I think free speech is really important. As soon as you start on the path of censorship you can't stop.

It starts with censorship of the extreme and ends with only a handful of allowed beliefs.

If you tolerate the intolerant, it will eventually bite you. Free speech should be protected, but not tolerated.

By that logic you would have no issue with a person calling black people the n-word in the street right ? But no most of the time they tend to get hit on the face and there are laws against those kind of people .
