Actress Brigitte Bardot on Trial in France for Offending Islam

[LTARGlok]

Bridgette Bardot has been accussed by French prosecutors of making racist slurs against Muslims, and is consequently now on trial.  Prosecutors are recommending a $23,000 fine, and a two month suspended jail sentence.   If she was to make more racist statements, she could then be sent to jail.

It turns out that she has already been fined 4 times previously for criticizing Muslims living in France.  The recent statement that she said that has now landed her in hot water again was this:

"I am fed up with being under the thumb of this population which is destroying us, destroying our country and imposing its religious acts,"

Here is a news report about her trial:

She's married to the #2 of the French National party (extreme right)

No surprise here, move along.

PS: It's "Brigitte" not Bridget.

That bimbo biatch can drop dead.  This wouldn't even get a thread in the OClub if you knew how rotten racist she is.

So she really is a racist????

She always seemed very sweet in all the movies I ever saw her in.

Racist or not, she does have a point

So Nationalists are considered to be extremists in France???

I admit that I know very little of French politics.  And even less of French political parties.

Don't be fooled.  She's exactly what I said above, a bimbo b****.  She's married to the sort of people who say stuff like "the ovens in 39-45 were a minor detail" in an as-a-matter-of-fact sort of way.  They're rotten extreme right rats like you wouldn't believe until you went over to France and saw for yourself.  I lived with pukes like em in the heart of french country side, so you can take my word for it.  I've dealt with pretty much all the different types of people who bask in the glow of neo-nazism, from full-on skinheads to polite grannies who if you looked even slightly foreign wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.

"Nationalist" is just a word, just as it was in "national-socialist".

Racist or not, she does have a point

She'd still say so if Muslims were 100% peaceful. 

[Mr No Name]

I totally agree with her.  Islam: The religion of submission.

good on brigitte bardot.  it doesn't matter that she is spot on in her assessment her mistake is that she's supposed to be waving a white flag.  to do otherwise would be offensive to french sensibilities.  imagine the horror!!!! what if everybody chose to fight moslems, where would we be then?

Is muslim a race? I thought it was a religion? If that's the case that it is a religion then how could she make a racist statement? I actually agree with her but then again there are groups of people here in the U.S. doing the same thing. We call them politicians.

[JB88]

screw islam.

there.  i said it.

i don't condone racism...but it boggles the mind that a country that supposedly values liberty would do so much to
stiffle it.

so much for free speech.

[texasmom]

I think that the remark initially calling her a racist stems from her overall racism... not from the specific remark which she made about the muslim religion.

silly old women, she should know it's ok to be anti-christian but not ant-is-lam.
