It is not the first time that Brigitte Bardot, the icon of French cinema, has spoken out against Islam. In previous years he had received six fines for Islamophobia. According to a BBC report, in 2008 he wrote a letter to then-Prime Minister Nicolas Sarkozy in which he described Muslims as “this population that is destroying our country by forcing their actions on us.” The outrage stems from the treatment of animals, which the actress describes as “inhumane.” In recent days, the actress, who has become an animal rights activist over the years, returned to the topic in an interview with the weekly newspaper Valeurs Actuelles: “Once I would have said that I didn't want to live in an Islamized France.” Today I say that I do not want to die in an Islamized France!” he declared.
The actress talks about the gruesome murder of Samuel Paty, a literature teacher at a high school in Arras, whose throat was slit by a radicalized student in 2020, and the German Filipino tourist who was killed near the Eiffel Tower on December 3 and shouted “Allah Akbar”. “The murderers,” he explains, “are often of Islamic origin and claim so!” Unfortunately, most of them are Français de Papier (immigrants who only have a French document, editor's note) and often psychopaths. “We should subject all arriving migrants to a psychiatric examination before granting them the right to asylum and French nationality,” explains the actress, who says the problem is “Islam in general and the Islamist invasion, which are frighteningly dangerous for French identity .” and culture.”
Bardot is also critical of Pope Francis: “I can’t see him.” It hurts the church a lot. I adored John Paul II, I remember our wonderful meeting, unique, very warm, he was not a politician at all. I will never meet the current Pope. Among his criticisms of the Pope is the fact that he has not responded to his letters. “He doesn’t concern himself with Eastern Christians and never talks about them. When I found out that his name would be Francesco, I said to myself with hope: If he chose that name, it was because he loved animals. I sent him a letter to congratulate him and thank him for choosing this name in honor of Saint Francis of Assisi. After all, I was hoping that he would do more to improve the fate of animals in the world, but he never answered me. I sent him another letter and one of his servants responded by thanking me and saying blah blah. That's why I find it very rude.
