Holocaust Denier Gets Three Years in Jail

Denying the Holocaust is stupid, but is it criminal?
Certainly some of the "facts" will be forever lost to the fog of war, and honest people can argue and disagree on things like how much Hitler actually knew about, how many people were executed versus died from harsh conditions (which is a very minor distinction). Some people could even deny the whole holocaust just to get people to think about it and discuss it.

But I have a big problem with arresting people for merely stating an opinion. What ever happened to "I may disagree with what you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it" ??
