Legendary sex symbol Brigitte Bardot has been fined £12,000 for inciting racial hatred against Muslims.
Animal rights campaigner Bardot argued that Muslims should stun animals before slaughtering them during the Aid al-Kabir holiday
In December 2006 the retired French film star-turned-animal rights activist wrote a letter to France’s then interior minister, Nicolas Sarkozy, arguing that Muslims should stun animals before slaughtering them during the Aid al-Kabir holiday.
She outraged anti-racist groups by saying: “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.”
Miss Bardot, now 73, made it clear that she was referring to Muslims in the letter.
She was absent from today's court hearing in Paris, but wrote to prosecutors saying: “I'm sickened by how anti-racist groups are harassing me.
“I won't shut up until stunning is carried out” on animals before their ritual slaughter.
Miss Bardot, who shot to wordwide fame in the 50s in the lead role in And God Created Woman, already has four convictions on similar charges.
In 2004 she was fined £4000 for inciting racial hatred in her book “A Cry in the Silence”.
France is home to Europe’s largest Muslim community, estimated at five million people.
Where can I contribute to her defense fund? You go Brigitte!
PETA vs. CAIR in a steel cage match.
Time to start a fundraiser.
I’ll take animal rights activists over Islamic nutjobs any day.
Looks like the French, cheese-eating, surrender monkeys are going after whitey now. Freedom is a terrible thing to waste.
OK, so destroy our traditions & swallow our culture. Just don't call us 'racist'.
The west is this close to self-destruction.
I guess all speech is created equal, but some is more equal than others.
“Muslim” is a race? Who knew?
sounds like a great use for tasers.
Don't tase me, bro!
Reminds me of Pam Anderson
Reminds me of Pam Anderson
Better than Pam Anderson.
No way.
No. Bridgette Bardot has a brain. As far as I know her life was never quite the train wreck Ms Anderson's has been.
Yet it’s alright for mooziez to call her a whore, ape, pig, and call for her rape and outright murder? Oh yeah, it’s their “religious right” to make such statements!
Bingo. Suicidal cowardice.
Oh, c'mon, Brigitte, you know they're peaceful. /s
I mean before she went to the RoboCop surgeons.
Have any muzzl’ems ever been “Fined For Inciting Racial Hatred?”
Stupid question, I guess.
