PRAGUE Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke was detained by police in the Czech Republic on Friday on suspicion of denying the Holocaust.
Police spokesman Jan Mikulovsky said the action was taken because Duke does that in his book "My Awakening," which is punishable by up to three years in Czech prisons.
Duke traveled to the republic to promote the book's Czech translation of the book at the invitation of neo-Nazis.
Mikulovsky declined to give any further details, citing an ongoing investigation.
Prague's Charles University also banned a Duke lecture scheduled there Friday for students taking a course on extremism.
Duke, a resident of Louisiana and a former Republican state legislator there, also was to have given lectures over the weekend in Prague and the country's second-largest city, Brno.

The holocaust shouldn't be protected the way it is. This is coming from a Pole.
You can't advocate freedom of speech and then turn around and ban people from saying the Holocaust never happened.
Siege of Tobruk - One German POW said: "I cannot understand you Australians. In Poland, France, and Belgium, once the tanks got through the soldiers took it for granted that they were beaten. But you are like demons. The tanks break through and your infantry still keep fighting." Rommel wrote of seeing "a batch of some fifty or sixty Australian prisoners ... marched off close behind usimmensely big and powerful men, who without question represented an elite formation of the British Empire, a fact that was also evident in battle."
"As a Internet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."

Is it my imagination or is there a growing amount of sympathy for the Nazis amongst some of our German members?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, it is your imagination.
Since I'm the only German that has posted in this thread, I trust you were referring to me?
You see, I don't give a sh!t about the Nazis or any other political party, you do know the NAZI was political party?
What I do care about is the truth, and anyone with half a brain knows that many of the Holocau$t claims are just made up lies.
Any person can look at their history, debate it, deny it with one single exception, and that is....Germany.
I can say..."I don't believe six million Jews died", and I will be charged with denying the Holocaust, and will be prosecuted, and I can not defend my self with evidence, you can't even bring up evidence in a court trial despite many events that have officially have already been revised.

Russia abolishes free interpretation of history
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has banned any critical interpretation of the role of Joseph Stalin at the end of the Second World War as attempts to distort history. The NRC Handelsblad is critical of the ban: "In Russia the freedom of history as a science has been abolished. Coming to terms with a totalitarian past is a difficult process. For example Germany - which last Saturday celebrated the introduction of a new constitution 60 years ago and since that time has made intermittent attempts to straighten out its own history - deemed it necessary to make denial of the Holocaust a punishable offence because it wasn't sure people would reject these lies of their own accord. But Medvedev's decree goes much further. It turns back the clock to a time before Gorbachev. This edict will not only intimidate the former satellite states of the Soviet Union but also Russians themselves."
