A German court today sentenced infamous Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel to five years in prison for holding a particularly unpopular opinion.  The irony of jailing people for their beliefs in the name of fighting the neo-Nazi movement seems to be lost on most of the western world, including Canada, which jailed Zundel for two years in a maximum security facility before deporting him to Germany.
