Paradox of tolerance dude. "This paradox was articulated by philosopher Karl Popper in The Open Society and Its Enemies (1945), where he argued that a truly tolerant society must not tolerate those who promote intolerance."
Tolerance is not a moral imperative, it's a social contract.
Those who do not abide by the contract are not covered by the contract. Thus any society is not obligated to tolerate intolerance; rather those intolerant of a society should be cast out of it.
