It's not an 'opinion' it's a lie, there's a difference between the two, and with something like Holocaust denial it's important to acknowledge it as a lie because calling it an opinion demeans the truth of what happened, it suggests that it may not have happened, (the use of the word 'opinion' in that article makes their agenda - as well as that of this thread - pretty clear), and AProducer'sWetDream has made some excellent points as to why that's wrong and how damaging it can be. It's all well and good to trot out a "freedom of speech" and "yeah, but... jail?!" line, but whilst ignoring the reasoning given for her punishment and dressing her up as just an innocent historian investigating something, it makes these arguments in defence of her pretty thin. She hasn't been sent to jail for 'having a wrong opinion', she's been sent to jail for repeatedly promoting a dangerous and racist lie that seeks to defend/ignore the slaughter of 6 million people. Beyond disgusting and I've got no sympathy for the horrible old nazi at all.
