that’s why some actions such as calling for religious or other minority groups to be killed or to intimindate such groups with displays of violence isn’t allowed in many of them

Then why are you giving groups who threaten violence an incentive to do that more often by giving in to their demands?

So we now should base our laws only on doing the opposite of what a few lunatics demand regardless on how it will affect a lot more people? I really don't think so.

Well, rightwing people have proved over and over again that they’re willing to not only burn books but to burn people.

So we should make action A by right-wing people illegal because they are known to do action B?

Buddy, the people getting angry over the quran burnings are also right wing. They indeed have shown they are willing to burn people.

I just think we shouldn't tolerate intolerance, from christians or muslims alike.
