TWO women wearing headscarves were thrown out of a Paris restaurant after being threatened by its self-confessed racist owner who said: "Terrorists are Muslims, and all Muslims are terrorists".

A restaurant owner in a Paris suburb is facing an investigation after chasing two veiled Muslim women out of his premises on Saturday in the latest incident of intercultural tensions in France.

The Committee Against Islamophobia in France (CCIF) has also provided their support to the women and promised to give them "emotional and legal support" after the "umpteenth Islamophobic incident which. led to the humiliation of two young Muslim women".

O: I don't want people like you in my place, I'll make that clear.

Eighty-six people were killed in Nice in July and over 400 people injured when Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel drove a truck into crowds leaving a fireworks display on Nice's waterfront on France's national holiday.

Madame, terrorists are Muslims, and all Muslims are terrorists.

Owner: Racists like me don't kill good people.

Continuing his rant he says: Im living in a secular country and this is my opinion.

Amid growing tensions throughout France, and with right-wing politicians pledging to pass new burkini-ban legislation, the minister for Families and Women's Rights, Laurence Rossignol, has stated that she has asked the intergovernmental Dilcra-which is tasked with investigation matters of racism-to look into the incident.

Then the woman enquired about the reason behind such disgusting treatment saying "Is it because we have bombs, sir?"

France's interior minister said Monday that the country is at war with an enemy trying to pit Muslims against non-Muslims, making it urgent to create a strong bond between the nation and citizens of the Islamic faith.

M: But, it's necessary to state here that you don't want Muslims.

O: Now, you know it, get out.

Women protest burkini bans outside the French Embassy in London on Friday. Images of armed police apparently enforcing the ban on a woman on a beach in Nice have added to the controversy.

More than 30 towns in France had banned the burkinis in response to what officials say reduces growing terror concerns. French media have widely broadcast the video. However, he ruled out drafting a national law banning burkinis.
