Bardot fined for anti-Islam remarks

Jun. 4, 2008, (CWNews.com)

A Paris court has fined Brigette Bardot €15,000 ($23,000) for instigating hatred for Muslims.

In December 2006, Info-Journal published a letter in which the one-time French film icon wrote of Muslims: "The entire population is destroying us, destroying our country, imposing its culture.” Judge Nicolas Bonnal said, “Her words clearly refer to the Muslim community and assume the character of a reaction.”

Bardot had been fined on two prior occasions, in 2001 and in 2004, for words inciting racial hatred.
