| #8 Bardot had deliberately tried to draw a link between Islam and terrorism by mentioning the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States . . . I'm speechless. She mentions a fact and they fine her. I'm convinced now that we've lost France. |

| #7 She's a whack job on Animal Rights, and maybe the only person in France who is right on the threat of Islamic fundamentalism. As for me, I will not protest sheep slaughtering for feasts, especially Rack of Lamb at the "Outback Steakhouse" |

| #6 This is, I believe, the third time she has been fined for this offense. She got nailed once for protesting ritual sheep slaughtering for feasts. |

| #5 In its verdict, the court ruled that Bardot had deliberately tried to draw a link between Islam and terrorism by mentioning the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States in a chapter on a Muslim holiday celebrated in France and elsewhere. Er...and why is this being racist? I thought this was an example of common sense? |

| #4 She can be a real nut case, but once again, France has proven itself utterly incapable of judgment. One of the most incriminating sections read: "I am against the Islamisation of France! ...this forced submission disgusts me..." She has a completely valid political point here. A complaint over a tirade in the book against "mixing our genes" with non-European immigrants, taken in context to mean Muslims, was not upheld. And conversely, here she actually is being racist. France...a quel but vos decisions ridicules? |

| #3 wow! That's kind of frightening. Maybe if she'd written about Americans or Jews, they would have given her a prize instead. |

| #1 Le mot officiel de la République islamique française Mais, bien sûr ! Nous toujours mangeons nos propres icônes culturelles. En plus, elle est un a été et personne remarquera. Elle permettre de va la vie avec l'anglais ou les Américains avec une attitude comme cela. But, of course! We always eat our own cultural icons. Besides, she's a has-been and no one will notice. Let her go live with the English or Americans with an attitude like that. |
