Absolutley not. In Canada we have the charter of rights and freedoms, our constitution. Now he was in another country, and I suppose their laws must be respected, however I do not agree with jailing this man for speaking what he wants to say. Censorship is never good. You don't have to listen to what he says if you don't want to.
I personally believe if Black panthers, KKK, Neo Nazis etc want to hold rallies and peaceful demonstrations there shouldn't be, and really, there is no law against such a thing. These people are allowed to ahev a voice just like you or me, and just because they believe something different doesn't, however much you disagree doesn't mean that they don't have a right to do so.
The belief that he should be censored because of his certain beliefs is really anti-democratic. There are basic freedoms that should not be infringed upon. This is one of them.
