There are limitations for freedom of speech , anywere . You may , for example , not attack [ verbally ] the King of Belgium personaly . You can say that the kingdom is bad . And in Belgium there is freedom of speech . This limitation of freedom of speech for Holocaust denyers , has other reasons . Free countries in Europe suffered very much of the freedom of speech allowed to extremist . The same with democracy , the nazi [mis] used the democratic rules to come to power , and then abolished the democracy . Freedom of speech is therefore limited for some subjects , not only in Germany or France but also in other democratic states . What i wanted to say , that if they complain about the limitations in Germany , they have not to complain so much , in other countries you can not say anything . To go to jail HERE ? As long as you abide to a minimum of the rules NO . In Israel there is a free speech . And this is very well used [ only security divulgations are [ auto] censored ] Look at some articles in the papers .

It is not a crime to express your opinion at all, however, when it comes to certain sensitivities, for example, matters of the holocaust, one has to have balls to say something nasty against it. Not only that, but its not the opinion itself that is stated but the way that it is stated.

I do not know if you are muslim , if you are , what did you say after a paper in Danmark published those caricatures ? Free speech ? there are also stories regarding the christians , if you are one . Also free speech ? You do not believe in those little green men ? They exist , you are a lyer , how is it possible to be such a anti green men racist ? You place is not in jail , that's yet to good for you . This was not serious of course , a laugh from time to time is welcome
