The Germans ban expression of Nazi symbols and words, don't they? Sitting here today it's hard for me to defend my Dutch kinsmen. But Europeans have seen ethnic hatreds cause fifty million deaths in a period of ten years. I firmly believe Islamic fundamentalists are as fascist as Hitler. But to compare the Koran to Mein Kampf goes too far, does perhaps border on hate speech.
