Norway prohibits hate speech, and defines it as publicly making statements that threaten or ridicule someone or that incite hatred, persecution or contempt for someone due to their skin colour, ethnic origin, homosexual life style or orientation or, religion or philosophy of life.
^ Norwegian Penal code, Straffeloven, section 135 a.
No freedom for haters even in Norway.
If you tell someone "Jewish", "Kemalist", "Hidden Jew" for trying to insult, or try to ridicule (not to mention about try to ridicule former fathers) , or try to spread lie for hate YOU GO JAIL.
Besides we should not forget that Norway is always in the richest 10, "The more you are rich the easier to maintain democracy."
Despite Democracy is a different word from Fascism in all means, even literally, it is quite strange to see that some may confuse and act as they are same.
Hypocrisy of idiocracy?
what? NO! i have openly criticized the king in front of military personell and police officers, they can only dare touch me for that. i have used Jew as an insult in front of my teacher and he cant say i cant use that word. i am free here. where do you have that Norway prohibits hate speech? are you Glenn Becks twin or what?
Norway is more democratic and more FREE than even the "democracies protecter" USA.
EDIT: hmm i see this §135... and here you have it in Norwegian and the translation.

wich of those are "less democratic"? the same laws is based in Turkey to as far as i know, but not followed at it's best.
look at Sweden, Denmark, Finland etc. not rich countries but still a democratic country and society!
you dont need to be rich to have democracy. that is why there is democracy there... so you can have your right and not be oppressed by those who have power.
