Bardot on trial for allegedly inciting anti-Muslim hatred 1 hour, 28 minutes ago



PARIS - Brigitte Bardot is back on trial in France, facing charges of fanning discrimination and racial hatred against Muslims.

In a Paris court hearing Tuesday, prosecutors said they are seeking a two-month suspended prison sentence and a $23,900 fine against the former screen siren and animal rights campaigner.

Bardot, 73, was not present for the hearing. A verdict is expected June 3.

A leading French anti-racism group known as MRAP filed suit last year over a letter that Bardot sent to then-Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, and which was published in her foundation's quarterly journal.

In the letter to Sarkozy, now the president, Bardot accused France's Muslim population of destroying France, and complained about the Muslim feast of Eid al-Adha.

French anti-racism laws prevent inciting hatred and discrimination on racial or religious or racial grounds. Bardot has been convicted four times for inciting racial hatred.

This exactly where political correctness, which is not rampant just here but probably more so in Europe, leads to; tyranny from the minority, right down to the individual. I am so injured as a person that I demand that the entire nation does what i say!

This is what happens with hate crime laws and legislation.

Canada has them now too. It is definately at threat to our freedom of speech and thought. Any laws proposed like they have in Europe and Canada should be stopped.

The thought police have Bardot of trial!
