A Muslim woman in her 30s is dead after her hijab and hair became caught in a subway-station escalator. A bystander found the woman lying at the base of the escalator at Fabre metro station.
Good news for the folks in Quebec who are trying to pass the Charter of Values which would ban most religious attire in public buildings.
Edmonton Sun (h/t Susan K) When first responders arrived, the woman was unresponsive. “We tried to perform resuscitation on site, but we weren’t able to save her,” paramedic Bob Lamle told QMI Agency.
The exact circumstances of the woman’s death weren’t immediately clear, but Montreal police spokesman Jean-Pierre Brabant said it appeared “her headscarf and her hair got stuck in the escalator.”
UPDATE: For all your doubters who said the woman was not Muslim and not wearing a hijab, here is further confirmation:
Global News The Quebec coroner’s office has confirmed the identity of the woman who died in a tragic accident in the Montreal metro on Thursday. She was Naima Rharouity, a 47-year-old of Moroccan descent and a mother of two.
A left wing journalist from Canada’s National Post is condemning the few who did correctly identify her as a hijab-wearing Muslim and smearing them as “Islamophobes.”
National Post (by Ethan Cox) Last Thursday morning, a 48-year-old (Muslim) woman, Naima Rhertouity from Morocco, died tragically in Montreal, after the scarf (hijab) she was wearing became caught in the escalator at a downtown metro station.
Almost immediately, the Journal de Montréal printed the headline they would stand by: “Strangled by her hijab,” referring to a head covering worn by many Muslim women, which has become something of an obsession for proponents of the Parti Québécois government’s Charter of Values. By early afternoon the hijab story was gaining so much steam that the police felt the need to (dishonestly) deny it, with spokesperson Jean-Pierre Brabant leaving the following statement on their media line: “A lot of people are talking about a hijab. The information that I have is that it’s a scarf.” (Photo of the woman in hijab above)
By Thursday, the Quebecor media properties (of which the Journal is a part) were alone in reporting the fact that the woman was entangled by a hijab, with other media outlets reporting that it was a scarf. Rather than retract, the Journal doubled down, with later versions noting that the police were denying the woman’s hijab caught, but insisting that they had two sources confirming it was a hijab.
But did these two officers see a hijab? Or did they see a scarf and let their over-eager imaginations, primed by months of public debate over the proposed Charter of Values, see what they wanted to see?
The day after the accident, the victim was identified as Naima Rharouity, a mother of two who was taking French classes, despite having recently emigrated from French-speaking Morocco, to better integrate into Quebec society. As it happens she did wear a hijab; as it also happens, witnesses indicate it was her long scarf which became caught. But the real question is, why does it matter? (Because it demonstrates that she has no intention of integrating into Quebec society)
“It’s upsetting to me that there’s so much emphasis on the hijab and the fact that Rharouity was a Muslim,” a friend of the victim told the Montreal Gazette’s Christopher Curtis. “Her hijab would have been tucked neatly under her winter coat and a long scarf. I spoke to the person who was next to her when it happened and she says it was a scarf that got caught. I wear a hijab, too, and it just seems impossible that it could ever get caught in an escalator.” (Yet it did!)
Comments on social media, such as one which celebrated the death and expressed hope it would lead Muslims to learn their lesson about not wearing the hijab in Quebec, are indicative of the prejudice stirred up by this case. Another said simply enough “one less terrorist in Quebec.” (Or one less breeder of one)
In the case of such a human tragedy, should we not put aside the petty political point-scoring, and the scarcely-veiled racism (What ‘race’ is Islam?), for long enough to acknowledge that a woman died, a fact equally tragic no matter what religion she practiced? Ultimately, the responsibility was on the Journal’s editors to exercise restraint (So now, hiding the truth is considered ‘restraint?’), rather than reach for the most inflammatory headline available to them. (Only inflammatory because it’s demonstrates the need for the Charter of Values which Muslims and leftists don’t like) Instead, they emptied a jerry-can of gasoline all over the tinderbox that is Quebec today, and lit a match. (Ewwww, telling the truth is now a firestorm)
Even escalators don’t like them.
It’s the jinns.
Bahahahaaa.. Too funny!
This is a good news sharing. Ban all bag wearers. All support for the Quebec Charter of values. BNI, I liked your put down of the idiot now banned kim.
I have a mobile wood chipping business , I need workers, only Muslims need apply!
Long Beards and Hijabs an Advantage.
