And here is another place where the german government skates on thin ice.

"Volksverhetzung is a punishable offense under Section 130 of the Strafgesetzbuch (Germany's criminal code) and can lead to up to five years imprisonment. Volksverhetzung is punishable in Germany even if committed abroad and even if committed by non-German citizens, if the incitement of hatred takes effect on German territory—that is, the seditious sentiment was expressed in written or spoken German and disseminated in Germany (German criminal code's Principle of Ubiquity, Section 9 Paragraph 1 Alternatives 3 and 4 of the Strafgesetzbuch).[2]"

I remmember this situation arising in Denmark.
The justice minister took it upon herself to "go along with the program", and had a group of people arrested. Within 24 hours, they were released by the court, who decided to go along with the Danish Constitution, rather than "the program".

Exportation of tyranical restrictions of Freedom Of Speech are NOT acceptable.

The german people are "free" to accept tyrany within their own borders, if they so choose.
The german government however, is NOT free to export that tyrany to other lands.

Again, restrictions on Freedom Of Speech, lead to restrictions on Freedom Of Thought.
