Holocaust denial is a criminal offense in many European countries, is tort libel in Britain, and should be regarded as evidence of mental illness in any civilized nation.
I think these holocaust deniers are a danger to themselves and others and belong in straitjackets in rubber rooms.
And theyre not mentally well until they disavow their delusional belief in the Holohoax.
The Holocaust was REAL. Holocaust deniers are delusional.
Scizophrenia is a mental illness. Paranois is a mental illness.
Holocaust denial is not a mental illness - it is simply a belief based largely on lies and distortions of history.
Calling it a mental illness is imbelilic and dishonest....what next - burning witches?
The irony here being that you have no problem at all with racism, lying about history or distortions as concepts - you only have a problem when other people do it.
Holocaust denial is indeed not an illness. Nor should it be a crime (in my opinion). It is a stupid falsehood and denial of historical facts. But lying and being stupid are in and of themselves not crimes.
