Those who feel it right to argue against the “unique monstrosity” of the Germans should be free to do so. No one should be imprisoned for thought crimes. Contrary to how Hollywood and the Israeli-Firsters have it, the Holocaust story is not about Jews. It’s about Jews and Germans together, inseparable, for all time to come.Bradley R.

It is a dark day for Austria and Western Europe. David Irving is sentenced to three years in prison for "denying the Holocaust." It is a shame that Irving didn't make a more heroic stand.

Although Irving doesn't appear to be taking a brave "Here I Stand"-like position, as many would prefer he has made a key point when he commented:"That was no Holocaust denial, that was only (a statement) about a part of the (Holocaust) history," Irving said. This strikes at the critical question of "What is Holocaust Denial?"It appears that criticism of any aspect of the Holocaust amounts to "

"In Germany and in Austria [...] we can't afford the luxury of the Anglo-Saxon freedom of speech argument in this regard. [...] It's not that I don't understand it, it's just not for us."

The West can not stop Holocaust revisionism through persecution and incarceration of revisionists any longer. Iran has demonstrated that the Holocaust is not a taboo subject everywhere in the world. Mohammed Taheri says that it would take 15 years to incinerate 6 million people. For such a comment Germany or Austria would imprison you. How long would it take? Such questions should have answers.

Pat Buchanan has finally weighed in on the hypocrisy of Austria and Germany with regard to the free speech arguments and the Mohammed cartoons. Buchanan points out that "British historian David Irving has spent three months in a Viennese prison awaiting trial on Feb. 20 for speeches he made 15 years ago in Austria." All decent freemen should strongly protest the treatment of David Irving,

Will the Germans realize that limits on free speech means no free speech at all. Why is the Holocaust protected against any evaluation while all other topics are open to discussion? If revisionist arguments are so poor why can't they be dispelled in the court of popular opinion? Why can't the scholars address the charges of Holocaust revisionists? Instead we find books ordered to be burned.

Deutsche Welle reports on the Muslim world's outrage over the recent cartoons of Mohammed. Interestingly they follow the freedom of speech connection between the Mohammed cartoons with controversial viewpoints on the Holocaust which was first pointed out in Iran. Still the writers fall short of demanding freedom for Germany's thought-criminals. Germany and Europe have arrived at a cross-roads.

This one comes from Ralf Dahrendorf writing for the New Straits Times. Dahrendorf is the author of numerous books and a former European Commissioner from Germany, is a member of the British House of Lords and a former rector of the London School of Economics. Dahrendorf makes a logical case. He argues that "for free societies to flourish, the boundaries of free speech should always be widened

Here is an interesting piece. The David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies has issued their annual report on Holocaust denial. The article suggests that the Institute is supportive of the persecution of revisionists by the countries of Austria, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. The Wyman Institute doesn't appear to understand that this persecution is one of the

Apparently the Arab world is taking notice of the West's increasing intolerance of Holocaust revisionists. Here we see that both the cases of Roger Garaudy and David Irving are mentioned. The persecution of revisionists and the absolute refusal to allow open debate on this one subject -- the Holocaust suggests to any objective mind that someone has something to hide. If Irving and Rudolf and

It seems that a week can't go by without Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad making the news. Although this one doesn't have much to do with the Holocaust, it does confirm my thoughts on the Iranian President. Ahmadinejad is not the sort of guy you want to befriend. Although some revisionists were happy to see a head of state call the Holocaust a "myth," this is the same head of state who has

On Thursday, December 15, in the southern city of Zahedan, the Iranian president asked why the Palestinian people should be forced to pay if it is true that Jews were massacred by Europeans. I think it is a nice question.

The often thought-provoking Edgar J. Steele has posted one of his excellent "Nickle Rants" about being listed as a Holocaust denier by the ADL, entitled "Holy Holocaust!". Rather than recant and kiss the anus of a goat, Mr. Steele damns the torpedos and goes full speed ahead.

Bruno Gollnisch, a member of the European parliament has expressed a very normal and objective opinion with regard to the famed Nazi Gas Chambers. Without taking any stand, he merely said, "it is up to historians to decide." Imagine being asked about the Kennedy assassination and responding, "I don't really know, it is up to historians to decide" and for that opinion, being brought up on charges

The President of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has made the headlines again. This time for calling the Holocaust a myth. As I pointed out a few days ago, Ahmadinejad isn't the type of person you necessarily want to take sides with. Still, I wonder exactly how "myth" was translated from his native language. Even in English, we have a few definitions and the word is not generally understood. Webster's

Although some revisionists may rejoice at the comments made by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad this past Thursday, the reality is that the President of Iran makes for an unlikely and unattractive "bed-fellow." Iran has been noted for human rights abuses and although their constitution guarantees freedom of religion, deviations from Shi'a Islam, the state religion are dealt with harshly. Christians are

This is a call for Austria (and the other countries of Europe which have thoughtcrime laws in place) to free David Irving and other historical dissidents by Christmas. Austria could minimize its shame by releasing Irving by Christmas. Germany could minimize its shame by releasing Germar Rudolf by Christmas as well.Let us recall the Christmas truce of 1914.

This interesting story comes from the Index for Censorship. Find the Website below. It is probably no real surprise that David Irving would find a few of his books in the prison library where he is currently being held for thoughtcrimes committed in Austria. Clearly the books were in the library as they were both best selling historical titles. What is most disturbing here is the final line: Adam

This is a simple but almost unheard of argument in favor of intellectual freedom for Holocaust revisionists by a working journalist. Of course, he's a Brit.

In Austria, this thoughtcrime comes with a 10-year prison sentence if convicted.The first question one must ask is what exactly is "Holocaust Denial?"

Until a few years ago, the British author of "Hitler's War" was usually described as a "controversial historian." But in April 2000, a British high court judge held that Irving not only had denied the reality of the Holocaust but was an anti-Semite, a racist and a neo-Nazi sympathizer who "

Mr. Irving was arrested last Friday on a warrant issued in 1989 under Austrian laws that make Holocaust denial a crime.

This is a passionate, unstudied statement by Frederick Toben of the Adelaide Institute upon learning that Germar Rufolf will be extradited from America to Germany on 14 November to serve a minimum of five years in prison for revisionist thought crimes.
