This is where this slippery slope is leading us in America as well.

Do you mean to say that prior to 9/11 Americans (or 'invention' of 'political correctness' or whichever recent deviation you had in mind) enjoyed absolute freedom of speech? What about, for example, House Un-American Activities Committee (some historical details, eg, here)?

OTOH, I agree that Europens sometimes overreact to hate-speech under the pressure of continent's collective memory of fascism and nacism and how slippery that slope was.
