6 "Youths" in France Torture Jewish Teen

In the past, "youths" has been a media code word for young Muslims.  I've read a varied accounts of this story from different sources, one of which inexplicably stated that they are not considering it a hate crime.  None mentions the background of the "youths."

Six youths in France have been detained for allegedly torturing a Jewish teenager by punching him, sexually humiliating him and writing "dirty Jew" on his forehead, France's main Jewish organization said Wednesday.

The 19-year-old victim went alone to a meeting with the youths in the Paris suburb of Bagneux to try to settle an argument with them on Feb. 22, the Representative Council of Jewish Organizations in France, or CRIF, said.

Instead the teenager was allegedly tortured, taunted for being Jewish and accused of being gay, CRIF said. To terrify him, attackers allegedly made repeated references to a young French Jewish man, Ilan Halimi, who was kidnapped, tortured and killed in 2006, CRIF said.

When France refers to "youths" it's Muslims from Africa. Europe is becomming a Muslim third world and they're loving every minute of it.
