As an American, I can understand finding it odd to be charged and convicted of a crime based merely on an insulting phrase in speech. The 1st Amendment is a fantastic guarantor of freedom when it comes to speech in this country. Many of the European countries (including France) have suspended freedom of speech when it comes to certain topics (such as direct insulting language towards particular subgroups of the demography of their countries) in order to ensure that past transgressions are not repeated.

Germany bans Nazi symbolism and references out of shame for their past actions and fear of a resurgence of views that mainstream enlightened society has condemned as evil. France and other nations across Europe have enacted similar laws (though generally not as stringent) as a result of several factors, including shame at their complicity with the Nazis (via the Vichy regime), along with a desire to end a history of anti-semitic sentiment (evidenced in France most notably through the Dreyfus Affair) in their nations. These laws have nothing to do with a "Jewish tyranny" (which is non-existant, by the way) of any sort, but rather the development of a national and social conscience.

Greetings JSLTIGER,

Nice attempt at covering up this travesty of Justus. However if the truth
about things that are if fact non-existent were considered in these phony
laws, that would finally end this "De-Nazification" curse and truly shameful
assault on the non-criminals of the EU.
As for Germany: Germany has been ruled by a puppet government, put in
place after the fall of Berlin and will remain a vassal state of the US
Government until 2099. All this shame and false guilt is manufactured to
justify the subjection of the German people and robbing her of the wealth
of her working class. I would like you to know full well that I will no longer
be lied to and remain cowed by this monstrous conspiracy. Hidding the
truth and supporting the myth of Jewish innocents is in it's self an evil act.
But when the light of day has finally broken through (as it has) it is
viciously opposed with vile hatred. As a American, Christian I can assure
you this speaks volumes.
