Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It's not illegal in most of Europe. If you say it in most of Europe in polite company you'll get punched most likely, but you won't get arrested.

It's literally only Germany which have made it illegal for the fairly obvious reasons

It's not just Germany, it is17 countries. That's most of Europe.

The laws don't always say "it is illegal to deny the holocaust" ... but you have to look at the way libel laws are used. Britain actually convicts on counts of libel for holocaust denial (see historian David Irving). They have laws on incitement to hatred and offensive communication that are used should one post a story that mentions holocaust denial (see Allison Chabloz).

My point still stands. Seeing all those countries with laws like this could make a reasonable person suspicious.

Wow David Irving is a twat. Here's a poem he wrote for his infant daughter

I am a Baby Aryan
Not Jewish or Sectarian
I have no plans to marry an
Ape or Rastafarian.

Yep. But he shouldn't go to prison over being a twat.
