"The French Society of Dramatic Authors and Composers says it is worried that freedom of expression is under threat in France."
There's more where that came from. "Playwright petrol attack handed to terrorist police," from RFI, January 15:
An investigation into an attack in Paris on the Algerian actress and playwright Rayhana has been handed over to anti-terrorist police. The investigators suspect the attack was linked to Rayhana's play, A mon âge, je me cache encore pour fumer, which focuses on the treatment of women in Algeria.
The 45-year-old was attacked on Tuesday night outside the theatre in Paris where her play is showing. Two men insulted her in Arabic and poured petrol over her. They then threw a cigarette at her, which failed to ignite.
The prefecture of police confirmed what it called an attempted homicide. A judicial source said the preliminary investigation is being launched under the anti-terrorist section of the brigade criminelle, or crime unit.
Covered in petrol, Rayhana performed her play regardless. She has lived in France since 2000, when she left Algeria fearing for her safety. She told the French media it was the first time she had been assualted since she took refuge in France, after leaving Algeria because of threats from Islamists.
Politicians and Muslim associations have expressed horror at the attack. The Minister of Culture Frédéric Mitterrand expressed sympathy and said he admired Rayhana's courage. The Secretary for Urban Affairs Fadela Amara described the incident was intolerable.
The Muslim association Foi et Pratique also joined in the condemnation of the assault, saying "nothing can prepare us for such acts and nothing can explain them".

The feminist movement Ni putes ni soumises will hold a demonstration tomorrow morning in front of the threatre.

Islam can explain such acts. Quite well, actually. Foi et Pratique knows this quite well, as well.

Rayhana must choose, is it freedom/arts/Jesus/God/Joy/Peace/Humanity/Co-existence OR Repression/NO art/Allah/Islam/radicalization/Death by followers/Kafir hunting/Islamic Supremacism and hegemony.
The choice is easy.

Now why on earth is this feminist movement going to protest in front of the theatre, the theatre isn't the problem. If they want to truly protest and highlight to source of the problem they should hold this protest in front of the Mosques on Fridays. Of course they would have to have lots of police protection (given the craven MC/PC status of the state). They might be better with some good old fashion Mafia goons ready to do violence to keep the Mohammedan in check. After all, the only thing that Mohammedan respect is some one willing to exhibit the same behavior or more of radical version of it.
“Upon this a question arises: whether it be better to be loved than feared or feared than loved? It may be answered that one should wish to be both, but, because it is difficult to unite them in one person, it is much safer to be feared than loved, when, of the two, either must be dispensed with.” Nicolo Machiavelli

This feminist movement is made up primarily of Muslim and ex-Muslim women who understand they're in a fight for their lives. Meanwhile, the old-line, Leftist, French feminists are - like their American counterparts - nowhere to be seen on occasions like this...they don't dare risk the accusation of racism. How's that for courage?
The larger issue here is that daily, Paris more and more resembles Algiers. Demography is mathematics; it's only going to get worse.
What riles me about 'Muslim Feminists' such as Rayhana is that she wants to have her cake and eat it too. She plays the diversity-ethnic card as a 'brown person' and gets a play produced that wouldn't otherwise get a second reading at a college workshop if it were not for her ethnicity. Then attacking the misogynist side of Islam is as essentially selfish as all feminism (by women) is intrinsically selfish. Look at Wafa Sultan who is a REAL feminist in that she speaks passionately as a human being and for all human beings against Islam.
what ever lack of creativity, Rayhana was able to push the islamic buttons therefore it moves up front the "end game of islam and their appologists.
Apparently not. But don't say we didn't try.
Well, actually, um ... yes. Something can. Mohammedanism!
I wonder what was their first clue?

