Oh How the Mighty Have Fallen


Or, I imagine so at any rate.


A Paris court has convicted one-time film star Brigitte Bardot Tuesday, June 3, 2008, of provoking discrimination and racial hatred by writing that Muslims are destroying France.

It's odd, Oriana Fallaci and Bridget Bardot get in trouble for stating the obvious about some Muslim immigrants, not odd that they criticize, or surprising that they're in trouble for it - it's odd that it's the women who speak up and there aren't more men willing to do the same. Burning cars and rioting promotes racial hatred -- remarking on who was doing the burning doesn't.
