban in religious schools to secularists’ dismay
“These are all steps taken as a result of a demand.”
Rivalry between religious and secular elites is one of the major fault lines in Turkish public life.
Erdogan’s Islamist-rooted AK Party has tamed the influence of the military — the self-appointed guardians of secularism since the modern republic was founded in 1923 — over the past decade, but he denies an Islamist agenda.
Last month the military top brass attended a reception in the presidential palace alongside the headscarved wives of the president and prime minister, something that until recently would have been unthinkable.
DOGMA
The secularist newspaper Cumhuriyet said the latest reform was a step towards the Islamization of education.
“This will end with chadors,” a headline in the paper said.
The latest reform followed a law approved in March allowing “imam hatip” schools specializing in religious education combined with a modern curriculum to take children from the age of 11 instead of 15.
The Egitim-Sen education sector union was critical of the move on school uniforms and the headscarf.
“The changes in the clothing regulations are important in enabling us to see the intense degree to which the education system is being made religious,” the union said in a statement.
“Religious symbols which spread a religious lifestyle in schools and which will have a negative impact on the psychology of developing children should definitely not be used,” it said.
But others voiced support for the reform.
Gurkan Avcı, head of the Democratic Educators’ Union (DES), said it had removed a legacy of the Sept. 12, 1980, military coup by changing the dress code.
“We will not be able to rescue the education system from the perverse consequences of the oppression, rituals, dogma and thinking of the ‘cold war’ period until teachers and pupils are liberated,” he said.

Paris: police arrest four Muslim women
The scene, which was filmed by journalists from Le Parisien, a French daily newspaper covering both international and national news, took place at the Trocadéro, a square that stands across the river from the Eiffel Tower. The four women, including one wearing a headscarf, were checked for IDs before being escorted out of the square by dozens of police officers.
In the video one of the women says: “One of us is wearing a headscarf and policemen have just checked our IDs, there is no problem, but we have been asked to leave the square.”
“We were doing some sightseeing as our uncle is visiting us, and this is what happens,” another one adds. “Now we are forced to follow them so we can be interrogated,” she continues as the four women are being shoved by policemen.
At the end of the video, another woman, accompanied with an elderly woman wearing a scarf, says they were also banned from entering the square.
On Saturday dozens of police personnel were deployed in the area as a precautionary measure ahead of an anti-Islam film protest banned by the French authorities. Overall 50 people were arrested that day, including the four women in the video.
