"Only certain countries in Europe make denying the holocaust a crime so you cannot generalise. (That law is as stupid as death for blasphemy)"
I wouldn't say it's quite as stupid. Generally people who deny the holocaust are supporters of the Nazi cause or belong to right wing fascist groups, which these countries, namely Germany, Austria, former Czechoslovakia, Belgium, Romania, Poland, etc, were all some of the most effected by World War II, and it's not just Holocaust denial that is illegal but rather anything to do with supporting the Nazi cause.
Also, it is rarely enforced.
At least these countries can prove that the Nazi's have had an adverse effect on them, resulting in the deaths of millions.
