They can still talk! Wouldn't ban books, talks, tv etc.

Couldn't the same argument be made about no-platforming?

You could compare countries to platforms, yes. Not sure it works coz different factors.

But note, I don't support freedom of speech everywhere, anyway. It wld make workplaces & schools hell.

I can support arguments for allowing everyone access to a place of debate & not to a country.

So would u b comfortable with the gov. denying citizenship 2 a non-violent Islamist solely due 2 their opinions

Yes. Or anyone else who held views incompatible with human rights, equality & freedom.

Ok fair enough,I would just limit the no. of immigrants with illiberal views allowed in & focus on integration + reform of Islam
