I'm for religious tolerance

But I'm all for booting people like Abu Hamza al-Masri and Omar Bakri Mohammed out of every civilized nation. Or maybe just arrested and left to rot in jail. They are like toxic waste, poisoning their own people with hatred for those without whom the Arab world would starve.

Any religionist who preaches conversion by force, insurrection or murder, should be shunned, deported and locked up.

I say that as the descendant of Mormons who were killed and driven from state to state. Religious freedom was the basis of emigration of many groups from England to America, which is why it is enshrined in the Bill of Rights, but it cannot extend to violence. We are being given an example of how free speech can be abused to destroy the freedoms that permit it.
