He's been convicted of speaking out on something he thought was right. I don't agree with him, but it's bullshit that he can't express his views. Canada should set him free.

It was and is very important for Germans to understand and be educated about this part of their history.
3, It is proposterous arrogance for Canada to judge its only legal system more valid than Germany's. We are not talking about sending someone back to a dictatorship tro face torture and trumped up charges, we are talking about charges made by a democratic and legal country... you do not have the right to withold criminals from other countries because you do not agree with their laws... of course, you understand this when America's laws are broken, but when it's someone else, when the victim is someone else who is not like you, perhaps it all seems rather different? I dont know - i cant speak for you, but thats how you make it sound.

Denying the holocaust won't make it happen again. What's truly preposterous is the fact that Germany has laws restricting speech. The charges are bullshit, the law is bullshit.
