Of course, no one can, but’ nor should it, accept or tolerate people being categorized and their fundamental human rights violated, but, at the same time, it is not conceivable, not even understandable, human rights to be treated selectively, the rights of minorities to be coercively imposed on majorities, the expression of a different point of view should be condemned and criminally punished, in a one-dimensional and therefore total way, and to rewrite History politically, socially or economically interest and try or distort historical events, in the name of multi-purposes
We would wait, for example, especially in today's conditions, to have a collective struggle and nationwide effort in the defense of a basic human right, which is blatantly trampled and violated, with destructive individual, social, economic and national consequences, the right to work, which is clearly provided for in the article 22 of the Constitution, where it is explicitly stated that "work is a right and is protected by the State, which provides for the creation of employment conditions for all citizens and for the moral and material elevation of the working rural and urban population", right which unemployment abolishes!
On the other, imposing the rights of the minority on the majority negates the basic principle of the Democratic polity, the principle of the majority, the very essence of democracy, so, as it was defined by Pericles "because you are not few but familiar with many"….
And justifiably, every sane person is concerned, how is it possible and how can a religious be accepted, B.C., minority to be imposed on the majority, believing that her rights are being violated, if the bells of the Temples are ringing, if Christian holidays are celebrated, if the Cross adorns our National symbol, and for there to be Greeks, who restlessly, "recklessly and recklessly" adopt such views.
And he is deeply worried, when watching the State, in times of economic hardship and generalized deprivation, be ready and willing to fund projects, which not only affect the religious feeling of the majority of Greeks, but also the common sense of justice, εφ’ as they concern and facilitate a religio-political ideology, which leads humanity to barbarism and Christianity to an unprecedented persecution, enriching his Testimony, with the deafening silence of "Christian" Europe, which, otherwise it is cut for religious tolerance and freedom, but only when it concerns the enemies of Christianity.
Neither can the selective treatment of historical events be accepted, such as, specifically, genocides and holocausts.
The Holocaust of the Jews during the Second World War by the Germans is very correctly and justifiably shown, as this constitutes the crowning beast of racism and fascism, and his denial hides nothing more, rather than a mood of amnesty, if not justification, of his crimes and reinforcement of his inhumane and let's not escape his anti-Christian propaganda. And that's why, the criminalization of its refusal could also be accepted, if this applied to all Holocausts and Genocides!
But, to punish anyone who denies the Holocaust of the Jews in World War II and at the same time glorify, to promote and even elect a member of parliament who denies the Holocaust of the Christians of Pontus and Asia Minor during and after the First World War, it can only be characterized as a sample of national paranoia!
The study of recent, and not only, history teaches that the causes of economic and spiritual crises are the retreat of moral values and the dominance of fascist attitudes, who take advantage of the insecurity of the unemployed and promise them order and security, with the supremacy of violence and power and are not dealt with by anti-racist laws, but with removal of the causes, that give birth to and reinforce such ideologies.
The Christians, and indeed the Orthodox, they are radically opposed to any kind of fascism and anti-Semitism, unless they wanted to deny their human Jewish God-man Savior, and keeping the divine commandment of love, and therefore neither expect nor need human laws, to implement it!
Besides, it is a commonplace that laws and penalties do not enforce anything, however right fair and high it may be, since any tyrant can compel his slaves to sing hymns to freedom!
