I get your thought. I'm way more torn on that decision than it might appear. There's a counter-argument to your point that by tolerating intolerance, you're normalizing it, which might appear as approval to many. Setting a signal that this is not a desireable development within a country that in general is good to people and immigrants can have a positive effect as well. I really dont know.
