Two Muslim women wearing headscarves have been thrown out of a Paris restaurant after being threatened by its self-confessed racist owner. Video footage has emerged of the incident, which occurred earlier this week. Now, a criminal inquiry has been launched into the rant at the Michelin-star* restaurant Le Cenacle, (leh seh-NOK-ul) in north-east Paris. It follows a series of incidents in which women have been thrown off public beaches in France for wearing Islamic clothing.
