Thanks for the reminder about what Bardot said, and for which she was fined!

Brigitte Bardot has been fined the equivalent of $6,000 by a French court for her anti-Islam book, "Un Cri Dans le Silence." According to a news account, one of the passages that the court found most objectionable was:

I am against the Islamisation of France! This obligatory allegiance, this forced submission disgusts me.... Our ancestors, the elderly, our grandfathers, our fathers have for centuries given their lives to push out successive invaders.

Thanks for the link with the quote, I couldn't find it right off!

I am against the Islamisation of France! This obligatory allegiance, this forced submission disgusts me.... Our ancestors, the elderly, our grandfathers, our fathers have for centuries given their lives to push out successive invaders.

It disgusts me too. I'll bet at least a couple of the hapless French 'leaders' are marveling at her wisdom and wishing they had heeded her words, when in fact it should have been obvious to them, too, just like it was to us here at FR. I hope there's still time. She was right, right on. But she didn't care about being right, like folks in Germany who witnessed the rise of the Third Reich and got out before Hitler started his exterminations, I have a feeling she is wishing someone would have listened. I am.
