Nazism has been defeated on the level of ideas. 'Nazi' & 'Hitler' are common metaphors for evil.
I think its acceptable for ppl to say they believe non-believers shld be tortured for eternity.

Then we can counter them. Its not acceptable for them to advocate violence because of it.
-
Have you spent any time trying to "counter" them? Because I have. They don't care about facts and logic. They want an ethnostate.
-
Sure. But their ideas can only be marginalised by addressing them. Not by banning their expression.
-
That can be done without giving them a platform to preach their insanity, is what you seem to be missing here.
-
Who will argue their case as well? And if someone can, how are they different to those who believe it?
-
They don't have a case. Fascism is not a reasonable ideology just like being a serial killer or slaver is not a reasonable ideology.

That is an insane statement. Socialism mixed with democracy creates Sweden. Fascism creates Mussolini's Italy.

You clearly have a very different view of the word "acceptable" than I do. Although they should be allowed to say it, it is unacceptable.
-
Semantics then. Either you accept the right to such views or you don't.
-
It didn't ask whether their right to speak them was acceptable. It asked whether the view itself was acceptable.
-
A view is something that's expressed. I'd be more concerned if ppl accepted actions.
-
I feel like you are ignoring a very real and rising threat to confirm a bias toward notions of respectability.
-
I don't know what that means.
-
You argue for this perspective because you want a world where civil debate solves everything. It doesn't.
-
You view civil debate as a respectable notion and that notion is more important to you than dealing consequentially with a serious threat.

I think the difference between 'acceptable' and 'legal' needs some attention here, doesn't it?
