Brigitte Bardot is taking heat for various comments in her recent book. For instance:

"I am against the Islamisation of France. For centuries . . . our fathers gave their lives to chase all successive invaders from France."

I consider that not just historically accurate (more or less, in the larger Europeans against Invaders from the East sense...), but a perfect valid opinion, and one with which I agree.

So, who's doing the complaining? "The antiracist group MRAP and the Human Rights League," presumably among others.

MRAP's home page is here. They say they work with the Human Rights League. Much like A.N.S.W.E.R. works with NION. They want to Free Mumia! as well. They are (or were) against the Iraq war.

This page says: "[MRAP,] close to the Communist Party, is led by Mouloud Aounit..." They've even got a creepy kid's magazine. ("The Little Red Non-Royal Proletariat Prince?" --ed.)

They tried to ban an Oriana Fallaci book that said similar things as the Bardot book.

According to this backgrounder on Muslim politics in France, Aouni is an Algerian.

Here's MRAP's condemnation of her book. They compare it to Third Reich propaganda, say "Because racism is not an opinion but a crime," suggest a boycott by booksellers, etc.

MRAP and Aounit are mentioned in the Weekly Standard here and here, and not in a good light.

Perhaps someone who's either read the book or who knows more about MRAP's deeper connections might want to comment, but for now I'm going to assume that MRAP and A.N.S.W.E.R. are fellow travelers.

UPDATE: In answer to the first comment, apparently MRAP was not a plaintiff in the suit against French author Michel Houellebecq. In fact, MRAP's friend organization the Human Rights League, while originally backing the suit, backed off "when the plaintiffs cited nasty comments about Muslims by characters in Houellebecq's most recent novel, "Platform," as evidence of his criminal intent..."

Also, this page is a bit out-of-date, but it has a lot of information on the "new and improved" France.