If Rayhana is a Muslim, she is a co-dependent enabler of the same monster that is not only attacking her, but also attacking us. This makes her part of the problem. Same goes for the Muslim women of Ni poutes ni soumises.
Hesperdo has it exactly right. Why is this woman a Muslim? No woman should voluntarily have anything to do with Islam. I am sorry for this attack, but Rayhana, wake up!
If Rayhana is a muslim...
I looked aroun' on the net some and can find no mention of her religious affiliation, however, she is repeatedly described as an "Algerian feminist playwright and actress."
Hmmm...I'll look a little longer....
found this...
POLICE launched a terrorism investigation in Paris yesterday after two men tried to set fire to an Algerian feminist playwright and actress, who stars in a play said to portray Muslim men in an unflattering light.
Rayhana, 45, is appearing in and directing her own play about the oppression of women in Algeria. She was walking to a theatre in a north-eastern suburb of the city when she was insulted in Arabic and attacked. A fortnight ago, (two weeks...)she was approached in the same area by two men who said:
We know who you are, you miscreant whore. This is a warning.
Seems they were quite serious.
Nope...can find nothing that says one way or the other about her "faith"...but it seems highly unlikely that she is still a muslim when she is described as a feminist.
All that said, it's just too damned bad that she can't carry a nice little .45 caliber buddy in her pocket. The moment she had the gas sprayed on her she could have opened fire and removed two little jihadi scumbags from this earth. If she could carry concealed, I would gladly send her the bucks to get a nice little Glock 30.
And anyone who knows anything about gasoline will tell you that it's pert near impossible to get the stuff to light up with a cigarette. You can drop a lit cigarette in a cup of gas and it just goes out. good thing they didn't experiment first.
islam is a lie and
Truth is killing it.
You found some evidence that she is a muslim? I aint sayin' she is or is not...I'm just trying to determine if she is indeed still a muslim.
If so..then Hesperado is right for sure.... but... Is she muslim?
I've tried doing searches with the question stated in all kinds of ways and can determine nothing.
Surely someone out there can make that determination. Now I'm really curious.
islam is a lie and
Truth is killing it.
I don't know if the playwright is a Muslimah, but if she still is after having gasoline poured on her by some jihadis, I don't have a lot of sympathy.
Talk about your wake up call.

No kidding... Near death experiences tend to have a lasting affect.
And the war with Islam raged all through the night as the world slept.
Islamic source material must be put on trial. Islamic source manterial is the enemy in this ongoing World War III.
I am going to keep repeating this request until it is done or Islam is no more through whatever means it comes to an end.
"Now why on earth is this feminist movement going to protest in front of the theatre, the theatre isn't the problem. If they want to truly protest and highlight to source of the problem they should hold this protest in front of the Mosques on Fridays."
It is the illusion of activity, and little else. That feminist group is too cowardly to actually tackle the real problem, but does not want to appear completely oblivious to the attack. So, you get a meaningless demonstration.
"..insulted her in Arabic."
In the past, those wishing to visit France were encouraged to learn French.
In the future, it appears that those wishing to visit France should learn Arabic.
To those wishing to visit France, be aware that the French government has a list of 751 no-go areas for non-Muslims. See link below for sample.
Europe No More
I happen to believe that there is enough Biblical and scientific error, spiritual destitution, hate, discontent and criminality in the Islamic source materials to convince even the most dedicated Professional Wrestling fan that Islam is an interesting fiction if read and a dangerous monster if believed.
Exposure will sterilize Islam and minimize it to KKK, Nazi, Santa Claus, boogey man, world is flat, sun revolves around the earth levels.
You are on to it. Lee Harris discusses this propensity, "protest as theatre" in his piece from 2002:
http://www.hoover.org/publications/policyreview/3459646.html
Indeed, most protest in the Arab Street (i.e. streets controlled by Arabs, or Pakistanis or Turks or Iranians...) is pure street theatre. Or more aptly, a mass puppet show.
Doubly telling here since it is to be in front of a theatre.
Maybe Magdi Cristiano Allam or Wafa Sultan should write her a letter encouraging her to apostasise. Might as well be hung for a sheep (apostate) as for a lamb (blasphemer/ insufficiently-Islamic Muslim/ insufficiently-submissive Muslimah).
Covered in petrol, Rayhana performed her play regardless.
.................
This is a brave woman. Let's hope Western artists show this kind of bravery in the face of Muslim attempts to censor them.

B*llsh*t. Rayhana was attacked in Algeria—that is why she fled to France in the first place-and now enough Muslims have followed her north who intend to impose their repulsive ideology in the West as well.
There is no mystery over this attack—it is Muslim intimidation-threats and Jihad violence.
By the way, Foi et Pratique (Society for Faith and Practice) is the French form of Jamah-al-Tabligh—which was founded by the *Muslim Brotherhood*—which tells you about all you need to know about the sincerity of their 'condemnation' of this attack.
"...has been handed over to anti-terrorist police. "
It appears that the French realise this WAS a terrorist attack, as opposed to the American government, who want to put jihadists in the same cells as shoplifters.
But according to rafool obama, her right to wear a chador or hijab was never challanged. So women do have full rights in islamoland.
Yes, gravenimage, this is one brave woman. Whether or not she is Muslim, her bravery is remarkable.
With the accelerating population of Muslims all around the world, it won't be too long before Muslims fairly outnumber the non-Muslim world.
Check out the population stats...there is a video on Youtube....it's all about the population explosion going on in Muslim families.
Wellington! Where are you? I'm looking for your informed comments.
Sure, her bravery is remarkable, but not as remarkable as her diseased denial: she's standing lip-deep in De Nile and doesn't even realize it.
