While I agree some control over hate speech is needed, the amount of such control exerted in say, Germany or Pakistan and the impact of it is for all to see.
The distinction is also not purely artificial as holocaust is plain fact, a particular religion may or may not be.
The distinction between Pakistan and Germany is that rule of law is much stricter in Germany, so personal abuse of the law is rare. In Pakistan, the law has been reduced to be an excuse for personal vendettas. The system is too corrupt, but that is a systemic problem. The legal system is powerless to protect women, children, poor. Minorities are just one more item on a long list.
Do you know that google censors several hundred websites in many West European countries which are designated as being anti-semitic? The same google allows all kinds of abuse towards Christians, Muslims, Hindus, and anyone else.
Do you know the same Danish authorities who were beating their chests about Mohammed cartoons decided to arrest and prosecute two Arabs for drawing cartoons about the Holocaust?
