SHOULD HOLOCAUST DENIAL BE ILLEGAL?

Many European countries have outlawed holocaust denial. My friend thinks this is a good idea and that America should have similar laws. I disagree.
Years ago Harpers magazine did a study masquerading as "scientific" that claimed that Irish people and Africans were nearly racially identical and that it's a wonder both hadn't gone extinct. The article was pure racism and nowadays I have no doubt that a story like that would never see the light of day and that even if a reporter was dumb enough to write something like that his/her credibility would be forever lost. I think that America's current attitude toward this type of "reporting" reflects how much more enlightened an age we live in. And I don't want the one reason no one writes that the holocaust never happened to be because it's illegal and not because it's just so abundantly clear and documented that it did happen and anyone claiming otherwise is just blinded by their own racism. You can't always depend on public opinion to regulate morality fairly but if you don't give it a chance you are giving up faith in humanity and if you don't have that I don't see much point in living.

But it will be illegal and considered a hate-speech crime as well.

Soon it will be illegal to deny omnipotent control over government, media, banks and globalism.

It depends on which country you are referring to. In countries like Germany, Austria, Czech, etc it makes sense given the historical context. In Britain, Ireland, Portugal, etc it would be disproportionate.

Free speech all the way. That way it's easier to spot these idiots.

I think deniers have bad attitudes, but censorship does more harm than good.

I agree it shouldn't be "illegal". People can make whatever outrageous claims they want. If someone wants to deny that the Holocaust happened, I can either ignore them, or disprove them by demonstrating the range, scope, depth, and quantity of information on World War II and the Holocaust.

If other myths, like making soap from human fat, have been officially dismissed as Allied war propaganda, why serious questions about the rest of the Holocaust mythology?

For more than fifty years Jewish scholars have spent hundreds of millions of dollars to document each Jewish victim of the Nazi Holocaust. The Nazis were German, obsessed with record keeping.

Yet only 3 million names have been collected and many of them died of natural causes. So why is it so wrong to doubt that fewer than 6 million Jews were murdered in the Second World War?

The Holocaust myth makes Jews the ultimate victim no matter how they dispossess or dehumanize or ethnically cleanse the indigenous Palestinian people. The Holocaust narrative allows Yad Vashem, the finest Holocaust museum in the world, to repeat the mantra of "Never Forget" while it sits on Arab lands stolen from Ein Karem and overlooking the unmarked graves of Palestinians massacred by Jewish terrorists at Deir Yassin.

^Free speach is free speach. It should not be illegal at all, BUT along with free speach sometimes comes ignorance. Example.

Let's put it in a hypothetical this way, if you're in a room that is half full of idiots, which also has the nuclear button in it, wouldn't you at least like to know where the idiots are, so you can keep them away from it?
