The laws are different: "Incitement and defamation laws are far broader in Germany than in the United States, with some European legislation on the books that forbids defaming leaders and makes Holocaust denial a crime.".

You are not allowed hate speech on the internet in a lot of countries. You will be prosecuted for that.

But different to other countries, in a majority of the european countries (turkey, greece are currently problematic) people are not deported, put in jail or camps and forgotten, even without a sentence and hearing.

You're right, not nearly enough people are deported.
