| The War on Brigitte Bardot |
| 2008-04-21 |
| By Jacob Laksin Not the first time Bardot's been sued. She's rather rightwing (always has been, even in her youth, actually) and is also involved in the protection of animals. She's been over the years a vocal opponent of the aid el kebir "holliday", when tens (if not hundred) of thousands of sheeps and similar animals are slaughtered by the muslims living in France in total illegality (and with no respect at all not only for the french laws, but to the french at large, as in large urban areas, remains and other bloody leftovers are often just left on the street, in parks, leaving the sanitary services to deal with that). She opposes that because it's contrary to french traditions, and because the animals are to be killed by having their throats slit open and decapitated - exactly like prisoners executed in jihadi snuff movies, and that's not a coincidence, this is ingrained in muslim males from age 8 up. So, yes, she's been sued, and she's been sued before, and will be again, most probably. No need to mention she's not exactly liked by the msm... nor justice. French justice is a BIG tool in the enforcement of PCness. Bite the line, and you'll be sued off your pants by subsisided "anti-racist" orgs. Imagine the aclu, but backed by anti-hate speech laws, and with a VERY complicit justice system (about 40% to an half of french judges and attorneys and the like belong to the syndicat de la magistrature, a leftist union born after 1968, with a full cultural marxist dogma... if you're RAAAAACCCCCIIIISSST in France, you'll be stumped HARD). In the 1960s, Brigitte Bardot was France’s national icon, a pouty-lipped poster girl for the glories of her home country. So it is a sign of how radically times have changed that yesterday’s silver-screen darling is today’s enemy of the people. Bardot’s “crimes,” such as they are, are straightforward: She has committed the sin of speaking frankly and unapologetically about her country’s hostile Muslim immigrant population and – what is evidently worse – questioning the compatibility of some Muslim religious practices with Western society. Common sense, one might think, or least subjects fit for fruitful debate. Not in modern France. Last week, the erstwhile cinema siren went on trial on the charge of inciting “racial hatred against Muslims.” If convicted, she could face a two-month suspended prison sentence and nearly $24,000 in fines. The basis for the charge is utterly bogus. It stems from a letter that Bardot wrote to President Nicolas Sarkozy in 2006, in which she complained about the practices of Islamic immigrants. In particular, Bardot was put off by the ritual of Eid al-Adha, a Muslim feast in which sheep and goats are slaughtered by having their throats slit. A longtime animal-rights activist, Bardot found the practice abominable. |

| #3 Two notes 1) French (and most european) judges are unelected. It is judges who select future judges by making appliants pass an exam. Notice that appliants come straight from university ie they are not a known quantity respective to common sense, fairness and so on. There have been cases of judges who were completely nuts. And it is not posssible to impeach them. Alo notice that withn a system of judges selcting future judges there is atrong chance of intellectual consaguinity and of activist judges recuiting other activists. 2) There have been cases in France where left-orinted city councils have fired city employees for "racism" in fact for criticizing Islam. Funny thing is that such racists were Arabs and born Muslims. |

| #2 Maybe the French can switch to clean energy by hooking a drive belt to Roland in his grave. |

| #1 totally OT : this reminds me again of a joke already told here, but WTH... You've got two old women sunbathing topless on a beach, their wrinkled skin overtanned, face and body defeated by graviting and sagging, fat, bloated and shapeless, their once-blonde hair now a sad white... one thinks of something, turns to the other and sez : - "Do you remember? When we were young, we wanted to look just like Brigitte Bardot?" - "Yeah, and what's your point, exactly?" - "Well... it's done." |
