Ms. Tasin was tried, convicted, and fined by a French court for those words. As she says in the video below, this means that a French court has applied sharia law, and has punished her for a crime not seen in France since the reign of Charles X (1824-1830).
She’s a gutsy woman, and she’s going to appeal her conviction all the way to the European Court of Human Rights, if necessary. I don’t have a link to any legal defense fund for her, but those who can read French may be able to find one at the Résistance Républicaine website.

Translation of the fixed text on the screen:
Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights from 1948:Video transcript:
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
| 00:00 | In France there is at least one Islamic Court. | |
| 00:04 | It is the Court of Belfort. The judges of Belfort | |
| 00:08 | have just applied Sharia in France. | |
| 00:12 | They have decided to apply Article 22 of the | |
| 00:16 | Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam, | |
| 00:20 | that is, Freedom of Expression is | |
| 00:24 | granted within the limits of Sharia. The judges of Belfort | |
| 00:28 | have just sentenced me to a fine of €3,000 | |
| 00:32 | (€1500 suspended) for saying that ‘Islam is | |
| 00:36 | crap’. It is evident that with this | |
| 00:40 | they are restoring the criminal offence of blasphemy. | |
| 00:44 | Even better: they restore the crime of sacrilege, | |
| 00:48 | which was used for the last time in France under the reign of | |
| 00:52 | Charles X. We are in an unbelievable regression, | |
| 00:56 | an unbelievable barbarism linked to Islam, | |
| 01:00 | because let’s remember it is only everything | |
| 01:04 | concerning Islam which has such consequences. | |
| 01:08 | Everyone can say that Christianity is | |
| 01:12 | crap, that Buddhism is crap; no-one | |
| 01:16 | will find themselves in court. In France | |
| 01:20 | one cannot say that Islam is crap. 13 years ago | |
| 01:24 | Houellebecq was acquitted for saying that Islam was the | |
| 01:28 | most idiotic religion. In 13 years we have regressed | |
| 01:32 | to find ourselves in the era of Mohammed. | |
| 01:36 | All this at the very moment where they sell Christian | |
| 01:40 | girls and women in Iraq, in the name of Islam. | |
| 01:44 | They sell them as slaves in the name of Islam. And they want to condemn me | |
| 01:48 | because I say that Islam is crap? All this at the very moment | |
| 01:53 | where the Islamists of Boko Haram kidnap | |
| 01:57 | little girls, force them to ‘marry’ and make them slaves in the name of Islam. | |
| 02:01 | And one wants to forbid me to say that | |
| 02:05 | Islam is crap? The fact of the matter | |
| 02:09 | is that Islam is indeed a gigantic pile of crap! | |
| 02:13 | who could doubt it, seeing the examples I have | |
| 02:17 | just cited, and God knows they are legion. In the name of Islam | |
| 02:21 | they cut throats all over the world. In the name of Islam they kill. | |
| 02:25 | It seems that Muslim associations, | |
| 02:29 | instead of filing complaints against me, should | |
| 02:33 | fight so that Islam is not all that, | |
| 02:37 | and not to prevent me from expressing my concern, | |
| 02:41 | the danger to me and my refusal of this barbarism. | |
| 02:45 | So it is obvious that I will appeal. One cannot | |
| 02:49 | accept that in FRANCE one is condemned for saying | |
| 02:53 | that Islam is crap. This would mean that | |
| 02:57 | this judgement would create a precedent and that freedom of | |
| 03:01 | of expression would be dead for everyone from then on in this country. | |
| 03:05 | Of course we count on you | |
| 03:09 | friends, supporters, militants, | |
| 03:13 | and friends of human rights to help us in this second battle | |
| 03:17 | Please send your donations to “Resistance Republicaine” | |
| 03:21 | Thank you everyone. http://gatesofvienna.net/2014/08/christine-tasin-convicted-of-sacrilege-against-islam/ |
