COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE GUARDIAN
This had to be one of the more disgraceful trials in modern
history.
The very idea of something called "Holocaust
denial" being a crime smacks of the days of the Church prosecuting people
for having the wrong beliefs.
We have many, many things in this world, facts, which yet
many either deny or question.
People believe fluoride in water is dangerous. People
believe America never landed on the moon. People believe Saddam actually had
weapons of mass destruction. And people believe, many of them, that the
official story of 9/11 is false.
Nothing could be more wrong than trying them as criminals.
You want to argue or debate with them, fine. You want to
demonstrate with books or articles their mistaken belief, fine.
