> Any reasonable reading of my comment would recognize that references to Islam is to serve as an example of an intolerance perpetrated under the rationale of excluding the intolerant (e.g. calls to ban Muslims after 9/11).

To make that point with proper analogy, you would have to use ISIS or al-Qaeda as an example. The trouble is, that such ban would make sense to quite a lot of people. There, the discussion is whether it is ok to lock them indefinitely on island without process or torture them, generally most people are perfectly fine with America not allowing those to enter. There is an actual ban in place for suspect or admitted ISIS members.

The other possible equivalence would be all Germans ban or ban on teaching all German originated philosophies. Which is not really the topic, since the discussion up there was limited to Nazism.
