I live in a sleepy little back water of a city on the opposite side of the world to where most of the suffering and destruction occurred. I have NEVER seen a Christian church with graffiti or desecrated with anti-Christian symbols or slogans. But I have seen Mosques, Synagogues, and even a small corner shops owned by non-European owners, tagged with swastikas, messages of hate and neo-Nazi diatribe. It is something defective in the minds of these people.

The laws are created to be able to punish these people.

As a good, honest, law abiding citizens of my country (where these laws are not in place by the way) and of our world community, I have accepted that the loss of historical accuracy in a computer game is one of the prices that I have to pay because of these idiot???s. Just as I accept it doesn???t matter what your race, creed, religion or cultural background there???s still going to be a percentage of any group of people that are complete a***holes, unfortunately, at the moment, a good percentage of them seem to think that being filled with hate is cool.

Sorry for going off-topic.

I just don't think extremists should be allowed ruin things for the rest of us. I may not agree with what they do or say, but I feel they have the right to say it. Punishment should not come at the cost of free speech, but now I'm getting even more off-topic than I was before!
