Well, if there is freedom of speech in the West, why can´t somebody say that Holocaust did not happen in those measures.. like it happened to Mel Gibson.. I think the West has freedom of speech only for the things they want to hear.

Of course there is no ´unlimited´ freedom of speech, but undoubtedly, there is much more freedom of speech then in many other places in the world, even Turkey.

 Yes, but not on the topics which are clashing of America´s interests... so what I am saying is that every country has its own... and I think it all depends where you are looking at it from...

yes... true... freedom of speech is restricted based on teh regime in the given country, not to threaten the people in power -- absolutely the same is in the west. however, in the west you won´t go to jail for a thought crime, which, if I´m not mistaken, is a reason for jailing people in Turkey.

 I think they have changed it due to the prospect of EU membership - if I am not mistaken... (I am not in Turkey for quite some time now).. but what I mean to say is that no country is perfect.   Now Turkey has a Kurdish TV, supported by the government.. It all takes time.

Perhaps my home country is the exception

 

Two Tunisian men were improsoned here for a really long time, suspected for wanting to kill Westergaard (the guy with the blasphemic drawings). Recently it was known that the police had no proof whatsoever and that they were innocent
