I think it is an outrage to imprison Holocaust deniers, or anyone who peacefully expresses any opinion. The Holocaust deniers should be allowed to freely dispense their nonsense in the free market of ideas, where their claims will be correctly recognized for the lunacy they are.
But what possible harm do such unhinged thoughts cause? They are par for the course in the Mideast, but no one who has seen the gruesome photos or who has followed the historical record can express any reasonable doubt about the reality of the Holocaust.

Better to laugh at the deniers, in my opinion. Consider them harmless, which in the main they are.

Islamic Jihad should be informed of similar cultural practises when they threaten the lives of people like Salman Rushdie, Van Gogh etc etc ad nauseum. Find out who they are and deliver a Hellfire missile from a Predator. That will make them think twice before issuing their fatwahs.

Amen. Let's teach them, good and hard, not to resort to violence to solve problems.
