Brigitte Bardot: Nutjob Going To Jail???

Filed under: Old People > Legal Matters > Francophilia

bardot.jpg

French law officials want to throw the book at 73-year old screen legend Brigitte Bardot for inciting racial hatred toward the Muslim community.

Brigitte (a vocal animal activist) stated in a letter that she wrote to then interior minister Nicolas Sarkozy (now President of the country) protesting the method of slaying sheep during the Muslim festival of Aid El-Kebir.

"We're fed up with being led around by this whole population which is destroying us, destroying our country by imposing its acts," she said.

A bit harsh, baby?????

Bardot was upset because the sheep weren't being stunned before they are bled to death, which is the 'traditional' method.

The letter was published in a magazine and distributed to supporters of the Brigitte Bardot Foundation.

Several anti-racism groups in France filed complaints about the letter, accusing Bardot of provoking discrimination and racial hatred toward Muslims.

Bardot has been convicted of similar offenses on four previous occasions since 1997 and fined $2,250-$7,500.

The court will deliver its verdict June 3.

You'd think that after all those years of being alive the old gal would have gained some wisdom and learned some diplomacy!

    I don't blame her. Arabs have ruined Paris with their riots and car bombs.
    Just because they can't get out of the 6ht century doesn't mean that people turn a blind eye to their barbaric method of killing sheep. Go ahead and eat sheep but stun them before bleeding them.

    Muslim are welcome to act brutally towards each other and other faiths and to sacrifice animals in their own country, however, I strongly believe that they should leave their nasty antiquated religion behind when entering a Western society. The Koran clearly asks of believers to wage war on the infidels, it would help if perez and other bleeding hearts would take the time to educate themselves and find out what Islam is really about; all they need to know is contained in the pages of the Koran. Muslim people are not actually the greatest enemies of Western societies, the real enemies are the Westerners who do not protect the right of free speech that their ancestors fought to win. I say deport them to Muslim countries if they love Islam so much, let them taste the fear and witness the casual brutality committed in these countries, let them see with their own eyes what the absolute subjugation of muslim women actually means. And never, ever let them come back for they are the true enemies of our culture. In šaʾ Allāh.

    Re: Dave – u fuckhead know nothing about Koran u obviously haven't read it so as a jerk all u can do is to repeat what anti-muslims claim. It's a holy book so watch ur mouth and respect it. we all hate radicals in each religion so stop barkin' when all we need is love and respect in this world. AND that is a tradition that has a long, holy and profound story it is not slaying the sheeps it's a sacrifice to God because of what happens in that story. Do not let shitheads manipulate us through religions which are supposed to guide and feed us spiritually.

    I am neither Jewish nor Muslim but Kosher or Halal meat tastes far better than the normal way of slaughter.People ought to desist from imposing their wills on others as if they are so damn self righteous.
    Intolerance is the plague of humanity ,and the tool of politicians to beat humans with.

    One's freedom ends where another one's begin. If anyone stands out and shouts out loud against Pope and Jesus and Christianity or Israel,would everyone again support it? No, it's only against Muslims. What have they done to you up to now? We all know what is actually behing 911 so quit the lies and stop using thounds of people's tragic death against u hate.I'm a Muslim but I'm HUMAN first of all and read this site everyday.It's the haters i don't respect at all here and everywhere.So kudos to Reina Perez.

    Oh i get your hatred,it's 'cos muslims have so much money, so much power and sooo much alliance with them so it's only natural to fear them and say that they're likely to conquer Europe and rule humanity. Right.

    Then again, it's Palestians and Iraqi people who leave European and Israeli kids as orphans and slaughter children every day. That's why they are so much hated. It's because Iraq killed millions in America in the name of FREEDOM. It's because they've caricaturized the prophet of Denmark's religion in a shitious way because there's freedom of speech when it's sacred to those people and shouldn't ever be done so for the sake of respect.

    Somebody said he/she will respect Islam the minute they allow churchs and synagogues in Mecca. I say, start building mosques in Vatican first as an example.

    Tolerance,love and respect people. We come from the same God, one day we'll return to the same God and be equally judged. That day hatred will serve you well i guess.

    PS: It's not slaughtering sheeps, it's sacrificing them in the name of God to show how we're grateful for what God has given us. The meat of the sheep goes to the poor at that time of the year. So called masterminds at Islam, i suggest you read Koran first, from the beginning to end…if you can.

