I remember when they gave the Ayatollah Khomeni, Arafat, and other despots safe harbor there, with open arms, too late now that the horse is out of the barn to try to control islamic movements there

One cold winter day in 2007 I walked into a store and left my ski mask on. The boss clerk wigged out.

And these Muslim women want to wear Burqas to the bank?

They were, not sure if that’s the case now that the Islamofascists are in charge.

I could not find anything upon a brief search about Bridgitte being jailed, but she has been fined plenty and harassed for speaking out.

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.

She has been fined four times for inciting racial hatred since 1997, at first 1,500 euros and most recently 5,000.

Prominent animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot was recently fined 30,000 francs by a French court for comments she made in a recent book, “Pluto’s Square.” In the book, Bardot complains about the large number of Muslim immigrants in France and especially the ritual slaughter of sheep during a Muslim religious festival.

In the book, Bardot complains that “…my country, France, my homeland, my land is again invaded by an overpopulation of foreigners, especially Muslims.”

France, like many European countries, has laws against inciting racial hatred, and this is the third time that Bardot has been convicted of such an offense

Bridgitte is one of the world’s leading advocates for animal rights. She has donated her own money and raised millions for the animals who cannot speak for themselves.

God bless this woman.

Here in Kuwait, it is common to see women driving a car with the full-bore “ninja b*tch” thing going. Believe me, few of them actually know how to control a modern contrivance like an automobile. On top of that these broads are usually yakking on their cell phones with little Mohammed and Aisha jumping around inside the Escalade or Porsche SUV like retarded monkeys on crack. I have never driven in a more dangerous place. To complete the deadly mix, throw in a plethora of incompetent, absolutely insane drivers from the likes of Pakistan and India, some of whom might have had experience driving a rickshaw or donkey cart, but not a car. A Westerner’s chance of getting picked-off by fans of “The Perfect Man,” here is negligable, especially when compared to his chances of getting smoked on the roads. It’s madness—absolute madness.

A few months ago I was cruising out near a sh*thole town named Wafra. The roads out that way are razor-straight and they disappear to the horizon. Visibility is unlimited. Yet I came upon a late-’90s Chevy Impala that was literally scattered across 500 feet of desert. It had obviously rolled over many times. I’m still wondering how that accident went down. Was it a blown tire at 140mph or a case of asleep at the wheel while driving at a ridiculously high rate of speed? Too bad, the car looked like it had been in mint condition prior to the accident.

Thank you for the info, Cincinna. The atmosphere here is refreshing. France is now becoming more conservative than U.S. ! :)

The majority is against the burka.

I wonder how many Ciroens will go up in smoke?

Maybe this is a secret plan to keep French car companies going full tilt during the current downturn?

Brigitte Bardot is a horrible example to cite. She may hate all Muslims, but she also hates all Jews and Protestants as well.

She is a far far right extremist follower of Jean-Marie le Pen and his neo-fascist National Front Party.

Brigitte may be an animal rights crusader, but she cares nothing about human rights.

She believes in the mega-state, in national control of almost everything,and is vehemently anti-American and anti-democratic. She has absolitely nothing in common with American conservatives, or French conservatives.

She is so far Right, she is on the fascist Left.
