Level -> Brigitte Bardot on trial for Muslim slurs (4/19/2008 3:44:12 AM)
quote: French former film star Brigitte Bardot went on trial on Tuesday for insulting Muslims, the fifth time she has faced the charge of "inciting racial hatred" over her controversial remarks about Islam and its followers. Prosecutors asked that the Paris court hand the 73-year-old former sex symbol a two-month suspended prison sentence and fine her 15,000 euros ($23,760) for saying the Muslim community was "destroying our country and imposing its acts." Since retiring from the film industry in the 1970s, Bardot has become a prominent animal rights activist but she has also courted controversy by denouncing Muslim traditions and immigration from predominantly Muslim countries. http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3532323,00.html

So much for free speech in France. Same would happen in UK I expect. Brigitte Bardot has become quite passionate about "cruelty to animals".She came to an airport near where I live to protest after the acidental death of a demonstrator, opposing live animal transport to Europe, got wide publicity I remember the fuss about the Muslim ceremony where a sheep was to be slaughtered but I do not know what happened. Anybody know ?

The sheep escaped and wound up bullfighting in Spain.

-fr- not familiar with french free speech laws, but i'm surprised that this is listed as inciting racial hatred; i've seen others do much, much worse with no recourse. maybe it's because she's so popular? or maybe it's just france, and i'm used to the american interpretation of free speech (which has its own shortcomings, but seriously...this seems a bit over the top to me). the one thing i do not get about people like bardot who speak out against immigration is that if the french people did not want maghrebi immigrants, they should have thought of that before colonizing the damn countries in the first place. if anyone's interested in maghrebi immigration to france, and issues relating to moroccan women and french women of moroccan origin (also discusses islam to a great extent), i'd recommend checking out "muslim women on the move" by doris gray. annabelle.

Hasn't this happened about 5 times before? I wonder if LA will come on with a list of search links for this topic.

Anybody know ? Bardot is a stupid, hateful old bitch; it's like the sixth time she's broken the law that protects people from racial hatred. It's a fucking law, get over it. She's got it coming, and she deserves it. As for the 'slaughtered sheep', it's something that belongs to the festival of Eid al kebir. The sheep is killed because people are going to eat it. Duh! I didn't realise you were a veggie, Seeks.

It's quite perverse how those animal rights activists can be so intolerant towards their fellow humans. She hasn't just criticised islamists, she's also attacked homosexuals. She's pretty intolerant of anyone and it's likely the only tolerance she'll find is from the four legged creatures that can't criticise her in return. I have to say that she comes across as a lonely, bitter and vengeful female.

kittinSol -> RE: Brigitte Bardot on trial for Muslim slurs (4/19/2008 5:16:21 AM)
EXACTLY, MissM. Bardot is a bitter and twisted hag, and as many exclusive animal lovers, she's a misanthropist - a particular brand of misanthropy, however, one that is exclusively aimed at those from a different culture than her own (Parisian petite bourgeoisie).

Chloelicious -> RE: Brigitte Bardot on trial for Muslim slurs (4/19/2008 5:20:38 AM)
Bardot never denied being close to the Front national (french extremist party) wihch her husband(or former husband) is from. For her fight for animal right she go real far but sometime it is justified. Look at those poor baby seals beaten and skined off alive. For her breaking the law, she should be ashamed to "put everyone in the same sack".

MissMorrigan -> RE: Brigitte Bardot on trial for Muslim slurs (4/19/2008 5:26:04 AM)
That's an interesting point and something I have also noted about exclusive animal lovers - insofar as them seeming bitter and angry towards their fellow man. Animals become their sole focus b/c they cannot forumulate healthy relationships with their fellow man - kind of speaks volumes. quote: ORIGINAL: kittinSol EXACTLY, MissM.

I don't denigrate her for her decisions regarding animal rights, Chloelicious, but it's a great shame she doesn't apply the same vigour towards her fellow man. quote: ORIGINAL: Chloelicious Bardot never denied being close to the Front national (french extremist party) wihch her husband(or former husband) is from.

I'm going to say something horrible now, but I don't care [sm=evil.gif]. Bardot prefers animals to human beings because they don't tell her how ugly she's become. [:)]

'Outsiders eroding our way of life' is hardly an innovative notion. As ever with these articles, I'd like to see the full quote and the context. Perhaps she's suggesting that she values traditional French culture and aims to keep it that way at all costs; you may disagree, of course, but this sentiment is widespread and it's a valid opinion. France is a unique situation, of course. They're fed on a diet of the glory of France in a similar vein to England, but their language has been usurped by English, their politics is in the process of being usurped by the Anglo-Saxon model and they remain embarrassed by the actions of the Southern half of France when collaborating with the Germans. All in all, you have here a people who believe their culture should be exported but find they're struggling to stem the tide of Anglo-Saxon driven globalisation, which renders them a suspicious and fearful lot not averse to lashing out at in vintage scapegoat fashion. A point aside, the French must be the least likeable lot on this planet. I try to keep broad generalisations to a minimum, but I make exceptions for our neighbours from across the channel.

On the YRU here thread I was going to add ...to get the female perspective... I will make that comment here instead. I'm a wise man Iyam lol

it's sad really that a person so obviously suffering from the early onset of dementia could be treated so shabbily. i mean noone stopped eating meat in France when she went all PETA-esque, and besides her hairstyle...which to this day is fabola...how much influence does she really have? Is she giving head to Sarkozy or something? Let the old-lady mumble her crazy thoughts and then die, only to be resuscitated by a Muslim samaritan(a la The Jeffersons episode with the KKK)... ~rambling slut edited...i need my coffee

I'm not sure you know exactly what you're talking about: it sounds as though you're colporting a lot of prejudice and resentment yourself. Enjoy your dislike of the French [8\|] .

I believe ugliness is a character flaw that's projected outwardly... I think those animals, if they weren't so dependent on her, would prefer the company of Seeks and 'is wig. quote: ORIGINAL: kittinSol Bardot prefers animals to human beings because they don't tell her how ugly she's become.
