This is ridiculous.
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.”
Stupid Fwance. Those people consider themselves “liberal?” This is where we’re headed here, y’all, if the libs have their way. Criminalization of politically incorrect thought.
She has been fined four times for inciting racial hatred since 1997, at first 1,500 euros and most recently 5,000.
Prosecutor Anne de Fontette told the court she was seeking a tougher sentence than usual, adding: “I am a little tired of prosecuting Mrs Bardot.”
Tell me, what’s so inflammatory about what Bardot said? And how is that inciting “RACIAL hatred?” What race is a Muslim?
“I am fed up with being under the thumb of this population which is destroying us, destroying our country and imposing its acts,” the star of ‘And God created woman’ and ‘Contempt’ said.
Bardot has previously said France is being invaded by sheep-slaughtering Muslims and published a book attacking gays, immigrants and the unemployed, in which she also lamented the “Islamisation of France”.
Good thing Orianna Fallaci, Pim Fortuyn, Theo Van Gogh, Geert Wilders, etc. weren’t/aren’t from France. For that matter, I can imagine Pope Benedict XVI being prosecuted in France, if they’re that repressive.
This bit in Time is amazing:
…in 2004, another Bardot book, A Cry In the Silence
, again took up the question of immigration and Islam — ultimately running afoul of anti-racism laws by generally associating Islam with the 9/11 terror attacks, and denouncing the “Islamization of France” by people she described as “invaders”.
O RLY? Mon dieu. Look, I get the European fear of racism and extremism, considering the history. But really, they’ve just exchanged one form of totalitarianism–the Nazis–with another, with this criminalization of free thought. This is why they end up with nasty neo-fascist groups and parties in Europe; it’s an overreaction to this absurd moral relativism and obsession with “political correctness.” Prosecuting a 71 year-old cultural icon for speaking her mind isn’t gonna help.
Nice to know Italy isn’t falling down this shithole of leftist intolerance, anyway.