One other consideration would be that if anyone other than a member of her family dared touch her in an effort to save her, then the woman (if she had been saved) would have to endure an Islamic Honor killing. At the very least she would be in for an acid bath or nose removal. And the poor buffoon who rescued the lady would, no doubt, face some sort of jihad against him and his family.
Therefore watching her die would be the only safe alternative. Sucks to be her.
MM, I’m sure there is CCTV of it. I hope my Canadian readers will send me updates if there are any.
Sort of like an inadvertent snuff flick.
LK, LOL
Where does a muslim woman go when she dies? Is there a paradise for her as for muslim men? I read that hell is full of women and the fire of hell is stoked with black people. Such a loving religions is Islam….
Where does a muslim woman go when she dies? Not on an escalator if she’s got any sense………Oh stop it,this is going to be one of those stories that keeps on giving and giving…….
as muslim who knows how the hijab attached I find this incident very strange ….is she walking on her head ??
I smell a frivolous lawsuit against Montreal Metro.
I hope there is a lawsuit. Of course, it would depend on the wording in the suit, but it would likely provide further evidence to all of the delusional and pathological psychology of the muslin brain. Jihadi, or any dhimmi, lawyers involved would look like the supremacist fools they really are. Would love to see the presiding judge tell them, “Shut the F**K up.”
My guess is if there is a lawsuit it will be by their family and not on behalf of Islamic organizations. They stand more to gain by keeping their mouths shut I would imagine…
Yes, I know the Edmonton Sun (not a reliable source IMHO) says hijab, but the body of the story just says head scarf. And no other newspaper mentions hijab.
You know what Andrew, you are a troll and I don’t like the name you are using so you are now banned.
Nice. Ban the trolls!
Andrew is obviously a Muslim. It is hilarious how they are already in “damage control mode”.
RB, must be studying with the Obama Regime.
The Québécois French media, all newspapers and T.V., are saying ‘HIJAB’. Two witnesses confirming hijab. Might be ‘abaya’ also, but clear mention of hijab.
NEVER EVER LOOK AT CBC. THEY OUTRIGHT LIE SOMETIMES.
Forget the Anglo media. Worthless, except Sun News, who tell the truth.
The Toronto sun mentioned that it was a hijab as well
I have not seen any indication in any news story about this incident that the woman was muslim. Lots of women in Montreal wear scarves in the winter. Please list the source of your information.
I did, at the top. Edmonton Sun. It was also in several other Canadian newspapers. They are calling it a hijab, only muslims wear hijabs, idiot.
Hysterical the lengths to which the BBC article on this story goes to hide the facts that it was a Muslim in a headbag. Nothing that might portray anything having to do with Islam in a negative (honest) way. It’s laughable! When I read this on BBC, I stupidly assumed by the intentional agenda-driven omissions it was a white woman wearing a winter scarf to keep warm.
Texan, that’s why all the MSM are losing their audience.
I just read the news on the Daily Mail. The woman was wearing a hijab and has a Muslim name… her hijab and hair got caught in the escalator and she was strangled. They are going to check the cameras to find out what caused the accident.
ANDY: That’s because you don’t understand French. It happened in Québec. Reliable sources will be in FRENCH.
Voilà tout en français, edité par la presse de Montréal….
Happy now??

I don’t want the abused women dying – I would rather see it be Male Mussies beards getting caught, instead!!!
A fine mind once advised to ‘choose ones enemies carefully, lest one become as they are…’
Yet we must fight fire with fire – which brings me back to Christ’s – ‘be as cunning as serpents and innocent as doves…’ and ‘better a millstone be cast around his neck and he be drowned than he injure the innocence of a child…’
I am really sorry for that woman – either born or coerced into that vile cult, and with no option to leave with her life an limbs intact.
Hard enough in Christian countries for women to leave abusive spouses…
Back to Islam – a serpent in the bosom of civilization; a ravening wolf in sheep’s clothing ; a vicious cult of murder, rape, child rape, plunder, arson, theft, corruption, etc., masquerading as a ‘religion’ …
And the West has put out the red carpet for its destroyers…
Lol!!!! Sorry but had to laugh out allowed at this one. Im first aid qualified and if I saw a baghead get strangled by her headbag on an escalator I would:
1. Stand back and watch whilst all the Dhimmis try to help her (which wouldnt be easy once the escalator got a hold of the material.)
2. Stand back and not volunteer to perform cpr on said baghead infact I would even mention I know First Aid
3. Walk off knowing the fact the world has one less braindead, baby jihad producing machine
4. Finally do a little happy dance on the spot and enjoy the rest of my day.
You may be interested to learn that Red Cross volunteer trainers in the UK have been forced to train moslem women as first responders, although said women have insisted they will use their skills on MOSLEMS ONLY!
