    Aren't there plenty of laws like that in america? I don't know the details, but I keep hearing about the patriot act.

    Altough I'm no supporter of the Patriot act (not that it matters since I don't even live in the US), it seems there's at least some wits and sensible purpose behind it. But if somebody is stupid enough to believe the crimes of WW II never happened... Well, I'm not sure stupidity is a valid reason to send someone to prison.

    It could be argued such a person would have pure political reasons for trying to convert other people to his way of thinking, but no society with a decent school system would leave anybody devoid of the actual historical facts, anyway, so there shouldn't be around too many blank minds who would just absorb false teaching like that as the truth. So, if somebody converts to charlatanic believes concerning the holocaust, he does already know what he wants.

    The link seems to work OK for me, though. Must have been some temporal glitch for you.
