Yes - and on a global scale, a mob threatening to torch his belongings, calling for his beheading, and attacking the property of the government(s) of which some of your "mob" are citizens. On a more local (National) scale, a mob threatening legal action and attempting recourse to those notorious kangaroo courts, a Human Rights Commission. Remind me again why you think this is an act of cowardice Robbo - quite aside from the issue that freedom to speak on <i>any</i> issue in no way implies responsibilty to speak on <i>every</i> issue. Oh, Robbo - person could have quite a busy life just following you around the blogosphere pointing out where you had come across as an imbecile. Just pointing it our woudl eb a full time job - actually correcting you would take a small staff and a high tolerance for unhinged lunacy. “…because you have a mob backing you up.”

But when it comes to Muslims, you shriek your outrage from the highest mountaintop for all to see because you have a mob backing you up.

That's my defence of Irvings right to free speech. What he has said admits of no defence.

D'you think that the lack of that comparable angry mob might make just a <em>bit</em> of difference in weighing whose freedom of speech is more strenuously in need of defense, Robbo? Or does your commitment to following the issue only go deep enough to make casual implications of racism?

But should he go to prison for it? Of course not. What can and should happen in cases like Irving's is that he is allowed to speak and write and the rest of the world is allowed to point out the absurdity of his position. The rest of the world is also allowed to shun him. Like anyone else with a bit of exposure to European history I cannot imagine how Irving came to his Holocaust denying position.
