I'm sure she can afford it (the fine only amounts to about $6,000), but has anyone considered setting up a "Brigit Bardot Defense Fund?" If you'd told me someday I'd consider sending money to a rich, dessicated, batty animal rights activist, I'd have laughed, but if the city of Paris can embrace cop-killer Mumia, perhaps we should give them tit for tat. Free speech for France! It's an idea whose time has come.

The French have gone mad. They have said good-bye to freedom of speech. I wonder, though, how adequately they police mosques and Muslim publications to make sure that their hate speech is censored, and that the speakers and publishers are a drawn out for a public excoriation as well a hefty fines. For some reason, as France is rapidly reaching the Muslim tipping point, few, if any, Muslim hate-speech prosecutions will be made.

A pall of silence comes over the France. The French are so verbal; this must be doubly cruel. When those that can't abide being muzzled flee, where will they go? Quebec is rapidly being Islamized. Algeria, of course is out. Maybe they can go to a French-speaking Caribbean Isle. Is there one that would be large enough to accommodate all? Which other French-speaking country could become their refuge? It appears that there is probably none. Too bad, for refuge, they may have to learn American English, a fate worse than death for most, or perhaps they will come here, as have the Muslims, to Louisiana, to reclaim the lands "that once were France."

Sharia law is now allowed to be practiced here in Ontario, Canada. I was shocked to hear that. It crept in so quietly, hardly anybody is aware of it.

Guess the Muslim males will be voting Liberal, eh?

Well, according to Paul Martin, that's the Canada you Liberals like.
Steve Harper's Canada, what, without kyoto, Sharia laws, gun control, gay marriage, is the Canada you don't want, according to the latest liberal add.
Are the liberals now campaigning for conservatives? it sure seems like it...

Ms. Bardot is unfortunate that she is in Dhimmiland (France) However, we still have a fellow patriot named Andrew Whitehead at Anti-CAIR that we can support.

It's time that these people realize that they're in our yard, we're not in theirs. There's a link to Anti-CAIR on this site, and I recommend it to anyone (if any) that hasn't visited it yet. It makes sme very good reading.

No one mentions that racist attitudes of Mohammed who called black people 'raisin heads'.

That sharia law nonsense is in Ontario only, Nat, not the whole of Canada.

how a book can incite people into rage and riot is beyond me? peacful religion hey once again,pffft
i guess brought up in a culture were people can speak what they want i dont think of rioting in any sense, u know the old childhood saying "sticks and stones" maybe that should be written into the koran ?
no other religion does this, its truly twisted
and also shame on the french for treating their own icon in this manner, french born french bred with french culture shame on them

I am truly terrified. It's not just a matter of where will the French go, but where will ALL OF US, go. I'm truly truly scared.

"The French have gone mad. They have said good-bye to freedom of speech"

Actually it's more perverse than that. It's only those who criticise the immigration policy who lost freedom of speech.

If you want to burn US and Isreali flags at protests scanding "Bush & Sharon = Hitler" and other filth you're free to do so.
You also have the right to say "Baise la France et Nique les Françaises" if you're a "youth" (french PC euphemism for someone with an immigrant background).

Guess the Muslim males will be voting Liberal, eh?

Daninvan, I guess you never saw that picture of Sami Alaryan arm-in-arm with George W. Bush?

PS... guess the Klansmen will be voting conservative, eh? I wonder how Timothy McVeigh voted? How about Jesse Helms, liberal or conservative? David Duke, liberal or conservative?

GD, its so easy to beat you children at your own game.

Sharon, don't be scared. When France, or the Netherlands, or the UK falls, the rest of us will wake up and WORK TOGETHER to fight the jihadi terror.

Maybe its all about the money? Saudi& friends have trillions of dollars, mostly from us. They use it to buy influence amongst every non-muslim nation (that's how they have an automatic majority at the United Nothing). Also consider the "generous funding" for western university "Middle East Studies" programs. And they use it to provide terrorist training in every muslim nation.

That should be food for thought when you're pikcing out your next SUV.

"David Duke, liberal or conservative?"

He was a Democrat long before he thought the Republicans would welcome him. Oddly enough, he was wrong; the national party campaigned AGAINST him.

