I know this doesn't deserve a reply from SU, because frankly, he is ignorant about the subject.
I know that France has laws against denying Turkish genoside of Armenians, and the Germans have laws against Nazi speech, etc. Your statement that they don't believe in freedom of speech is over the top, however.

You also implied that Europe abridges civil liberties in the same way Turkey does. Not at all. If anything Europe to a fault tries to legislate against lies. I know that would complicate your style.
