If we don't like what somebody writes, we can just sue them for inciting racial hatred.
Brigette Bardot was fined $6000 for saying, among other things, that she was "against the Islamisation of France" in her book, A Scream in the Silence. She was convicted of "inciting racial hatred," which is kind of curious, since Islam is a religion, not a race.
Those silly french!
But here's the really ironic part. The same folks who fined Bardot for inciting hatred just gave Michael Moore the Palme d'Or for the very same thing.
I guess it all depends on who you hate, n'est ce pas?