What about Robert Byrd? Sheila Jackson Lee? Cynthia McKinney?

Brigitte Bardot improves with age.

One wonders if KJ knows it was the Democrats who beat down the original Civil Rights legislation in the late 1800's.....

About Canada and Sharia law -- this is a repeat...

The Canadian Islamic Congress (CIC)-- having successfully gotten Sharia Law in Ontario -- is now attempting to establish Sharia Law in Manitoba, and according to an Asian Pacific News article, the President of the CIC is trying to get it introduced into British Columbia. The goal is to have all the prvinces in Canada under Sharia Law.

And the reason Islamists champion the ultra left-wing party, the NDP -- It is NOT because the Islamists agree with "gay rights" or "women's rights" -- it's becasue the NDP support a change in Canada's electorial system -- a switch from electorial ridings to "proportional representation." Proportional representation would allow political parties to obtain seats based solely on how many people vote for candidates listed on a roster -- the candidates would not be fixed to a particular, geographic riding district -- the candidates would simply represent the views of a political party. The NDP wants this (because it would allow the NDP more seats) and the Islamists like this. The Islamists could establish a religous party promoting Islam. And with proportional representation it doesn't take much for a relatively small party to have considerable political power -- these sorts of governments form coalitions...with the smaller splinter parties holding lots and lots of sway.. These sorts of governments also tend to be far more radical, less moderate as a consequence...

The way things are going in Canada we HAVE to get a Conservative government in power for at least one term, so we can re-arm ourselves for self defense. Never doubt that we will see more and more radical violent Islamist action here. Our governments have proven over the years that they not only can not protect us but that they are not prepared to. Even our police officers are frustrated by the judicial and political system. We need to go out of our way to help and support our officers when they need evidence against these terrorist types that even bleeding heart, liberal judges have to accept.

Malcolm,

Did you happen to see the article in the Jerusalem Post entitled, "The Black-Red Alliance?" The author alleges: "The European Marxist-Islamist coalition does not offer a coherent political platform. Its ideology is built around three themes: hatred of the United States, the dream of wiping Israel off the map, and the hoped-for collapse of the global economic system." The "party" is also intent on the recruitment of suicide bombers...

If Doer tries something stupid like a Sharia court in Manitoba, He'll be history in a heartbeat. The native population alone will be on the warpath, they despise muslims, and there is no way they will let the government give precidence to immigrants over their long standing issues. Not a chance. The rest of the population is Christian as well. Sask. even more so, and the further west you go, the stronger Western Canadian values get, until you get to Vancover, which becomes a melting pot again. I'm not sure it would gain any traction their either, considering the large Asian, Shiekh and Native sections.

Liberals=liver-alls which sounds like cover-alls

I knew from JS about the BC sharia but now they got Manitoba. Hmmm. To the guy who thinks this is a bloated issue (maybe keith), you are WRONG as wrong can be.

Let France fall to the Islamists and then we can repeat Normandy Part II. This is not a shocker. Based on previous World Wars and this of course being the First War on Terror (WOT I), it is only logical that France will fall and the US will save the day. God bless the US and Ronald Reagan. Do not give up hope the power is with us aka the US.

Anonymous,

PLEASE don't call this the war on terror! The last I looked, the IRA and UDL weren't on the list of combatants.

This is a war against an ideology, not a tactic.

Sorry to rant, but I'm getting tired of the hiding that's going on behind the useless moniker "War on Terror" Let's get the identity of our foe out there for all to see.

Hugh said: "Brigitte Bardot improves with age."

You betcha!

I'm beginning to give up realistic hope for the UK too.

Yesterday there were three elections to take part in the Mayoral, the local and the European. One would think that with all the crises in the world at the moment people would be keen to have their say in matters that greatly affect us all such as asylum, immigration, whether or not to keep our pound, the EU constitution, the environment, etc.

However, when I went to vote 45 minutes before the polls closed I noticed from the forms that only about 20% of the other residents in the street had turned up at the polling station.

Such apathy is very disheartening, especially in light of the fact that most people eligible to vote are parents. They had nothing to say for or against the continual influx of muslims immigrants into an already overcrowded island which is a very likely candidate for islamic terrrorism. What kind of a world do they wish their children to grow up in?

