PARIS (Reuters) - French actress-turned-animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot (news) was convicted Thursday of inciting racial hatred and ordered to pay $6,000 -- the fourth such fine for the former sex symbol since 1997.
The Paris court sentenced Bardot, 69, for remarks in her book "A Scream in the Silence," an outspoken attack on gays, immigrants and the jobless that shocked France last year.
In the book, she laments the "Islamization of France" and the "underground and dangerous infiltration of Islam."
"Mme. Bardot presents Muslims as barbaric and cruel invaders, responsible for terrorist acts and eager to dominate the French to the extent of wanting to exterminate them," the court said.
Brigitte Bardot is absolutely right about the Islamic threat. We should offer her political asylum.
BTW, Bardot was a hottie long before that term was invented. I thought she was even sexier than Marilyn Monroe.

First, these kinds of laws are fucked. Hopefully the First Amendment will always be intrepeted to forbid them in the US.
Second, I know nothing of this stupid fucking book of hers, but assuming--as the story here says--that she uses it to "attack" "gays", then that would put in comfy company with the very Islamic cretins she bemoans. I suppose the irony is lost on her.
Poor girl succumbed to jewish propaganda and turned into an intolerant bitch. Perhaps she can move to Israel. Arab-hating and oppression is all-the-rage there.

I was, I dunno, 10 years old, and somehow I was in a theater that showed a preview for "And God Created Woman" and Brigitte turned her back to the camera and spread her towel open to some guy and something snapped in my brain and I began thinking of women ... um ... differently. I forgive Brigitte her politics. Yeah, I know, but I don't care. I owe her.

I'm not a great fan of De Gaulle, but I guess he was right when he said : "La vieillesse est un naufrage" (old age is a shipwreck). Please give Brigitte Bardot political asylum and keep her away from us.

Why do you say this?--this book could be sold in the US without criminal (or civil) sanction of any kind. You can publish books denying the Holocaust. You can publish books admitting the Holocaust, and saying it was a good thing. Hell, you can publish books calling for Holocaust II.
We've got problems out the ass here, especially under our current regime of criminal liars, but this particular virus---the government as the gatekeeper of the publishing house--ain't quite here yet.
You are an idiot - and Miss Bardot is probably one too. But since she never posts her bigotry here, I don't see any reason to killfile her. You, on the other hand, are like coming across a gigantic dog turd still steaming on the sidewalk. And I can't wait to scrape you off my shoe.

But Islam is a religion of peace....
By Neil MacFarquhar, New York Times, June 6, 2004
A recent fatwa posted on a popular Islamic Web site in Saudi Arabia explains when a Muslim may mutilate the corpse of an infidel.
The ruling, written by a Saudi religious sheik named Omar Abdullah Hassan al-Shehabi, decrees that the dead can be mutilated as a reciprocal act when the enemy is disfiguring Muslim corpses, or when it otherwise serves the Islamic nation. In the second category, the reasons include "to terrorize the enemy" or to gladden the heart of a Muslim warrior.
The religious ruling was evidently posted to address questions about the conflict in Iraq, but is not limited by geography. In fact, in each of two gruesome attacks in Saudi Arabia last month that left 25 foreigners and 5 Saudis dead, a Western corpse was dragged for some distance behind a car. One was the body of an American engineer in Yanbu on May 1, the other a British businessman in Khobar last weekend.

Are you kidding?
They even made a *movie* about it: "Dear Brigitte." In which this little 8-year-old boy tells everyone he's got a crush on Brigitte Bardot. In the closing scenes, he finally gets to meet her--and she even kisses him (though not on the lips).
Some women just broadcast sexuality on every channel. Brigitte was one of those.

Yes she did!
I don't agree with her politics, but she surely is a sexy woman!

Obviously, the French no longer enjoy freedom of speech, and it would appear that the poison of political correctness is as pervasive in European society as it is here.

