Brigitte Bardot on trial for Muslim slur



When I was younger, Brigitte Bardot was a "hot" number. Today she spends most of her time as an animal rights activist. However it appears she has found some political problems regarding a universal political correctness scenario.

French former film star Brigitte Bardot went on trial on Tuesday for insulting Muslims, the fifth time she has faced the charge of "inciting racial hatred" over her controversial remarks about Islam and its followers.

Prosecutors asked that the Paris court hand the 73-year-old former sex symbol a two-month suspended prison sentence and fine her 15,000 euros ($23,760) for saying the Muslim community was "destroying our country and imposing its acts."

"I am fed up with being under the thumb of this population which is destroying us, destroying our country and imposing its acts," the star of 'And God created woman' and 'Contempt' said.

I guess having your own opinion is against the law unless you happen to be in politically correct / social progressive camp - then you can say whatever you want about anyone.
