Brigitte Bardot:Anti-Islam?

Anti-gay, anti-Islam Bardot to be sued

David Hearst and Paul Webster in Paris Thursday May 15, 2003 The Guardian

It takes a lot for the French to lose patience with their ageing stars, and Brigitte Bardot, an unabashed fan of the National Front leader, Jean-Marie Le Pen, was given a lot of rope. Yesterday the free ride for her tirades against the decadence of modern society ended after two anti-racist and human rights movements announced they would take the 68-year-old to court.

Her latest outburst, a book called Un Cri Dans Le Silence, attacks Islam, gays, the unemployed, teachers and illegal immigrants, and calls for a return of the guillotine.

She says that gays are fairground freaks, teachers arrive at work with greasy hair wearing disgusting jeans and muddy trainers, and that "the professional unemployed" don't even want to work illegally.

She rails against what she claims is the "Islamisation of France", and after a lifelong campaign against the death penalty, she says the guillotine should be brought back for those who murder children.

The Movement Against Racism And For The Friendship of Peoples (MRAP) and the League of Human Rights said yesterday they would sue her. Mouloud Aounit, the president of MRAP, said: "We expect justice to hit her hard. We need a ruling which will dissuade and prevent her from making further outbursts."

The former film star, who once shook middle-class moralists with her libertine lifestyle, said it had been her intention to shock by "saying out loud what people think to themselves" - a phrase invented by Mr Le Pen.

Ms Bardot, who is married to a National Front executive, Bernard d'Ormale, was last interviewed by Paris Match, at her seaside villa in St Tropez and the nearby farmhouse.

She claimed that it was while driving between the two houses on her way to feed the goats that she realised that "the intrinsic and fundamental values of mankind no longer existed".

Le Pen very popular? If you consider getting barely 20% of the vote to be popular. Let's also not forget that MORON Le Pen opposed the US war on Iraq.

Populism= Rule by the Sheeple.

Again, how is getting around 20% of the vote considered "popular support." Kinda like the Buchananbots on this site bragging about how Patsy would "bring down Bush" in 2000.
