Were Muslim "radicals" right?

Were Muslim radicals right?

http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/opinion_columnists/article/0,2777,...

Talk about playing into radical Muslims' hands: Germany wants to extend a version of its own ban on Holocaust denial to all 27 European Union nations. "Under the German proposal," reports The New York Times, "those who deny the Nazi slaughter of Jews could face up to three years in prison."

This is awful public policy for multiple reasons. The most obvious is that it would further cripple freedom of speech in Europe, where it is not always robust to begin with.

But the proposal, if enacted, would also reinforce what radical Muslims often claimed during the uproar a year ago over Danish cartoons poking fun at the prophet Muhammad: They called Westerners hypocrites who enforced their own taboos on speech - and mentioned Holocaust denial as the main example.

And in a perverse sense, the Muslim radicals are right: The most credible opponents of any specific taboo on political speech are those who consistently battle against all of them.

There ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. NO STRANGE SENSE TO IT MY FRIENDS!

You see, the zionist/khazars who run the world, the banks and the media (TV, Newspapers, etc.), have the freedom to degrade and make fun of Islam and Christianity's prophets and God's but when it comes to speaking an idle word against the issues with regard to the Jewish-Holocaust ...well...that's just not exceptable.

What a double standard from hell. But then again these Turk/Mongel/Ashkenazi/Jappeth-sons are expert LIARS and have always been out to suppress truth while simultaneously propogating their lies to embolden their next lie/action.

I wish God would stop these vipers.

Peacetroll says, “I wish God would stop these vipers.”

I wish WE (the rest of us) would stop these vipers.

And yes they are LIARS. No Jews were gassed. Many of the so-called “death camps” never existed. There is no trace of them.

Auschwitz, Poland – 6 million, 4 million, 2 million – today the plaque there says 1.5 million “most of which were Jewish.”

Propaganda about the “6 million” appeared in Zionist literature well before the Nazi era started. LIARS!

Why is the article talking about Muslim radicals?

It has been obvious to everybody who wants the truth over everything else, that:

1. The "cultural editor" of the Danish paper Jyllandsposten, not only published the cartoons in his paper, he actually commissioned them. He is a Zionist.

2. The idiot, Zionist or both Danish prime minister went out of his way to insult Islam and Muslim countries by refusing to meet with their ambassadors. He claimed that there was nothing to talk about and that the freedom of speech in the old Danish democracy is absolutely holy.

3. When Iran's president issued his invitation to discuss the holocaust at a conference in his country, it was immediately called a "holocaust denial conference" and Torah true Jews have paid dearly for their participation as their synagogue in New York has been burned down and they have been banned from ever entering the "Promised Land".

You do not need to be a Muslim radical to see that, you do not even need to be a Muslim, you just need to use your head, but the way the Zionists and their useful idiots are pushing our world that becomes more and more painful every day.

By the way, how come that the documentation of the Holocaust is still not open to public scrutiny? Is it not a bit early to send people to prison for expressing opinions, which are not allowed to be substantiated? How far have we come in barring facts from playing a role in European court proceedings?

To me it appears that Holocaust has taken the form of a religion for the Jews as well as for the Gentiles. The Jews, who most often have a superficial relationship with God at best, use the Holocaust as a substitute for religious faith to enhance their image as the oppressed even if they constantly demonstrate aggression. The Gentiles can express themselves in the most blaspheming way about our Lord, but they have to stick with the official Holocaust doctrine as overseen by the Inquisition of the court system.

If we do not fight back now we shall be in deep trouble.

... is the only sacred creed nowadays.

You can deny God, but you go to jail if you deny the 'Holocaust'.

Not many agreed with Galileo when he was imprisoned. What about Zundel?