How much hope is there for us if this is part of a trend of indifference which I think it probably is?

Quite right, Bill. The West seems so apathetic and indifferent. A similar attitude is also expressed in Canada. It's so what if Canada is the first Western nation in the world to have a jurisdiction (that's Ontario) under Sharia family law? Who Cares? That's the attitude.

And about Manitoba -- they have a very strong and well-organized Muslim community in Winnipeg. The Muslim community is far more organized and dedicated than any Native American (Indian) group.

To give one example -- Muslims have (since 1995) established their own private Islamic schools in Manitoba. (In the United States, btw, church and state are strictly separated. In the U.S. you cannot open a private religious school and demand that taxpayers fund the school -- that would be in violation of the Constitution and the separation of Church and State. Not so in Canada -- in provinces such as Manitoba, you can have public monies (taxpayers dollars) going to fund private religious schools. Thus you get publically funded Islamic schools opening in Manitoba, Alberta, etc.) And, I think, it's only a matter of time before you get Muslim demands for private adjudication of disputes -- through Sharia Law Courts. Thus the push to get Sharia Laws applied in each province in Canada.

I would have thought that a just solution to the problems Islam brings should be addressed by all governments, I recently wrote to my M P about Abu Hamza Al Masri, and a Programme called Sharia TV; part of the response he gave me was that "perhaps" we might be better bringing our attention to the fact that only one Arab State affords Christians with freedom of worship, and does it in an honourable way ; having 4 Churches !

We must all by now realize that Islam is trying to sweep all other faiths out of the Arab World,and dominate other States, yet we have afforded them every freedom to worship at home, at work, and at Mosques which have been amply allowed without let or hindrance. would it not be an injustice to allow persons of faith in foriegn lands to be abused and defrauded of their spiritual needs when we are so charitable and full of good example. What if we were to follow their example and exclude them their rights (born of democratic ideals) and tell them that because they have not reciprocated in their own land to the religous needs of Christians. Europeans deny them the right to worship ostentatiously in the workplace, limits and reduces the mosques and sends home the excess of those who profess to be Muslims.
At a recent meeeting I made this point (but not in such detail) and my Catholic colleagues were of the opinion that we must show them good example , I was of the opinion that Justice is a two way street.

Ah, but you see James, you are expecting reciprocity. You expect that if you treat individual X like so (whether for good or for ill), the person will reciprocate in a similar manner. Unfortunately, I believe that "reciprocity" is an entirely Western concept. In certain cultures, reciprocity simply does not work.

Another "misunderstanding" is also at play here... For example, the allegation that Muslims have a double standard -- that is, Muslims come to the West and receive all sorts of freedoms (including the freedom of religion) yet in their home countries, they will openly persecute all non-Muslims. Westerns believe this illustrates a "double standard." But, if you listen to Muslims, there is no "double standard". That is not how Muslims see things. When Muslims talk about "freedom of religion" or the "freedom to practice religion" they are referring to the ONE religion -- and that ONE religion is Islam. There are no other "religions" -- there is but one true religion. So some foreigner not getting to practice an "infidel" faith in a Muslim country is accepted, even applauded -- that's the way things should be (especially when a Muslim figures he or she has all the answers and there is no doubts...In fact, I don't think you can express doubts and claim to be Muslim...) Similarly the notion of "tolerance" -- the term "tolerance" does not mean what Westerners typically expect -- ie., to adopt a "live and let live" philosophy. For a radical Islamist, tolerance means teaching Westerners to accept the "wonders" of cutting off the hands of thieves, stoning adulteresses, beheading apostates, and so on. That's "tolerance" Islamic style...

I don't know how to combat some of these problems... but it does appear that there are two extremes to be avoided -- 1) one is to turn into fanatical zealots and go head-to-head with Muslims, not allow them anything; 2) the other is to turn into an abject appeaser and allow Muslims everything... (I would prefer to reach some happy medium...but I don't know if that's possible..)

Dead on JS. That was well put.

