That is quite a non-sequitur; it would be the equivalent of banning the sale of butter knives at Wal-Mart in an attempt to prevent future murders by weapon.

Generally, holocaust deniers tend to be not so fond of Jewish people and any denial of the holocaust can be seen as propaganda for their views.

More of a non-sequitur not from you but by the establishment if this is their reasoning. This would be the equivalent of saying you cannot question the morality or existence of Jesus because it may serve to promote negative views against Christians as potential fools or liars.

In an effort to make sure that something like the holocaust never occurs again, they employ these laws to prevent any potential "hate" movement from gaining steam.

In other words the laws are actually geared toward punishing those who are likely to be the type of people who speak out against Jewish Supremacism and the state-religion of multiracialism/diversity?

In addition, from what I understand, you can deny the holocaust left and right in Europe. It only becomes illegal if you use holocaust denial as propaganda to further your anti-Semitic goals or to incite hatred or mistrust of an ethnic group. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

This makes no sense whatsoever...
