Didn't a former Greek finance minister recently get banned from Germany for political reasons? In France it is illegal to deny the holocaust but legal to deny the Armenian genocide.



One noteworthy example of how absurdly politicized these kinds of speech restriction laws can be. Was the mass slaughter of up to 1.5 million Armenian men, women and even little children and babies somehow qualitatively less grotesque? Or perhaps the speech law itself is a muddled, politically oriented idiocy.
