Politically charged comment coming in the wake of the Brussels attack.
I just realized that the deep-sounding question “should we be tolerant of intolerance” is trivially solved by game theory. It’s exactly the same question as “should I play Cooperate against someone who plays Defect”. The right answer is “no”. The people who answer “yes” are just trying to appear virtuous.
