Reminds me of Oriana Fallaci. Gotta love these fearless women.

Kishke:

And Hirsi Ayan, who is now leaving The Netherlands, for the state is unwilling to protect her any longer. She will now probably make her home in America.

Maybe BB will emigrate to America too.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali is a wonder! If only she would not extend her fight against Islam to religion as a whole. But really, who can blame her?

Why should she attack religion as a whole, if I might ask?

Hospital: Not sure of your question. If you're asking why she does, it's b/c she has been badly burned by religion, and therefore opposes fundamentalism in all religions. If you're asking why she should, I wouldn't know, b/c I believe she shouldn't.

Hospital:

The point is, Bardot should be free to criticize religion without being persecuted and prosecuted by the State. Nothing she has said has resulted in one act of violence.

France does not prize liberty, it's that simple. They value appeasing their hostile jihadist elements.

In the end, this will mean the end of France.

Robert, I think Hospital was aking about Hirsi Ali, not Bardot.

Somewhat related commentary in National Review by Mark Steyn. And don't miss the pic of Bardot and Buckley.

Franco-American summit [Mark Steyn]

Since I brought up the whole "Steyn is the Brigitte Bardot of Canada" business, several readers have emailed me this link to the IMDB page on BB, which features, in what's otherwise a gallery of movie stills, this terrific photo of Bardot & Buckley - Brigitte shaking hands with WFB at El Morocco back in 1965.

I wonder if, among all the tributes to Bill, we didn't pay enough attention to his sheer cool. It was very important to the nascent conservative movement, and we could use a bit more of it today.

Kishke is correct. I was writing in reference to Ayaan Hirsi Ali, not Brigitte Bardot, and questioning why in Kishke's opinion she should be attacking religion as a whole rather than simply criticizing Islam as she is doing.

By the way, my username is "Hospitaller", as in the Knights Hospitaller or Knights of St. John of Malta, not "Hospital".

Kishke, Hospitaller:

She attacks Islam because:

1. Every terrorist on planet earth is a Muslim. There's a connection.

2. Because her genitals were mutilated in the name of Islam.

3. And because she needs 24/7 protection from Muslim jihadists who want to kill her because of a religious fatwa ordering her murder.

Real Name:

Thanks so much for the Steyn link and the great Bardot-Buckley pic.

That is historic.

and questioning why in Kishke's opinion she should be attacking religion as a whole

Hospitaller: I hope I have clarified that I don't think she should, but can understand why she does.

Mr. Avrech, I understand she attacks Islam for those reasons, and I approve of her doing so. What I'm uncertain about is Kishke's statement that he wishes she would "extend her fight against Islam to religion as a whole".

I understand the crimes of Islam, well enough, but what has "religion as a whole" done to deserve this hostility from him?

Hospitaller: I hope I have clarified that I don't think she should, but can understand why she does.

Ah, I see. My mistake, sorry.

Scratch that, I'm really, really sorry. Cringingly apologetic, in fact. I hope you'll forgive me for misunderstanding you.

*proceeds to kick himself for being so idiotic as to misread something so completely*

H: A moment before reading your last post I realized you had misread me. No harm done.

H: Any relation to my friend Templar from Dirty Harry's? :)

A moment before reading your last post I realized you had misread me. No harm done.

Oh, good. That's quite a relief.

Any relation to my friend Templar from Dirty Harry's? :)

How'd you guess? My writing style? Yes, it's me, Templar from Libertas. I would have registered through TypeKey as Templar, but it seems someone already had it, so I went with the next most famous Catholic military order.

How'd you guess? My writing style?

That, and by having read that the Templars, after being forcibly disbanded, were assimilated into the Hospitallers.

Heh, that's rather oddly appropriate, considering the circumstances. Good call.

"Bardot is being prosecuted—for the fifth time—for insulting Islam." (Robert J. Avrech)

No. Brigitte Bardot has been prosecuted, convicted and coercited for claiming that Muslims are ruling France and destroying its culture.

"Meanwhile, Jew-hating Imams safely spew hatred and call for violence from hundreds of mosques in France"

Evidence?

"The gutless French"

Really?

"the one woman in France who dares speak the truth"

Really? Muslims are ruling France? Sarkozy is Muslim?

"Seraphic Secret has long maintained that within two or three generation [...] France will be an Islamic State ruled by Sharia."

Evidence?

"Bardot should be free to criticize religion without being persecuted and prosecuted by the State." (Robert J. Avrech)

She is.

Nicolas:

Thanks so much for your comments. In fact BB is not free to criticize Islam for when she does she is hauled into court and fined. This is not freedom.

"In fact BB is not free to criticize Islam for when she does she is hauled into court and fined." (Robert J. Avrech)

When? Her last convictment is for claiming that Muslims (a bunch of people, not a religion) where ruling the country (and destroying it). There is a law against this in France. "://www.kibush.co.il/show_file.asp?num=28774">In 1886 the French antisemite Edouard Drumont published 'La France Juive' (Jewish France), creating the false nightmarish image of a France dominated by Jews, and sowing the poisonous seeds which came to fruit when Vichi French officials collaborated in the mass muder of French Jewry."

"This is not freedom."

There is never total freedom, deal with this.

I remember

Bardot is right, facts don't lie.
Islam is a curse upon people.
For there is no freedom in turning your back on it, this is what is written in the Koran.
So Bardot is right, whatever any judge says.

"Bardot is right" (Alexander)

Really? France is ruled by Muslims? Sharia is the french law? Nicolas Sarkozy is Muslim?

"They value appeasing their hostile jihadist elements."

Wow the paranoia on this blog is insane.

And I can't tell if comments like this are a joke (I sincerely hope they are):

1. Every terrorist on planet earth is a Muslim. There's a connection.
