As she ought to be remembered........
I do however admire her for this:
With the publication of her 2003 book A Scream in the Silence the reclusive Bardot has come under considerable fire for what some of her critics have termed her “anti-muslim and homophobic” comments.
In May 2003 the MRAP announced it would sue Bardot for her published views.
Another organization - the “Ligue des Droits de l’Homme” (League of Human Rights) - announced they were also considering similar legal proceedings.
Bardot, in a letter to a French gay magazine, wrote in her defense: ‘Apart from my husband - who maybe will cross over one day as well - I am entirely surrounded by homos.’
On 10 June 2004 Bardot was convicted by a French court of ‘inciting racial hatred’ and fined 5,000 €, the fourth such conviction/fine she has faced from French courts. The courts cited passages where Bardot referred to the “Islamization of France” and the “underground and dangerous infiltration of Islam”.
Now, that took some spine!
