Hypocrisy within hypocrisy: not only are holocaust denial laws an attack on free speech, but in the law itself, one type of genocide denial is allowed while another is not.

Criticising a non - existent God is different to denying the murder
of 6 million Jews & 6 million other people for
which the evidence is over whelming.

There is no elephant in the room.

So just to be clear Bobby, limits to freedom of speech is contingent upon how overwhelming the evidence is on the particular topic in question?

Presumably you would support gaoling/fining people for claiming the earth is flat or that man-made global warming doesn't exist?

The limit on ANY speech should be veracity...based on evidence.
And 'man-made global warming' is still under discussion/dispute.

In this case, claiming that Jews 'made up' the Holocaust for personal ( Jewish) gain is clearly NOT true.

I have come around on the holocaust denial issue.

Good for you.

I'd be really interested if you elaborated on that FD. On the surface this seems an extraordinary thing to say for someone like you to say this. You've previously said you support people having the right to do things like vilify muslims through racial caricatures and march down the street demanding people be beheaded for insulting islam - now you are saying its a bit more 'complicated' when it comes to holding an opinion on history??

People can be motivated by racism to mock Muhammed or deny the holcaust. It can be an expression of their racism. It should be a legally protected expression. The expression is not in itself racist.

Protecting racial expression shouldn't extend to protecting incitement to violence - agreed?

I would not censor sprint's posts, for example. It depends on whether it could be reasonably expected that actual violence would result.

Yes, it depends on context of time and place - as I've been saying all along. To take an extreme example, disseminating racial caricatures of scheming jews in Nazi Germany would be rather inciteful wouldn't it?

How does Sprint's comments to (for example) indiscriminately raze mosques to the ground stand up against Australian hate laws? I'm genuinely curious. I frequent another forum - based in the UK - who censors any holocaust denial because it violates several European laws.

So let's see gizmo. You're saying we should put limits on what a person can say based on what someone decides is proved by the evidence. Absurd!!! Clearly you're so desperate to justify the double standard of allowing anti Muslim hate speech and bannining anti Jewish hate speech that you come up with this rediculous justification. Global warming you say is still up for discussion. And yet the UN says its beyond doubt. Does that mean you should be put in prison for denying man made GW. And where does that put people with new ideas. Just ignorant!!!! You're absurd double standards are half the reason were in this mess with so called terrorists.

Umm No Global Warming is STILL 'disputed' by scientists who ARE actually AS 'qualified' as the scientists who support it...which makes AGW a 'NEUTRAL' concept, at the moment...so, NO the UN (a political organisation) is WRONG on AGW.

And banning anti-Jewish 'hate speech' (like Holocaust denial, which IS incorrect) is very different to banning Islamic extremist 'hate speech' which IS true, based on the Charlie Hedbo attack, and the the Lindt chocolate attack and any number of OTHER incidents...

Sorry, but Muslim extremists DO , in fact, commit verifiable attacks on Western society, on a regular basis...whereas there is zero proof that the Holocaust idea is anything other than true..

I know you might 'hate' Jews, or Israelis... but actual reality shows that Muslim cause far more deaths and damage than the Jews do.
