Although it seems like a fascist attack on freedom of speech, Europe already has laws that imprison people who deny the Nazi Holocaust. It seems incredible to Americans, but that's why we are we and they are them. We believe anyone has the right to be as stupid as they want to be. That is why the Democratic Party still exists. The Turkish genocide against the Armenians is a bloody chapter of history that has gradually been forgotten. The Armenians' sin? They were Christians.ANKARA, Oct 8, 2006 (AFP) - France risks being barred from economic projects in Turkey if it adopts a controversial bill on the massacres of Armenians under the Ottoman Empire, Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul said in remarks published Sunday.
The draft law, to be debated in the French parliament Thursday, calls for five years in prison and a hefty fine for anyone who denies that Armenians were the victim of a genocide during World War I.
Stern lectures for the logically-challenged. Others have opinions, I have convictions.