Dara, is there a story online about that? Would like to post.
I’ve looked and can find nothing. I suspect it’s bollocks.
From what I’ve been reading, it’s only the hijab, the headbag. Must have been one long piece of material stringing down… but then, most reporters don’t know the difference in their garments. It’s now reported that she WAS 47-years old.
NOTE: The Québécois reporter on the scene is almost SMILING… Kudos to the Québécois… as the muslimas keep saying ‘It is THEIR CHOICE to wear the veil’.
LET THEM LIVE with the CONSEQUENCES. No lawsuits, please.
it is quite sad that someone has to die to prove the point.
You’re right. In a way, it is sad. But for the majority who are fighting this Islamic attempt at domination and the excessive costs and distress they are putting us through, somehow I just don’t feel bad about what happened.
In my mind, she is part of the enemy that is fighting us. One less…
Yes,that’s what I think every time I visit Drummer Lee Rigby’s grave………
Proof that Islam is bad for your health and well-being. It should be banned on grounds of health and safety.
Feel good story of the day! I hope this helps strengthen the Charter of Values!
Ha ha ha ha ha! Funniest thing I’ve heard all week.
Call it a curious and unusual death…
I don’t see how this could happen, but have no sympathy.
When will westerners learn; islam is the enemy.
So how would that work if a man came upon her lying there, and applied mouth to mouth. Would he be sued if she revived? Why not?
It’s taken me 2.5 hrs to write this…. I can’t stop laughing!!!!
Darrius, laughing on this website is rare indeed. But this one is priceless.
Look for a product liability lawsuit and/or a press conference called by CAIR for the victim.
How long till a law suit is filed by CAIR on behalf of her family? How can anyone see where they are going when looking out of a peep hole?
You people are sickening. Laughing and joking over the death of a young woman.
Brenda, muslim apologists are less welcome here than muslims. Scram.
Brenda – have you noticed that even Muslims themselves seem to be more interested in disclaiming that she was a Muslim or what she is wearing? And I don’t recall any official press releases on their parts that this happened and that they are sorry it happened.
To me, that speaks volumes about how little Muslims care about their own. THINK ABOUT IT!
Apparently, you haven’t read any of the thousands of substantiated articles here.
It is us against them.
Brenda, I don’t like muzzies, I don’t trust muzzies, but you are right..We ought not be celebrating over this..That makes us no better than them :/
Jo Jo……even on our worst days we are better than them,we have half a brain(that’s half more than they have),we are kind,we are compassionate,we are generous,we open our doors to people who want to kill us(and have killed),we tolerate the intolerable.Oh,nearly forgot….and we shower daily(using soap).
Then go elsewhere and don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out PC Brenda. What are you doing here anyway ? Got lost on the Net ? Followed the wrong link ? What’s sickening is the likes of you dhimmis still not having a clue what your dealing with with adepts of the death cult but still having to have the pretense to want to lecture us. Really !
Shit happens.
you bunch of low life idiots the comments are horrible thats someones mom not coming home why should she pay for what her country has done or not are you all fucking nazi lovers also cause thats how the jews were slaughtered with comments like this it festered until kids woman children old young were killed god your motheres would be so proud
kim, don’t you dare compare muslims to Jews. Nothing about the hatred for muslims has anything to do with the Jews, who were not killing Germans or flying planes into buildings or any of the other despicable behavior we see everyday from muslims. As for the comments here, we are celebrating the death of another muslim overbreeder. And you are now banned.
BNI, that’s three idiots you’ve banned through this article. You go, girl!!!
SL, I ban about 20 a day everyday, but you don’t see them because most of the comments are too foul to post.
@BNI. Your reply to smooth lee caught my attention. I was wondering how many comments you receive that were too obnoxious to print and 20 a day is quite a lot.
I wonder though, could you not set aside a separate thread on this site and post just the comments you normally block? It would make fun reading seeing what the ‘foaming at the mouth’ pro-muslim brigade are saying.
I suggest this because I recently read the feedback page on Pat Condell’s site (http://www.patcondell.net/feedback/) and he does the same, he lists all the abusive comments on one page. Some of them are plain ridiculous and laughable and give you a true sense of what muslims have to say to anyone who objects to their ideology.
Just a thought, but I think it would be good reading here too.
🙂
Sue, no, I’m afraid I cannot do that. Sometimes I do leave up single threats from Muslims if they aren’t too graphic, but as a rule, threats of violence against me encourages more threats of violence against me and my readers.
