			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSL1584799120080415">PARIS (Reuters) &#8211; French former film star Brigitte Bardot</a> went on trial on Tuesday for insulting Muslims, the fifth time she has faced the charge of <strong>&#8220;inciting racial hatred&#8221; </strong>over her controversial remarks about Islam and its followers.</p>
<p>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 &#8220;destroying our country and imposing its acts&#8221;.</p>
<p>Since retiring from the film industry in the 1970s, Bardot has become a prominent animal rights activist but she has also courted controversy by denouncing Muslim traditions and immigration from predominantly Muslim countries.</p>
<p>She has been fined four times for inciting racial hatred since 1997, at first 1,500 euros and most recently 5,000.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;I am fed up with being under the thumb of this population which is destroying us, destroying our country and imposing its acts,&#8221; the star of &#8216;And God created woman&#8217; and &#8216;Contempt&#8217; said.</strong></p>
<p>She&#8217;s absolutely correct. The woman should be considered a hero, but instead she&#8217;s being prosecuted for saying what she thinks instead of kissing muslim ass like the simpering appeasers in her government. Every time I think the French are finally growing some hair, they prove me wrong. &#8220;Inciting racial hatred&#8221;. Since when did a fascist creed become a race? Muslims are white, black and all colors in between.</p>
<p>The muslims in France, meanwhile, can riot and loot and burn cars literally by the 1000&#8242;s, and be called &#8220;angry youths&#8221;. Their preachers can exhort them to kill every non-muslim they can find, and demand that the government of France give muslims special treatment that ordinary French citizens don&#8217;t get, and the French murmur apologies and meekly comply. But be prosecuted for tromping all over the laws and rights of French ciitizens? No. The government of France is such a cadre of cowards that instead they go after a 73-year-old faded movie star who has more courage than all those politicians put together, to show their muslim bullies that they&#8217;re being dutifully compliant.</p>
<p>For Sale: French Military Rifle. Never Fired. Dropped Once.</p>
