I want to say yes. But my values say that no group nor organization should face persecution. (libertarian-blue belief) Even as much as I hate the Ku Klux Klan, I can't allow a mass persecution, because that makes me a hypocrite and taints my reputation. And this is coming from a big time Public Enemy fan. I can't --- however, we can reduce their power through awareness and tolerance campaigns.

Hate me for saying this, but I don't care. And honestly, I'd have to poll the population for an answer. ("puppet of the people" belief)