That’s a lot of people you have to ban, Ms. BNI: 20 daily? HO HO HO, and Hallelujah that the rest of us don’t even get to see them – BRAVISSIMA!!!!
As to this particular Quisling wannabe: GOOD RIDDANCE!!! Wish all Moslems would all suddenly die in this way like lemmings…
[As to “kim”: I’m very glad you’ve been banned – truly, calling US “Nazi-lovers”, when Moslems were so happy to team up with the Nazis, even forming one COMPLETE SS-Division (“Handzhar”)???? And they likewise teaming up with yet more totalitarians, this time in the form of the Commies??? I think you’d love it in Saudi Arabia, Iran or North Korea!!!! REPENT while you still have time…]
I am sitting here watching Fox News. Finally they are reporting on Christians being massacred by Muslims in Syria just because of their religion. It’s about time they start speaking up, but a little too late because a lot of damage has been done!!!! If it were not for sites like BNI the public would not know about it. How about it pc appologists for Islam?
FOX has lost its edge because of Saudi investors.
kim you are an idiot, low life stupid liberal leftard for ever comparing the atrocities done to the innocent Jews with the truth of the over 22,000 atrocities done by muslims to innocent people since 9-11. This bag head wearing muslim, by weaing the muslim rags shows that she was a supporter of the false and sick superiority cult of the muslums. Unfortunately you can not fix stupid. One solution is for you to go to a muslum controlled country and try your d’himmi crap with them. Idiots like you are more dangerous than the muslims because your head is buried in the sand.
Ah yes, here we go again, another prick using one of the favored name calling : nazi/nazi lovers. Newsflash dimwit, those you defend WERE and still are nazi lovers and sure don’t hide it. So go back check your history before coming here talking nonsense.
Burglerasses need to be licenced and have front and rear licence plates displayed all times. In addition be subject to sobriety checks and annual navigation tests. All in the interest of public safety and national security. And no smoking.
its a ” feel good ” news of the day , made my day , life can be good sometimes …
feel good news of the day
What a shame
The have rights. The right to leave. When they feel the rest of the world is not good enough.
Pity it stopped there, we could have had muslin Chips. (French Fries.)
Time to act like a Palestinian and pass out sweets and treats!!
I like it vey much…….oops – not PC
mack, PC gets you banned here.
She is one more victim of sharia and misogamy which happens in that religion only.
Another good reason to ban those camouflages all together.
I don’t care how they go, as long as they are gone.
One less jihadi factory. She’s not human after all she’s just a woman.
Reading this article I think how naïve we are sometimes. No you cannot use this as an example to ban hijabs because the Muslim family is going to sue the city for not making the subway escalator hijab friendly.
And watch how they kowtow to their demands.
abbot, Quebec doesn’t have all the muslim apologists that Ontario does.
They can’t sue. They’ll try of course, we know this. But never forget what they keep repeating: it is THEIR CHOICE to wear Islamic garments.
Poetic justice, I think!
Force ALL Muslim SCUMBAGS wearing headbags to ride escalators and keep your fingers crossed!
Maybe she was scoping out the subway for the gang and got all caught up.
The “hijack” rags of the lowest of welfare mammies should be banned as an affront to Western Civilization. I have been pondering why the gerbilstuffing gays will not attack Marxist Anthrax Islam and have finally figured it out. Every thing in Islamic fagdumb is done on the basis of bakheesh or bribe and faggots most being rich think they could continue to be faggots by paying the appropriate bribe to imams/mullahs.
Instead of saying to them ‘Go take a walk’, we now have a new expression: ‘Go take an escalator’.
bound to happen sooner or later. those garbage bags are dangerous
I suppose laughing at the headline is a no-no as would be so totally unPC ? Oh to hell with it, I laughed. What ? Gonna shock dhimmis and vermin ? Oh boohoo, as if this wasn’t bound to happen anyway and frankly, better them than us.
Alain, you know PC is not allowed here. Laugh away!
Yesterday a group member had a bunch of Muslim women wearing burqas in Afghanistan asking us to caption it. I had a field day. I came up with eight:
1. “Burqa is my choice. No compulsion – besides we don’t want to get raped or get busted by the Taliban religious police.”
2. “My sisters and I are going to get jobs as cockroach exterminators since we already wear bunny suits. AND THE FIRST COCKROACHES WE ARE GETTING ARE OUR FUCKING HUSBANDS!”
3. “We all live double lives as ninjas.”
4. “Hey who farted? I can’t smell out of this fucking burqa.”
