Hundreds of police were deployed after Muslims rioted and torched many cars in Toulouse following a police stop requesting visual identification from a Muslim woman who was wearing an illegal full-face Islamic niqab. In case you don’t remember, Toulouse is the city, where an ISIS sympathizer slaughtered 4 Jews in cold blood at a synagogue school.

Breitbart Toulouse, France has been rocked by two nights of furious riots, triggered by the arrest of a Muslim woman who refused to remove her Islamic full-face veil for police. Some 18 people were arrested. There was clearly an intention to attack the police,” said district police officer Arnaud Bavois describing scenes of “great violence” during the riots.

Hundreds of police units were deployed after young residents threw stones, torched cars and set fire to garbage cans, police told the AFP. The clashes began on Sunday afternoon in the Toulouse district of Bellefontaine after a woman wearing a full-face veil – which has been illegal in France for several years – was stopped by the police for an identity check.

Police asked the woman for identification and when she presented a poor photocopy of her government identification, they ordered her to remove her veil, broadcaster Franceinfo reports . The woman refused to lift her veil and is said to have started screaming for help. She was then arrested and placed in the police vehicle.

Shortly after, around 30 local Muslims arrived and attacked the police with projectiles, injuring one officer. The officers retreated and discharged their weapons, including a tear gas launcher, 18 times before they could escape the mob. Police believe there may have been a link between the incident and the riots in Bellefontaine and the neighbouring district of Reynerie which erupted at around 8 pm.

Around 15 cars were torched by the rioters and 200 police mobilised during the riots which lasted several hours with some 300 tear gas grenades fired until calm was restored at around midnight. Firefighters were not able to reach the scene until after 10:30 pm due to residents lighting fires on the road. The police station in Bellefontaine was also targetted by rioters.

“The clashes were extremely violent,” said Didier Martinez of the peacekeeping union. “My colleagues were very shocked, the events were very complicated to manage but they showed a lot of composure.”

While some link the niqab incident to the riots, other sources have speculated that the apparent suicide of a prisoner on Saturday at the Seysses prison near Toulouse may have also sparked the violence.
