IS NOT BECAUSE THEY MERELY "DISAGREE WITH ME",
AND NOT BECAUSE THEY SIMPLY "BELIEVE DIFFERENTLY FROM ME"...
BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE HOLDING UP THEIR BELIEF STRUCTURE AS UNASSAILABLE TRUTH,
...WITH NO PROOF WHATSOEVER...AND ASKING OTHERS TO BELIEVE THE SAME.
Asserting that their beliefs, no matter how extreme, are unassailable truth, and unbacked, is an opposition to someone who disagrees with you, and believes differently. It is naive to say that anyone who has no backing for their belief, should be responsible for what their doctrine teaches, because they undoubtedly do not see it in the same light. To say an unknowing ignorant believer should be responsible for not changing their violent beliefs, when they do not see them or are ignorant to the fact that they are unjustly violent in the first place, is a failure to understand what the other person actually believes. Actions are entirely different from words, thoughts. That's why we have free speech. What you suggest is that we try to control minds, which is despicable.
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?
Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.

The more questions you ask, the more you realize that disagreement is inevitable, and communication of this disagreement, irrelevant.
