Professor Ludwig Mihaly, of Budapest University, has been sentenced to a fortnight’s conditional imprisonment for incitement against the Jewish religion by publishing pseudo-scientific articles about the Jewish religion, alleging that Jewish religious law permits Jews to exact usury from non-Jews.

When Professor Mihaly contended in his speech to the court, that every Hungarian must be an antisemite, the Presiding Judge pulled him up and reprimanded him.