    All those people who say that Muslims hate everyone and want all non-muslims dead better shut the fuck up! Islam means peace. All those terrorists who call themselves muslims are not muslims at all. It does not say in the Quran that muslims should kill people who are gay or Jews or christians. We have to respect everyone no matter what religion or lifestyle they have. We are all human beings and we should respect people's choices. Alot of people are saying that Muslims are told to blow people up if they follow another religion but that is not true. if you are a Christian than I would respect that, not try to blow you up! These terrorists are not muslims in any way! Btw, If you don't know anything about Islam then don't say things about it that are not true!

    Re: imanou – Christians account for about 1/3 of the population, muslis 1/5. Its hard to read your posts because I don't think you know the English language. I compare mohammed to L. Ron Hubbard personally, and while I can only speak for myself, I don't consider him a prophet.

    Re: rabs – So, you're another Muslim who lives here but wants to stifle free speech? Typical. Your religion sucks, and I'm not going to be afraid to say it. You and your people are a cancer on this Society. Unless you can reign in the radical elements of your religion, you will all be destroyed one day. It's really up to you..but you know as well as I you "peaceful" Muslms will never do that because the core of your "religion" won't change…All infidels must die. I'm begging you to disagree with me, but you can't. Your CULT (yes, cult) will not allow it.

    Re: mel
    Hey…maybe you should all read up on why Muslims slaughter a sheep during Eid-l-adha…it is done in memory of what Abraham was willing to sacrifice for God. God asked him to sacrifice his son and he was willing to do it. Then God told him to sacrifice a sheep instead so Muslims do this in remembrance of what he would do for God. And then the sheep meat is given to poor people all around the world. You pay to buy one and have it slaughtered then it is given away. And it is not inhumane. This is the same method Jews use in Kosher slaughter. So maybe educate yourself before making horrible and derogatory comments about someone's religion.

    FREE SPEECH. LEAVE HER ALONE! She's simply stating that traditions should not change for a scoiety who is NOT WILLING TO INTEGRATE. Look at the stats and uprisings in France. You're allowed to have an opinion…or so I thought..

    Re: Dave

    No, the Qur'an does not say that. In the Qur'an, Sura 2:256 it states "La ikra ha fidin" translated into English as "there is no compulsion in religion." That means the Qur'an very blatantly denounces forced conversion. I'm not saying it hasn't been done, what sacred texts say and what followers/believers do can be very different things, in any religion, including Christianity. And those involved on September 11th and Hamas are extremists, NOT representative of the entire community, as are Christians such as Timothy McVeigh and the bombing in Oklahoma and Dr. Baruch Goldstein, a Jew who bombed the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron during Ramadan.

    Before you make statements such as this you should do some reading on the research of religious violence. I suggest "Terror and the Mind of G-d" by Mark Juergensmeyer.

    I am a muslim convert from the west sorry I am where I came from. As for the moron clerics who issue fatwa against people who speak out of islam…its a load of crap. Unless the idiot can find a part of the quran to issue hate-filled fatwa. Oh yeah and muslims eat meat in the same way that jews do(and christian aparently should as well) but we don't get mad as jews because idiots believing in hate already killed most of the jews in France.

    wtf.
    how can i be Persian and Arab at the same time ?
    i don't have any Arab descendants or something,
    and saying you're Persian is just like saying
    you speak Persian. i clarify myself as a Persian
    rather than an Iranian. Persian sounds more right.

Muslims do, you do (remember Indian people ?…), everyone does. You are completely ignorant of the rest of the world (geography, history, culture, … ) and dare to judge them ! Try to learn more about those who are different from you, americans. They are different but not "assholes" or whatever you call them. No, you are not the master people, no you are not the best people ever. You're just one piece of this huge world, so stick to your place and to try get humble sometimes, this would provide you the wisedom you miss

    Oh my God some of ya'll are either deluded or just plain stupid, Brigitte has right of freedom of speech but the term freedom of speech shouldn't be used to inciting racial hatred towards one group.
    And as someone who studies world religion Islam is hijacked and because of 9/11 is under microscope (rightfully) but there are far more worser faiths out there and i don't think there will be Mosque in the Vatican.
    maybe you guys should look into

    Brigitte Bardot is icon who is nutjob, and for some people to jump on the wagon of hatered is bit over the top remember this woman was married to Nazi and those close her claim she hates Jew's and claims that the whole holocaust was lie. Muslim aren't the only one who eat meat on special religious days. How many us Christian's eat meat on Chrismas?

There are people who are muslim who are racist and hate other faiths then i have meet Jews and Christians who hate other faiths come on now use the hate you have on something more good, there over 1.3 billion muslim in the world they just over took us Catholics as the largest faith in the world of course they are gonna be everywhere just as if you go around the world you'll see other races and the way we this going is remind of how the hatered againts the Jews
