I made it very clear that I was
not advocating censorship, so I have no idea how that answer was responsive.
As for it being merely "politically correct" to warn against
suggesting that people might need to be killed for their beliefs (not their actions, their beliefs), I find it astonishing that you could trivialize that outcome.
The stand-out historical precedent that warns against killing people for their beliefs is the Holocaust! Trivialize that! Dare you?
