French actress Brigitte Bardot died earlier today in France at the age of 91. She not only leaves behind a prolific and groundbreaking filmography, which you can read about here, but a legacy of animal rights activism and prescient criticisms of the Islamization of her beloved France.
And while you absolutely must watch some of her movies, and I second this list of recommendations, it's that last part I want to talk about today.
A still camera can't adequately convey all of Brigitte Bardot's magic.

See her movies.
I'd recommend:
And God Created Woman
Contempt (Le Mepris)
Viva Maria!

Brigette Bardot was right about Islam, and what it was — and still is — doing to France. For speaking out about Islam, Bardot was tried and found guilty several times in French courts.
In 1997, Bardot was fined for "inciting racial hatred" for criticizing the Muslim ritualistic slaughter of sheep. She called the practice "torture, signs of the most atrocious pagan sacrifices" and complained about the "foreign overpopulation." She was ordered to pay $1,600 but faced up to one year in prison and a $60,000 fine. She was cited again in 1998.
Two years later, Bardot was cited again for "racial hatred" over remarks she made about the number of Muslim immigrants in France. According to The Guardian, Bardot criticized Islam in the book "Le Carre de Pluton" (Pluto's Square), again attacking the Islamic slaughter of animals and writing, "My country, France, my homeland, my land is again invaded by an overpopulation of foreigners, especially Muslims.
In 2004, Bardot was ordered to pay $6,000 for "inciting racial hatred" for a fourth time, writing in her book "A Scream in the Silence" things that a court described as "inflammatory rhetoric on immigration, homosexuality, the role of women in politics, and unemployment."
She was convicted for a fifth time in 2008, for saying the Muslim community was "destroying our country and imposing its acts" on France. The courts fined her $23,000 and gave her a suspended two-month prison sentence.
Less than a decade later, Islamists carried out a bloody terror attack at the Bataclan nightclub, killing more than 130 people and injuring more than 350 others.
In July 2016, a terror attack in Nice killed at least 84 people, and that same year, the Centre for Geopolitics & Security in Realism Studies found that 91 percent of French people saw ISIS as a major security threat to their country.
There was also the terror attack at Charlie Hebdo, and in 2020 alone, there were eight terror attacks, including another attack outside the Charlie Hebdo offices and the beheading of a school teacher in a Paris suburb.
In May of this year, Le Monde wrote an article about the threat posed by the Muslim Brotherhood and the spread of its ideology. Citing a "confidential government report," they noted the Muslim Brotherhood "poses a long-term threat to France's national cohesion" through "gradually eroding secular values at the local level."
Here I have to ask: given all we know, where was Badot wrong? Paris was forced to cancel its famous New Year's Eve celebration this year (along with public Christmas celebrations).
Why?
Well, as our own Dmitri Bolt wrote:
Paris has canceled its New Year's Eve celebration along the Champs-Élysées amid growing security concerns and is replacing it with a pre-recorded video and a televised countdown.
The city's celebration last year drew a crowd of one million people along what many describe as the “most beautiful avenue in the world.”
But because of mass migration, the event is no longer considered safe by the city's police, who urged city officials to encourage people to watch the fireworks from their living rooms.
Champs-Élysées has recently been plagued with violence and lawlessness, as groups of Muslim migrants take to the streets at night, looting luxury stores, and getting into fights with police and others.
For many years, Bardot was the face of Marianne, the woman who symbolized France's liberty. It was a deserved honor; Bardot was talented, beautiful, breathtakingly sexual, outspoken, and everything that embodied France.
She was also intelligent and perceptive, and absolutely right about Islam and what it's doing to her beloved France. Instead of dragging her through the courts and imposing fines, French authorities should have heeded her warnings.
That liberty, that Marianne of which Bardot was once the face, is being subjugated under an ideology that is the antithesis of France and Western values. Instead, the culture is bending the knee to Islam because being called "racist" is a worse crime than sacrificing millennia of culture and tradition.
And as much as Bardot will be missed, I am glad she won't be here to see it.
