Edit: Before I have someone posting that his speech was so bad that it incited hatered (which is in the article, I know), i want to know how you define this. Where is the line drawn? Here in the USA, you will have KKK nutjobs marching on Martin Luther King Day, and promoting their propaganda in that day, clearly with the intent to incite hatrered, however hatred is not a crime. I can hate someone all i want, and I won't go to prison. They are free to make this hate speach all they want, because it is their protected right to freedom of speech. However, how do you know when speech is so bad that it is criminal?

I guess Europe and the US is very much different in this aspect. In Europe immigration from the muslim world has been met with constant change in our culture to adapt to their culture for the last 30 years.
The bar for being called a racist in Norway,and the rest of europe, is extremly low.And actually when accused for racism in Norway, you have to prove your innocense!
Anyways, to illustrate how this has,and will,affect our freedom of speech.All you have to do is look at the case with the drawings of Muhammed a few years back, europe was set on fire.
Or more of late, a singel proIsrael peaceful demonstration was held in Oslo a few weeks ago.Result:
hundreds of young muslims trashed the whole city, they destroyed for millions!Old people with Israely fllags was beaten senceles....I guess you could say we have a well intergated country in respect of race.And that goes for the rest of europe to.No sane person would think of some races superiour to others.(Like KKK nutjobs)But in regards of culture and religion, there is big trouble in the horizon...
How is the marked for carpenters in the US?
