Wrong but not criminal

I am in material disagreement with laws in European countries which outlaw holocaust denial, the swastika, Mein Kampf and many other traces of undoubtedly loathsome right wing thought. Therefore I think it is completely wrong that German courts have found Ernst Zuendel guilty of holocaust denial and sentenced him to five years incarceration.

It is not a crime to be wrong even if you are very, very wrong.
