It's not really tinfoil hatting, EU countries already deny privileges based on political affiliation and so on. Germany shut down a Muslim cultural center for refusing to censor a speech by someone who came from Gaza, merely because of

So are they bad because they didn't block them for a long time or are they bad because they did block them eventually?
