I'd say discriminating against people has been absolutely necessary for civilization and in the long run countering Nazism, Stalinism, Islamism, and beliefs like 'I should get to kill' or 'I'm not subject to law' or 'disease is caused by miasma' or 'gays should be killed', has been the cause of enormous reductions in harm and suffering.

Generally speaking, we discriminate based upon acts, not beliefs. And that's what happened with the Nazis, Stalinists, and some Islamists. So you're arguing something different than the examples you cite.
