What exactly would you jail him for though? While he is mostly spewing bullshit without coming with any real solutions, he isn't actually doing anything 'legally' wrong.

He was tried around 2008/2009 for hate speech and discrimination. He should have been convicted then.

There is quite a bit of a difference between genocide and some mean words about the Islam.

Yes, words can be harmful but the holocaust is quite a bit outside that scope.
