Topless protesters disrupt Muslim conference, Paris

Whatever the topic of the convention may be, it was a peaceful discussion and was an opportunity for discussion.

The fact that this conference is even being held in Europe says it all to be honest.

The sooner we flush fundamentalism and religion down the toilet, the better off this world will be.

Good! The conference and the way they acted was EXACTLY why this protest NEEDED to happen. I salute FEMEN for standing up to what I believe are REAL issues. Not just the "free the nipple campaign" and the western ideas of feminism. We do need feminism in the west but it seemed like no one was brave enough to actually openly take a stand on middle east-religion etc in this way.

They caused outrage, that was the point! I don't understand why people don't seem to understand that.

Also Beating them and calling them whores? disgusting vile behaviour.

That was just shameful. Why did they storm the place topless? What was the need? Protest outside but don't disrupt a family event.

Completely agree

We can expect to see more and more of this and more demonstrations against extremist events like this and the people that host them.

I do hope we get to the stage where every one of these events is disrupted in such a way

The fact that children were there, listening to a wife beating conference makes me feel sick.

@Tooly

I hope you guys do realize children are allocated into another room during many conferences. They instead are told stories of the prophet; much like Sunday school. However, there are a few children who "want to be with their parents" and follow them to discussions. Obviously you will assume stuff since you guys never went to a conference held by muslims. Stop trying it mate.

Agreed. I hope we do also, but since watching the video yesterday admittedly I can't get over the shock of witnessing what I witnessed.

"A family event"... On whether wives should be beaten or not.

But lets be honest, children or no children, doesn't make the topic of their discussion okay, does it?

No. They have their rights to freedom of speech sure, but that doesn't make it acceptable by any stretch.

You shouldn't need a discussion as to whether wife-beating is OK.

Any person with a shred of decency should be able to understand why beating someone else is wrong.

Read my other comment you mug.

They were being taught about misconceptions.

I see no point in arguing with someone who is Anti-religion.

Because they decide what they do or don't do with their body

Now, now, there's no need to get upset.


"Misconceptions"? To what conclusions did they come to - when/how is it permissible for a man to beat his wife?


I am proudly opposed to religion and the odious ways in which it propagates, and manifests, itself.

In the same way that I oppose other vile ideologies, such as Nazism.
