The Rarest of Rare

Let’s say a mob destroys a temple or a mosque, and self-appointed ‘leaders’ of the other community start making public speeches, distributing pamphlets and CDs, and pray, blogging, to the effect that members of the community should now take violent revenge.

Will you support clamping down on such a person’s right to free speech? I certainly will. I would see censorship in such a case as a lesser evil, the larger evil being riots. Potentially killing thousands.

Shivam argues for censorship in the ‘rarest of rare’ cases. The above scenario doesn’t seem as rare to me in India at least.
