No. If that was the case, then the rest of the world would ultimately not have fought a war against those very Nazis you keep talking about.
You're talking rubbish.
Your country didn't give a **** about the laws enacted in Germany between 1933-1941 : your lot were too busy selling armaments and profiteering from WW2 to get involved.
It was only when the Japanese dragged ye in to WW2 that you became involved.
otherwise you would have continued to profiteer.
So save the sanctimonius claptrap for your someone else.

Try and tell me with a straight face that there would be little to no probability of a violent outcome for someone publicly criticizing the government or Islam in many Middle Eastern nations, and I'll kindly point out to you that you're full of ****.
My own view is that if an Imam tried to publicly burn a Bible in America that violence would result because of that action.
To indurain,again,your rights are dependent upon the whims of the masses.
Common good....hmmmm.
COMMON GOOD BEFORE INDIVIDUAL GOOD.
The whim of the court of law, not the whim of the individual.
Here is a brief synopsis regarding the common law
Common law is law developed by judges through decisions of courts and similar tribunals (also called case law), rather than through legislative statutes or executive branch action. A "common law system" is a legal system that gives great precedential weight to common law,[1] on the principle that it is unfair to treat similar facts differently on different occasions.[2] The body of precedent is called "common law" and it binds future decisions.
In cases where the parties disagree on what the law is, an idealized common law court looks to past precedential decisions of relevant courts. If a similar dispute has been resolved in the past, the court is bound to follow the reasoning used in the prior decision (this principle is known as stare decisis). If, however, the court finds that the current dispute is fundamentally distinct from all previous cases (called a "matter of first impression"), judges have the authority and duty to make law by creating precedent.[3] Thereafter, the new decision becomes precedent, and will bind future courts.
In practice, common law systems are considerably more complicated than the idealized system described above. The decisions of a court are binding only in a particular jurisdiction, and even within a given jurisdiction, some courts have more power than others. For example, in most jurisdictions, decisions by appellate courts are binding on lower courts in the same jurisdiction and on future decisions of the same appellate court, but decisions of lower courts are only non-binding persuasive authority. Interactions between common law, constitutional law, statutory law and regulatory law also give rise to considerable complexity. However stare decisis, the principle that similar cases should be decided according to consistent principled rules so that they will reach similar results, lies at the heart of all common law systems.

Incidentally, do you agree with book burning?
Your own views matter little,you think whatever you want,we have freedom over here in the USA....
We already know you believe the state should control free speech.

Your country actively engaged in trade with Nazi Germany.
Your country actually helped supply and re-arm Germany during 1933-1939 period.
Your country's industrialists were only too happy to trade with the Nazi's.
