add Paradox of tolerance
}}</ref>
*: They who still want to do something legally prohibited, will not be quenched by law at all. Arguing that legal banning would lead to dodging into illegality, should result in a situation where all criminal laws could be abolished.
* '''"You have to be tolerant of religions."'''
*: It is allowed to criticize any religion or other worldview, since they cannot demand respect as a thought structure per se. Tolerating means "standing", "enduring", above all other or foreign beliefs, actions and customs. Of course, this does not include actions that are punishable or morally questionable. It can be seen time and again that above all conservative or even ultra-Orthodox religious representatives demand tolerance (or even respect) for their basic attitude of mutilating children's genitals for religious reasons. This is where Popper's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance Paradox of tolerance] comes into play, which makes it clear that there can be no tolerance for intolerance if tolerance does not want to be abolished.
