Once again sex symbol and one time movie star Brigitte Bardot was put on trial on Tuesday for insulting Muslims, she has been charged with “inciting racial hatred” when she made remarks about the Islam religion and adherents.
When push came to shove Prosecutors were handed a decision which gave the aging former French Movie Star a two-month suspended prison sentence and fine her 15,000 euros. She made statements accusing the Muslim community of destruction of what she perceives to be her beloved France. It is vague how she comes to these opinions.
Bridget is an animal rights activist and is abhorred by some Muslim practices which call for the sacrifice of animals. Because of this she has opposed the immigration of Muslims into France in the great numbers in which they have occurred. Bardot retired from the film industry in the 1970s after a successful career which brought her fame and considerable fortune.

Bardot has been fined four times for inciting racial hatred since 1997, at first 1,500 euros and most recently 5,000.
