If you do something that is completely out of step with the society you live in, you usually find that the rest of society will let you know. The premise may be a little stretched when it states that it will encourage hate, but certainly if people feel strongly enough about it, then they let their views be known.Using the religious argument is tenuous at best and is open to many interpretations. It was customary for this same religion to slaughter goats in their backyard as part of a religious celebration. That lasted as long as it took their neighbours to tell them and complain that we don't do that here. It was banned , but you probably never read about it, as an infringement of their rights, as even the left were appalled as they should have been. When you religion is contrary to the society you live in and causes people to react, something has to give. Rarely does society change to accommodate the few.
