What do people think about this? Should Irving be
in jail?
No, but his books should, by law, have some sort
of statement put on the covers, something to the
effect that his views were refuted, are considered
historically inaccurate and unsupported, and that
the author was censured for a form of historical
revisionism that, if accepted uncritically, could
motivate hate crimes.
They publish Mein Kampf, don't they? The Satanic
Bible? The Anarchist's Cookbook? They used to
allow the Saudis to fill US prisons with
Wahhabi-biased and distorted Korans...maybe they
still do. Then there's all the extreme evangelical
Christian stuff...caveat lector.
