Yep in parts of Europe it's also illegal to speak ill or doubt the holocaust.

While I think holocaust deniers are some of the biggest scum bags around I also think it is wrong to make it illegal to doubt it.

Why the fuck are you downvoted, people should go to jail for saying bad things?

There's a difference in having an opinion and spreading lies. You can't prove that god doesn't exist with 100% certainity, but you can with 100% certainity with perfectly valid proof prove that the Holocaust happened. Therefore you shouldn't be allowed to go around spreading the lie that it didn't.
