But criticise religions intelligently like Chris Hitchens and Richard Dawkins. Don't suggest it's funny that anyone should be exterminated because of who they have been born as and what they have been brainwashed into. I'm no defender of being offended. But I rail against hate.

Would you ban the Quran? Arrest people for reciting it? Or insist that the violent bits are removed first?

No. I refer you to my previous response. Hate preachers are as criminal as anyone.

OK, so do the violent and antisemitic and homophobic and misogynistic and slavery justifying bits of holy texts have to go? Or can people still read them? Can other people say the same thing as long as they use the words of the texts?
