So you're saying we should respect the views like:

1. the members of particular ethnicity and religion are terrorists, and

2. that mass-imprisonment of innocent members of an ethnicity is the correct response to the fear of terrorism from them?

Because those are some of the views expressed in this thread:

Tolerance and respect of such views is shameful.

This breaks the site guideline: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize." It also exemplifies what I just asked people to stop.

Since you've been using this account primarily for ideological and national battle, I've banned it. This is in the guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

You've been creating accounts to break HN's rules with for a long time. Please don't do that anymore, or we'll ban your main account as well.

Why are you commenting this now? The post is already out of the front page...

Because I just saw it and we try not to let flamewars fester.