5. “Hey what did that British schoolkid mean by we ought to be monsters on Ms. PacMan?!”
6. “Psst. Don’t tell anyone but we husband swap every week or so. It’s not like our husbands can tell us apart anyway, huh?!”
7. “Hey we ought to go rob a bank. Nobody can see our faces anyway. We can hide guns under our clothes and cry racecard if anyone questions us.”
8. “It’s a good thing we wear these burqas. We got more facial hair than our husbands.”
I have to tell you, there was a certain confusion following the subway story.
Afterwards, there was a rumor that it was an ordinary woman wearing a scarf…
Finally, two witnesses confirmed it was a hijab. We went from disappointment to sadness back to happiness again… Police refuse to talk but witnesses confirm. It seems she might have tripped…
Susan, tripped? Oh my, this keeps getting better and better.
I truly hope she tripped. Like that, we won’t get sued.
The city is in great deficit, we can’t afford a huge muslim lawsuit…
They’ll find a way to sue us, and I guarantee this is not good for them… support for the Charter of secular values will skyrocket into the 85% and the P.Q. government is assured of a majority electoral victory.
The instant they do a wrong move in Québec, it’s all over the media.
Susan, couldn’t have happened at a better time. I even heard about it on a talk radio show here tonight.
BNI………LOL! I tell you,I nearly choked on my bacon butty(sandwich)……………
Sheik:
Is there any truth to the rumor about the fat muslim woman who got caught in a revolving door and lost her entire wardrobe, right there in front of God and everybody ?
I understand she was a little embarrassed at being sen in all her fat and hairy glory, but what really got her was the washer and dryer combo she was straddling.
Just checking.
Sorry but HAHAHA is all I can come up with.
Dave, that seems to be the consensus.
Thank you BNI I really needed that laugh I hope a video does pop up.☺
AI, just posted. It had to be subtitled.
Yes ! That’s the answer , use health and safety legislation to ban the head bags . That way they can’t whine about discrimination .
Absoulutely! Then if the bag heads want to strangle themselves, they are free to get the hell out of Canada and go to an arselifter haven on the other side of the world…..ah, but unfortunately THOSE places would not likely have escalators for them to get their headbags and hair caught in!!
They tried to resuscitate her? Must’ve removed her head-bag to do that! In which case if they had been successful in reviving her, the family would’ve killed her for showing her face/hair and so dishonoring them! (LMAO). She was in a No-Win situation!
Yep! Muzturd Karma!
Rather I think there would be a lawsuit for taking of the head-bag without any permission…
No, I think instead of killing her the family would have sued the Paramedic Association for violation of her rights to have her face covered..imagine the $$$ s they would claim against them for removing her headbag,,,remember that MODESTY is paramount in Islam ( even tho its okay to shag goats and donkeys) , ,, I recall the story of the school girls in Saudi Arabia who the firemen preferred to be burned alive than for them to come out without proper burqa….thats the sick mentality they are bringing out here to the West..
” ….Quebec who are trying to pass the Charter of Values which would ban most religious attire in public buildings.” The key word here is “most.” The savage “male” muzzie will be outraged and demand their “rights.” And the government of Quebec will back down.
Deport them all .. then they can’t demand a damn thing!
The reasons to ban these garbage bags just keep adding up, unless of course if every woman wearing one had this happen to her, then I would seriously consider supporting keeping them on in public when traveling on escalators.
@ SS : that’s funny!
Thanks, ladybgodde. I would have never imagined myself saying such a thing even just a couple of years ago, but that was before I knew as much as I know now about Islam…..
Also I have BNI to thank for keeping my sanity in a world that grows more unjust and insane with these pieces of muck hitting our shores and sucking up, abusing and destroying or usurping everything we have striven to build. The desperately-needed dark humor is an important component of fighting back.
God news!!!
EXCELLENT NEWS!! I’m off down the Pub to spread this GREAT NEWS!!
I may make my Irish coffee this evening a double!!
Have a couple o’ pints for me, brother!!!
You should be ashamed of yourself.
You are banned for ruining our fun.
We should be ashamed of ourselves? For what? Did we cause her death? Can any case be made that the escalator or the subway caused it? Who made her wear the hijab? It was her choice. And I am frankly disgusted that some Muslims have replied here and denied that she was Muslim or that she wore the hijab. They care more about the image of Islam than her life. THAT DISGUSTS ME!
Paradisio:
You are right. I am ashamed. There is no way the Irish tastes good with all that freaking coffee in it. The Irish knew how much liquid to put in it when they made it ! !
