How do you feel about anti-Holocaust Denial laws?
)
June 22nd, 2009
Holocaust denial is illegal in 13 countries, including France, Germany and Israel.
The Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, and the United Kingdom have all rejected Holocaust denial legislation.
In Europe, citizens are covered by the European Convention on Human Rights which states: “Everyone has the right to freedom of expression.”
Don’t get me wrong, I personally think that Holocaust Deniers are complete idiots and generally xenophobic ignoramuses. However, I hold freedom of speech and expression very highly and because of that I have to accept there are people who have unpleasant opinions as I’m sure there are people who find some of my opinions to be unpleasant.
