Examples please. The only situations I've seen that have involved holocaust denial have been either very radical Islamics or Nazi wannabes. > > And the question is not whether or not the speech is anti-semitic, the > question is why is anti-semitic speech widely recognised as being > irresponsible to publish and an accepted curtailment of Free Speech > when and other types of bigotry, or racism, religious insensitivity > etc. does not enjoy such understanding. > > > Because this isn't an opinion.

Actually I was commenting on MD's point that the Rwanda and Serbia genocide attempts were not planned. Lets try another one. Currently in Turkey its illegal to claim that there was an Armenian genocide in 1914-1919 where over a million Armenians died. Armenians are a very distinct ethnic group that extend from the Trans-Caucus area (thing Georgia, Armenia etc) through the eastern shore of the Mediterranean. You can be jailed in Turkey if you even question the denial policy. -- Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays instead of serving you if he sacrifices it to your opinion.
