It will be interesting to see which 'journalists' who have spoken out against his sentence, and the Holocaust law in general will have to say regarding the impeding--I really hope I'm wrong-- Islam powered Blasphemy law.
While many on this baord blast this law, Europe has its reasons for having this law. They want to make sure an important part of its past is not re-written by modern 'historians', and holocaust denial statements are essentially viewed by Europe as hate speech.

Yep. The reason is that Europeans are still Nazis at heart and haven't figured out that free speech means free speech.

European elites have this thing about what they call "hate speech". What it usually means is that you criticized something the elites are trying to force off on society.
The Holocaust denial laws are quite a different thing.
