I agree completely. A liberal society is one in which we can work with people who hold views we disagree with, even views we find reprehensible. A society in which only one set of views is permitted to exist is a totalitarian society. We spent so many lives fighting totalitarianism when it came from the Nazis, the Communists, the Islamic fundamentalists; to smuggle it in again under a mask of liberalism is a betrayal of everything the Enlightenment once represented.