"Political correctness"?? You're talking through your anus. If you knew anything at all about modern French culture and politics, you would recognize the name Jean-Marie Le Pen, leader of the Front Nationale, an extreme-right, racist, anti-immigrant political party which has, unfortunately, been a force in French politics for decades. Le Pen came within shouting distance of the French Presidency in an election a couple of years ago. Bardot has been a Le Pen sycophant for many years and her latest blatherings are just more of the same bigoted crap she's spewed out too many times in the past. The vile old bag evidently still likes to see her name in print, long after her dwindling film career thankfully came to a grinding halt. As for why comments like hers make the French authorities nervous, imagine what the political and social climate would be in the USA if nearly 10% of the urban population-- 30 million people-- were highly politicized Muslims, a fast-growing minority ripe for exploitation and recruitment by the likes of Al-Qaeda. That's the demographic situation in France today. If something similar was in place in the USA, I don't think Americans would be quite so ready to engage in the kneejerk anti-Arab discrimination so prevalent in American society, culture and politics, especially in recent years. Scuh an attiude could prove unhealthy in the long run. The French have treated their Arab population like dogs for decades, and they may yet have to pay the price. Hatemongers like Bardot and Le Pen exacerbate people's fears and help to inflame an already potentially volatile situation. Trying to control that isn't PC, it's merely common sense.

And you think the French government fears that BRIGITTE BARDOT is going to make it easier for al-Qaeda to recruit Muslims? And if so, then anyone who shares Bardot's views must be suppressed in order to avoid "provoking" the French Muslims there?
France is supposed to be a democracy. French Muslims don't have to like what Bardot said. Any more than Bardot has to like their actions. if the Muslims can't understand that living in a democracy means tolerance for radical points of view, then let them leave the damn country because it's obvious they have no intention of living in a democracy together with other people whose views they despise.
It is precisely BECAUSE the Muslims in France have the French government dancing to their tune, that Le Pen and the far-right-wingers have become popular there.

Utter bulls**t. There has been practically no discrimination against Arab Americans in America in my lifetime, except for a very few well-publicized incidents that occurred in the heat of passion after 9-11. (Those incidents were FEWER in number and lasted less time than the anti-Semitic incidents of vandalism and threats that occur against Jewish synagogues and cemeteries in this country, year after year after year.)
In WW2, the U.S. Government imprisoned over 100,000 Japanese-Americans in concentration camps. Now THAT is discrimination. Arab-Americans haven't been treated like that and you know it.
Now it isn't that we haven't exactly been provoked. Did you know that as the New York Times reported, in the weeks after 9-11, the imam of a mosque in Queens New York City tried to issue a public statement supporting our Government and denouncing bin Laden. Guess what: HALF his congregation--all American citizens--walked out in protest. They REFUSED to side with our country over al-Qaeda.
Yet we continue to let this people live in this country--can you imagine how we would have treated German-Americans who continued to side with HITLER right thru WW2?
As for ARABS who aren't American citizens, remember that they and all other foreigners are here in America as our GUESTS. No foreigners have a God-given RIGHT to be here. And to the extent many of them have stayed on in this country long after their visas have expired, they're starting to overstay their welcome.
Bottom line: America's response to 9-11 was very mild in comparison to the wholesale roundups of enemy aliens and even citizens suspected of being fifth columnists in France, Britain, and America in WW2.
Be glad. Things could be worse. a lot worse.

The French people's fears are perfectly valid as the Muslims in France have made it clear that they have no intention of assimilating and adopting French culture the way previous immigrants did.
Just as here in the U.S. with the Hispanic migration, because of the excessive numbers of Muslims France has stupidly allowed to immigrate, (and all the illegal immigrants the French government refuses to deal with) it's a case of 'Muslims in France' and not 'French Muslims'.
If you could travel back in time, would you suggest to the American Indians that they should simply shut up and let the Europeans do as they please?

Yeah, I guess World War 3, for example, might count as "worse". Hard to think of much else that would qualify, but Bush and his puppetmasters are bound to think of something sooner or later. Incidentally, your views on American Arabs sound rather like those expressed by that Austrian housepainter you mention, in his early writings-- before he began to be taken seriously. 'Course, he was talking about a different group of Semites... BTW, if you can honestly claim that there's been "practically no discrimination against Arab-Americans during your lifetime", I can only assume that that you must be a newly-hatched housefly, with an extraordinary level of intelligence-- by housefly standards. Or that you've got a rather nasty axe to grind, which precludes your being honest. Wonder which it is?
