i'm not talking about what is ignorance and what is right
for me it's idiocy to show a man who has established the greated civilization ever,the biggest empire ever as an ignorant,violent,and idiont man
Even f it was idiotic, people still have a right to believe and say idiotic things. What if someone tried to silence you because they thought your beliefs were idiotic?

i'm talking about freedom of speech,it's duplicty
i'm not denying haulocust at all,but how come i'm not free to say whatever i want?!
how come there is a charge called Antisemitismus
!!
I agree. People should be allow to say what they want. I don't agree with the laws that forbid holocaust denial and antisemitism, even though I strongly disagree with such sentiments themselves.

People who deny the Holocaust are usually from some right wing group who are very antisemetic which is Racism which is a crime.

I don't think denying the Holocaust to be a crime (the European union does) in itself but when its done with the intent of antisemetism it becomes racism which is illegal,Holocaust deniers are indeed ignorant of the facts.
I'm glad we're allowed to think & express racist thoughts here.
Our leaders are to opportunistic, malevolent & stupid to wield such power over speech.
Of course, I've no more respect for British or EU leaders either.

weren't they?!!
you really don't see that Europe and USA fighted islam in all ways?!

Please explain to me how you think Muslims in, say, Scandinavia are being treated unfairly, or, if that's too difficult (which I'd understand as not everyone is on the up and up on Scandinavian politics), in northern Europe.

I dislike racism as well, but I also dislike censorship. The best way to combat false notions is with education and rational rebuttals, not through imposing silence and stifling freedom. Any and all ideas should be openly expressed, but also openly critiqued and scrutinized. Governments trying to police people's thoughts and feelings is too Orwellian.

I agree that censorship goes too far but where do we draw the line,recently at a Football match some Bananas were throw on the pitch followed by racist abuse directed at the black players.

The line is drawn at actual threats, harassment and actions that victimize or violate the rights of innocent people. The banana throwing is obviously a public disruption.

There is a difference between someone merely stating "I detest the English" and someone following you around tossing limes at you.
