A few points:
1. Germany is not seeking extradition. I simply said that he would be jailed upon his return to Germany as he has been convicted in absetia.
2. he never lied about anything to gain citizenship, and that has no bearing on his status.
3.The Canadian government is holding him as a security risk, not because he personally poses a threat but because he could influence someone toward a violent act in the name of anti-semitism.
4.He does not deny that the Holocaust happened, only the scope.
I had hoped for a lively discussion and after a lull I got all that and more. I dislike the politics of this man and his beliefs but I do believe he is entitled to all the rights and freedoms we enjoy. If we inprison every person who espouses beliefs we do not hold, without first convicting them of a crime then we become a police state.
thank you all.
