Related: About this forumTopless Feminists Hijack Muslim Conference, Get Tackled / Kicked In the Ribs
They should have lathered themselves in pork grease so the Muslims couldn't touch them.
--------------------------------
Two topless feminists have stormed the stage at a Muslim conference in France. The activists, from hard-line feminist outfit Femen jumped on stage, with Nobody makes me submit scrawled across their bare chests. The most prominent protester shouted, Nobody makes me submit, me nobody owns me, Im my own prophet! before being dragged and kicked off the stage by angered Muslims.
The video, below, shows the incident that took place at the Muslim Salon in Pontoise, France, a town just outside of Paris, which ended violently according to one eyewitness.
The activists stormed the stage, leading to two embarrassed looking Muslim men shuffling off stage smirking while clearly trying to get an eye-full, before more violent men took to the stage to shove them over, eventually kicking the women off the side of the stage.
Femen protesters are best known for their targeting of Christian iconography and representatives, such as the desecration of crucifixes in St. Peters Square, or baring their chests in churches.
The group was founded in Ukraine in 2008, but has since become a Europe-wide phenomenon.
In 2013 the group burned the ISIS flag in front of the Great Mosque in Paris.

It's where all humans come from after all.

Don't necessarily agree with the action, but LOVE the chutzpah!
NO-ONE CAN SUBJUGATE ME!
"Dirty whores, kill them!"
The "two imams were talking about the issue of whether or not to beat one's wife," when the two activists aged 25 and 31, mounted the stage, said Inna Shevchenko, spokesperson for Femen in Paris.
In Arabic and French, they shouted the same slogans painted on their breasts and backs: "No-one subjugates me, no-one owns me, I am my own prophet."
The two young women were of Algerian and Tunisian origin, said the spokeswoman for Femen. Immediately, shouts of "Dirty whores, kill them!" reverberated again and again around the hall and "fifteen men jumped on the stage and overpowered them", says Inna Shevchenko, who was grateful that the police intervened quickly to protect the women.
