    This is the typical example of the double standards being practiced by West/US against Muslims

    All the champions of free speech where are you ?? doesn't this effect your "right to free speech"

    That's Austria. Both Germany and Austria have a guilt complex because one has executed the Holocaust, the other is Hitler's birthplace. The two nations are not representatives of the Western World, especially in their strategy of brutal buttkissing as another member has so well put it.
    You can say whatever dumb thing you want in the U.S., even deny the holocaust. The alarming thing is that you misinterpret any news about anything going in the west. Get real. Where do you stand on the Palestinian/Israeli conflict?

    As Blogmaster said. Free speech doesn't exist in every country.

    Yea. I pointed out (as did others) in a few other recent threads about the history of the region being important. That's why the law is on the books.

    If you are interested in free speech & freedom of the press, Freedom House puts out reports about it.

    now you see David Irving was deported from Canada and is also barred from Australia and New Zealand, Italy, SA and has also been refused entry to US at times

    he was arrested by the Austrian police and was sentenced by an Austrian court
    now the BIG Questions is

    If David Irving can be deported and can be tried in Austria than why can the cartoonists be handed over to a Muslim country and be put before a court ????

    We cannot prosecute your hatemongers, the ones who promote hatred against Jews everyday on Al Jezeera. No other societies have as many as Islamic run nations. Not just on TV, also school teachers, everywhere it is the thing to make sure your children hate Jews and Americans as much as you do. So don't give me your bullshit about a double standard. It's a choice of the Islamic world to be segregated from us "infidels". Don't tell us what to do in our societies, as long as you don't have any respect for human life, dignity or rights.

    I think he's from Australia. Irving sounds very Australian.

    Yep. Here's the deal. He made the speech on Austrian soil, which made it a crime in Austria and thus he is punished under their laws:

    So, I guess the overall rule is when in Rome, do as the Romans (and obey their laws).

    And the news was free to report it .. Nice try, guys. Seriously - you seem to be too brainwashed to even have a halfway intelligent conversation with.
