The War on Brigitte Bardot
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.

#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."

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

#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.

#1  Reflecting on the Continent’s accelerating Islamification, he concluded that the jig was up for the Europe he loved, but what could he do? “I am not a warrior, but who is?” he shrugged. “I have never learned to fight for my freedom. I was only good at enjoying it.”

Sorry, it doesn’t work like that. If you don’t understand that there are times when you’ll have to fight for it, you won’t enjoy it for long.


Steyn nails it again.

#2  Europeans did “vote for their own best interests” — i.e., cradle-to-grave welfare, 35 hour work-weeks, six weeks of paid vacation, etc — and as a result they now face a perfect storm of unsustainable entitlements, economic stagnation, and declining human capital that’s left them so demographically beholden to unassimilable levels of immigration that they’re being remorselessly Islamized with every passing day.
We have seen the enemy, and it is liberalism. The wrong headed belief that gubmint can do anything, when, in fact, the gubmint is as retarded as their latest new employee, and can do very little without collateral damage.

#4  Leviticus 26
If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands, I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees of the field their fruit. Your threshing will continue until grape harvest and the grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat all the food you want and live in safety in your land.

I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid. ... and the sword will not pass through your country.


... if you will not listen to me and carry out all these commands,...then I will do this to you: I will bring upon you sudden terror, wasting diseases and fever that will destroy your sight and drain away your life. You will plant seed in vain, because your enemies will eat it. I will set my face against you so that you will be defeated by your enemies; those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee even when no one is pursuing you. God

#6  As usual, Steyn nails it in one.
