I agree with the person for 29th Septemeber 2010 in some ways. The same can go for Jews.

I’m not much of a fan of BB, but, I do admire her for her animal rights. I wonder what Cancer UK feel about her considering they experement on animals.

She didn’t even say anything racist or against religion! I guess that would be the same as speaking out against Nazis and going to jail for it. Good thing I don’t live in France I live in a non-Muslim country with free speech so I can say France is so stupid for putting up such a law that makes it illegal to express concern over Muslims. It’s ok for Muslims to say ‘Death to everyone who insults Allah’ but a French lady can’t say she is tired of them imposing their death culture onto France? That is really scary that Europe and UK are giving in to Muslim radicals. Look Up Brigitte Gabriel who is an ex-Muslim Lebanese warning about extremist Muslim about their plan to impose their barbaric Sharia Law onto every country they can. If you allow such terrible and DANGEROUS LAWS bad things will happen.

Hurray for you Brigitte these Muslims are like cockroachs they spread and then they take over your country. Watch out America it can happen here. They marry wife after wife and then they expect the system to feed them. They spread there religion as fast as they can imagine. If you ask me they are discriminating on the French people. America is so stupid as and the Muslims know it. They burn our flag and hate us but continue to come over and spread there Muslim ways. Watch out America they will be doing the same thing here as they do in England and France. Do you think they have any heart for the people in 911 if they had a heart they would not be wanting to put a Mosques down the street. They would out of respect never do that but no, they don’t have any respect for America or it’s people. This is not a hate letter it’s a truth letter.

I am concerned that in many of the posts here it is accepted that Bardot was guilty of racism, when she is, in truth, guilty only of maligning religion – in this case, Islam and a particular aspect of its many barbaric practices. It is irrational and totally unacceptable to equate a legitimate loathing of religion with racism.

It all sounds great when all you’re silencing is ‘bigots’. The problem lies 10 years down the road, when someone decides to start silencing the speech of their political opponents.

Then you’ll cry foul, but it’s too late, because you’ve now armed them with the most dangerous weapon in a government’s arsenal – precedent.

you are not free as an artist to write your opinions, ideas or feelings in France? I could understand someone trying to sue her maybe, but being criminally charged is ridiculous to say the least.
In a public way could mean many things. Someone’s own artistic expression is not there to be bought and read mandatorily. There are plenty of books, articles, etc that I choose not to read. I do not see how you keep trying to justify this muzzling.

headache,

If it wasn’t a public announcement or didn’t reach an audience outside the private sphere, no, there would not have been a prosecution.

She went overboard regarding the law by speaking those words in a public way.
You are, of course, allowed to speak your mind if you’re not addressing a large audience.
She could only have been sued (by an individual though, not organisations) if she had racially insulted someone in private.

Inciting to racial hatred is a public act.

Hope this helped.

So, Bellatrix, if I understand you correctly, if she said it on a street corner to one of her friends, she probably wouldn’t have been prosecuted at all?
