    Here in Russia we relatively recently had got a law for “protection of the rights of believers”. And boy, did it go wrong.

      I am not promoting a law to protect religious believes but a law against incitement to hate and violence. Those are not the same.

        Such a law would be from the same barrel. A tool to easy to abuse. Let speech be free. It’s violence what should be punished.

          Of course violence should be repressed, come on this is so trivial it doesn’t even need to be pointed out, except when talking to a bunch of troglodytes. However Incitement is a different topic and in my opinion incitement of masses of people should definitely be repressed too because it most of the time leads to violence.
