"A Paris court has fined former film star Brigitte Bardot ?11,800 for provoking racial discrimination and racial hatred by writing that Muslims are destroying France."
She's definitely lost her looks.

Racial hatred? Last time I looked, Islam wasn't about race. Then again it seems she's been convicted of similar crimes before, so there seems to be a general theme here.
Here's one to think about:
"Western society is immoral." - Does this sentence incite hatred in us westerners? Should we make it a criminal offence to state this publicly by anyone 'esatern'?
These 'hate' laws are supposed to protect people, which is a good thing, but the hindering of free speech bothers me greatly.

It's not about telling the truth, Alice, nor about being PC. Miss Bardot seems to have a history so she may well be a plain racist. What I'm talking about is freedom of speech and reminding everyone that Islam has no colour.
Remember, that 'PC' brigade are the kinds of people that fought in the past for the common man to get the vote, or you to have free speech (as we know it).
Yet again we have people from opposite sides using loopholes in etiquette -and law- for their own personal gain:
We have Islamic scholars and sympathisers thinking up words like 'Islamophobia' and liken it to racism so that they can divert any real, fair and just criticism away from themselves.
Opposite to that we have real racists spouting off their bile and anger at Muslims, not so much because of the religion, but just use that as an excuse to have a go at 'coloureds'.
Both sides accusing eachother doesn't help the discussion. I just wish we could all be more objective.
Religion

It's what always seems to happen when people's arguments involve generalisations rather than specifics.
There are aspects of Islam, like all religions, that infuriate me and I'll never understand. And there are individual followers of that religion, and all others, that are moral, decent people and deserve respect.
In another post, I mentioned how, looking back, it seems incomprehensible to me that apartheid was allowed to exist for so long. So for politics, also for religion. Some time, somewhere down the line, we'll look back at extremist forms of Christianity, Islam, Judaism, the Hindu caste system, and wonder how they survived for as long as they did.
If we look upon religion as a political force, we are imbuing it with a power and relevance it doesn't deserve. If religion is anything, it should be a guide book on how to live life morally. Adhering to law systems and power factions from centuries or millennia before doesn't make sense.
