Sorry, I was being a bit flat out, , just a little angered.
I understand their argument, but personally, I have seen too much not to believe.
Diplomatic Immunity. Were going to wishing we arrested him in about a year once they nuke Israel....
Damn where's the emoticon for me rolling around hysterically on the floor laughing??
You actually think there's a bigger chance that Iran will nuke Israel than Israel nuking Iran?

The only problem with his position is that he himself does not understand the true political hierarchy involved with this enslaved religion.
Anyone wishing to do some reasearch will find
The Holocaust Rescue efforts of Rabbi Weissmandl very informative about how much in fashion were or were not the jews around WWII.

Just to add a note, anyone who questions the numbers, locations, names, deaths, or methods of torture pertaining to the concentration camps is labeled a "Holocaust Denier."
I think the bigger conspiracy here is over the term "Holocaust Denier," meant to be used on anyone who questions any part of the Holocaust.
Automatically, people assume they deny the Holocaust ever happened, which is far from what their stance is.
It's a propoganda word, because no matter what the critiquing person's point is, people will always think the "Holocaust denier's" belief is invalid because the Holocaust had occurred, even though the critiquing person was never denying the Holocaust, but rather questioning the numbers or other miscellaneous information.

The point that I don't get....even after all this conversation is...
How can someone be charged with a lie, if the lie was not in a court of law???
If I lie to someone, am directly causing them harm? Or are they just too dumb to figure out the truth themselves?
Would you happen to have come across the term 'The Final Solution?I think might give you a clue as to what all the fuss was about if you found out about it.

The Holocaust happened.
Its as simple as that, you can deny it, and it is in your natural rights to if you want. Arresting him for denying the holocaust is fine, do it, but arrest the thousands of others who have denied it too.
Hmmm?
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Arrest him when he visits the EU, see what would happen.
What the hell is all I have to say.
I don't think the argument is about the Holocaust happening, it did, no doubt, the problem is that it may have not been as extensive or "Jew" orientated as the prevailing history writes it. The problem with this law is that it is intended to keep people from researching WWII and its ramifications.
Because the point of the Holocaust was to wipe the jewish population of Europe out completely.The other groups that were exterminated were killed because they were considered racially inferior or impure or because they did'nt fit the criteria for being a member of the masterace eg ;disabled ,metally impaired.Jews were considered to be sub -human by the Nazi's.

You know, a lot of people died in the holocaust.
Romanies, disabled people, Polish and Russian prisoners of war, slavic people, homosexuals, political dissidents, communists and jews. Of course, jewish people made up a large proportion of the numbers. All were summarliy rounded up and executed
So - why is it that those who wish to push this argument repeatedly, over and over again, want to make it solely about jewish people? - it wasn't.
I suggest that the people who choose to make it about one group do so out of reasons that have no place in a modern, civilised society, where everyone is equal

Someone had brought up the point that most of the "Holocaust Denial" laws are instituted in Europe and not America. And as someone else stated, Jews in the area are free to be Holocaust Deniers. I think the reason for the laws being there and not here, yet, are that over there, there are still people who remember how it really was and can attest to any falsehoods that might be uncovered. After all, the war was fought over there, not America. So as I see it, the ruling elite who are the ones that see to the passage of laws are more interested in silencing first hand whiteness's who are more inclined to be found in the effected countries.
If you wanted to silence the whiteness's of the civil war in the United States, you would pass laws in the United States "Civil War Deniers", these laws would not apply to Europeans.

Good for you Rinoro2 you speak the truth.I've never understood holocaust deniers.If the Holocaust never happened how come there are still Nazis alive today who talk about their participatin in it and still say they have no regrets?Are they making it all up as well.Just watch the Hitler,sorry ,History Channel etc for loads of documentaries .We had a good series in the UK called the World at War which is often repeated on documentary channels.Remember that sometimes you get neo -nazis from sites like Stormfront coming on sites like this to spread Nazi propaganda.

Nice try at twisting my point. Not going to work.
The holocaust laws cover all elements of the holocaust, not one particular party to it.
Its only seriously misguided people and those with an axe to grind against jewish people that try and paint it any other way.
And like I said, that way of thinking has no place in a civilised society where everyone is equal.
