#2 Notice that Ms Bardot was not complaining that the Muslims kill and threaten to kill people. She, like many animal activists, was more concerned that they did not kill animals "humanely". She is not concerned that Islam is replacing Christianity in Europe, she is concerned that these foreigners are using "primitive" methods to kill animals.

#5 Correction: Islam is (and always as been) a Political Ideology masquerading as a religion.

Nope, nope, nope, she's quite concerned with that, and has taken some serious flak for having said that open out loud (on teevee, for example), but the animals rights is her angle, because it's her thing, I guess.

Note that she's always been quite rightwing, even in her youth, and she's been married to a National Front bigshot; the LGF-aligned Dissident Frogman (who does a great job nonetheless) even had a post a few weeks back, where he said one shouldn't support BB too much, because, well, she was and is a racist.

France's Bardot Denounces Muslim 'Invasion' (Reuters, 10:28am EDT, 4/26/96)

PARIS - Brigitte Bardot, sex icon turned animal rights activist, said Friday she might be forced to emigrate because France had too many Muslim immigrants.

Bardot's column in the conservative newspaper Le Figaro denounced immigrants in unusually virulent terms, highlighting her long campaign against the Muslim ritual slaughter of sheep.

Labeling herself "a Frenchwoman of old stock," the film star pointed to her grandfather and father's battles against German invaders in two world wars, and to her own rejection of lucrative Hollywood offers during her "cinematic glory."

Bardot wrote: "And now my country, France, my homeland, my land, is with the blessing of successive governments again invaded by a foreign, especially Muslim, over-population to which we pay allegiance." "We have to submit against our will to this Muslim overflow. From year to year, we see mosques flourish across France, while our churchbells fall silent because of a lack of priests," added Bardot, who is married to a supporter of the extreme-right National Front
which campaigns on an anti-immigrant platform.

Bardot, who has given her name and support to an animal protection foundation, repeated in gory prose her condemnation of Muslim heep-slaughtering rituals during the "atrocious" Aid-el-Kebir feast of the sacrifice. "Tens of thousands of poor beasts whose throats are slit...with blades that are more or less sharpened, by clumsy 'sacrificers' who have to repeat their gesture several times, while kids splashed with blood bathe in this magma of terror, of blood
squirting from badly-slit jugulars," she wrote.

Bardot has in the past attacked the celebration of the feast in France by more than two million Muslims, mostly North African Arab immigrants. Leaders of France's Muslim community have hit back, saying her attack was politically-motivated.

After quoting 19th century novelist Emile Zola on the love humans owe to animals, Bardot threatened to go into exile unless authorities acted on her
grievances. "Could I be forced in the near future to flee my country which has turned into a bloody and violent country, to turn expatriate, to try and find elsewhere, by myself becoming an emigrant, the respect and esteem which we are
alas refused daily?."

Three years ago, the screen legend had said that the extreme right-wing views of the man she married in 1992 could cause the break-up of their marriage, her fourth. "I argue with Bernard (d'Ormale), I find the National Front too extremist...I would've been better off falling in love with a shoe salesman," she said.

Bardot abruptly ended her film career in 1972 and has since devoted herself nearly full-time to animal welfare causes.

Ummm, I remember her vanishing years before 1972.

#9 I recall seeing "And God Created Woman" when I was in college. Don't ask me what it was about. I understand there was a re-make in 1988 with Rebecca De Mornay--the hooker from Risky Business.