I think that the only way to see Islam is to see it on the same level as Nazism. Neville Chamberlain appeased Hitler, and Hitler just took Chamberlain and democracy for a ride. Hitler , soon as he was elected he destroyed that democratic system.
You're dead on right JS, there is no recipricosity in Islam. Yet, what to do? It cannot be banned, as that would bring charges of discrimination of religion. However, it must still be fought, but how I don't know.

To Bill and J.S. Regarding apathy and to Sharon regarding being scared:

Some really amazing things have taken place recently that should give us all hope. First of all, Mel Gibson's movie about the passion of Christ has been viewed by over 50 million people in the United States alone. This despite the fact that Hollywood elitists said it would bomb and said that people don't want to watch that sort of movie. Like usual, they are totally out of touch with the silent majority,(and we have been incredibly silent.)

Secondly, the outpouring of respect, love, affection, fond memories and good manners this past week in regard to President Reagan's passing is a true breath of fresh air. 105,000 people paid their respects at the Rotunda in DC as the liberals totally freaked out and couldn't say anything for almost an entire week. This means more than we know. It means that middle America is still alive and functioning, still expressing itself when some deeply meaningful event takes place.

People were transformed by The Passion of the Christ and they were transformed by mourning for President Reagan. Both these events caused us to pause and reflect. It is these two incidents of reflection that give me hope that Americans will soon stand up and say enough is enough. We are tired of the Islamic rantings and ravings, we are tired of being silent in our own country when some Moslem person bitches about unfair treatment and we have to bite our tongues because it is not politically correct to offend them. Screw them! (But pray for them too.)

I no longer hold my tongue when Islam comes up as a topic of conversation. I discuss with my friends and family the dangers of Islamic raticalization in OUR country. I, as the head of my household, will NOT tolerate being spoken down to, being dismissed or being treated as something less because a lot of Stepford Moslems forget their manners the more comfortable they become in my country. They only get away with this if we let them. They will keep having more and more kids in OUR country, which increases the likelihood that they will become a dominant force in America in the next fifty years as they increase and we decrease. The majority rules. I am not willing to accept defeat, give up, throw in the towel, etc. when it comes to our Moslem problem. But I can make a difference if I open my mouth and say, "No, this is wrong." Imagine what would happen if the next ten people who read this said, "I'm sorry, but I will not allow you to get away with that in MY country. If you want to do that you'll have to go back to your own country because we won't allow that kind of behavior here." We can take our country back. It is not too late and they are not invincible.

Have any of you seen the movie "Miracle?" Go rent it and watch it. It is a 101 class on how to win against a seemingly invincible foe. Remember when we thought the Soviet Union was unbeatable in ice hockey? It mirrored our belief that they were all powerful in our fear of world domination. And then we beat them. And we beat them because we woke up one day and believed that we could. Don't be afraid, Sharon. Together, if we stand up and tell the truth, we can defeat this foe of decency and humanity, of compassion and kindness, and we can relegate it to the ash heap of history, just like Reagan did with Soviet style Communism.

Have a good night, everyone.

I am French .
I am and will always be an unconditionnal,though not always uncritical,
supporter of the United States.

The 60 th anniversary of D - Day was a welcome lull in the anti-american downpour
that is plagueing France currently.
It was an occasion to see the faces and hear
the few remaining voices of the boys of Omaha,Utah,and other beaches.
The face of simple heroism.Salt of the earth.

How can we have come such an incredible and long way,that there is not a day in pretty
France that doesn't hold its share of vilification
of the US .By the media,right or left,(if there is still such a thing) by the vast majority of
politicians,by the Muslims and the Anti-Globalists-Anti-Sionists,by a scarily large number of people who have no eyes,no ears,and ...no memory.

If I was a chauvinist,I would be ashamed of being French.

Fortunately,I am just in rage.

While I don't necessarily attack all Muslims, I have to admit Bardot spoke well.

Nepal Zetov, you wrote:

That's the key: no memory. Most of our modern anti-culturalists, whether they be American or European, badly want to see memory destroyed.

Well, this American doesn't forget the Marquis de Lafayette, either. Paix a votre pays et peuple--le deuxieme patrie de touts les gen civilizee (sorry: my computer can't do accents).
