Legal loopholes may be the bane of society. Allowing fiends to go unpunished, or have their punishments reduced, these loopholes are often created when a judge’s interpretation of a law supercedes its intent. That is what the excerpt below from an article by Allan Hall regarding author/Holocaust denier David Irving shows to be the case:
Holocaust denier David Irving has won a surprise victory in a German court – thanks to the EU – that allows him entry into the country next year after overturning a ban that ran for another decade.Irving, 74, has written a series of books about the Third Reich denying the historical evidence for the Holocaust of more than six million Jews during WW2.
The Munich court’s decision means that a citizen convicted of a crime in a country signed up to the EU cannot automatically bar someone convicted of committing a crime from returning to their land.But legal experts said this was an ‘interpretation’ and was not an automatic ruling for all countries.
Irving remains unwanted in Australia, Italy, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa.He is also forbidden to enter Austria, where in 2006 he was sentenced to three years in prison for ‘re-engagement in Nationalist Socialist activities.’
Corrie Ten Boom knew that the Holocaust was real, for she witnessed and experienced all of its horrors first hand. To learn about her ordeals, and those of her family, read her book THE HIDING PLACE, or take a virtual tour of her home in Ha’arlem, Holland, which has been turned into museum by going to www.tenboom.com. While we hopefully will never have to suffer the atrocities the Tenbooms did to help God’s chosen people, we can do what the Tenbooms did for a hundred years prior to WW II, show our love for them, and for God, by following the dictates of Psalm 122:6 and pray for the peace of Jerusalem!
