For Brigitte Bardot, the whole getting fined for making anti-Muslim remarks is soooo pasee. Been there, done that. Her repeat offender behavior has led the prosecutor to say, “I’m a bit tired of trying Madame Bardot.”
The former actress and model was famous for her sex symbol status and roles in films like “And God Created Woman” by Roger Vadim in 1956 and “Contempt” by Jean-Luc Godard in 1963. But it’s no longer her sex appeal or her films that gets the 73 into the headlines and into the blog posts of Gina Telaroli. Bardot has been a long-time a champion of animal rights, which she takes so seriously, she had a neighbor’s donkey castrated because he was sexually harassing her mare. But Bardot is not as fond of the Muslims as she is critters, and today was sentenced, for the FIFTH time, under a French law against for inciting hatred and discrimination on racial or religious or racial grounds. The equivalent of $23,325, this was the heaviest fine so far. So here are the five racism-inciting statements Bardot has made and paid for– literally– since 1997
1. “…my country, France, my homeland, my land is again invaded by an overpopulation of foreigners, especially Muslims.” - published in 1997 Open Letter to My Lost France Le Figaro.
2. “I am against the Islamisation of France. For centuries our forefathers…our fathers gave their lives to chase all successive invaders from France,” her book, A Cry in the Silence, 2003.
3. “Our lovely, kind street-walkers have been replaced by girls from the east, Nigerians, travellers, transsexuals, drag-queens, bearers of Aids and other friendly gifts… Not even French prostitutes are what they used to be.” A Cry in the Silence, 2003.
4. Gay men “jiggle their bottoms, put their little fingers in the air and with their little castrato voices moan about what those ghastly heteros put them through.”
5. “I’ve had enough of being led by the nose by this whole population which is destroying us, and destroying our country by imposing their ways.” 2006 letter to then interior minister, Nicolas Sarkozy.
So, what do you think? Free speech or racism? takepart and find out more about human rights in France.

Racism is free speech. Only in a socialist police-state can it be illegal to pronounce racist or other offensive opinions.
Brigitte Bardot happens to be correct in her statements of the dangers of Muslim infiltration, but even if she wasn’t she should have the right to print them.
Moreover, the appeasement of Muslims has gone too far in Europe. Not the slightest word of criticism is allowed against them or their backward, medieval practices and violent, hate-filled beliefs. In Holland, students were prohibited from wearing the Dutch flag because it would offend Muslim immigrants. The consequences will be disastrous if this fervent conceding and surrendering to them continues.

Free speach - fining her and convicting her is a disgrace. They are silencing a human being who has every right to express an opinion!!!
