    both filled with hate.

    That doesn’t make them equal.

    For example, if you look at two people, one that is a Nazi and one that hates Nazis, they are both hating. But it’s quite clearly due to said paradox of tolerance. Only one of them is the asshole.

    edit: apperently the analogy wasn’t quite clear.

    One is an ideological organisation which is has been causing oppression of minorities for a thousand years up to this day with countless atrocities commited in it’s name, without going into details … the other one is a person with a book, matches and a message.

      Okay so, which one is the nazi? The religious zealot willing to chop teachers heads off for “wrong teaching” or the person burning their “holy” books as protest?

        The religious zealot of course. I really didn’t think I had to spell that out…

        The latter, since they are extremely often LITERALLY self-proclaimed nazis or at the very least like to hang out with self-proclaimed nazis.

          That’s pretty damn bad argument though. We don’t systematically ban everything Nazis are doing, was it burning some books or pissing by standing. Burning Quran is victimless protest, as would be burning of any other symbol hate like bible or a flag of an shit country in front of their embassy.

      Well, then in this case I guess the religious person who is willing to riot, injure and kill would be the asshole going purely by their actions and motivations for those actions. Or are you arguing that killing someone for a symbolic insult to your world view is comparable to hating a Nazi?

        I’m still not sure which side you’re talking about.
