I was speaking from an Islamofascist’s point of view. If they don’t worship the same (phony) God that he does, then he is required to lop their heads off.

That Islam is inherently intolerant and often rationalizes using any means against others, even the freedoms of the target society is not news, or the point.

My point is that some of the Founding Fathers believed that any attempt to shout down the beliefs of others on the basis of those beliefs alone is far more dangerous to the Republic than nearly anything those beliefs could espouse- no matter how abhorrent; the best way is to let rational citizens speak and listen. Franklin was of the opinion that citizens should be able to listen to Imam, Rabbi and atheist alike and make up their minds.
