There's the rub though; they actually are entitled. Otherwise, what does modern, liberal and secular actually mean.

Well what it should mean is a society that has a clear idea of its own values and is free and tolerant up to the point at which it is threatened. At that point, it should be confident enough to act ruthlessly in its own defence. We've made the mistake of thinking 'tolerant' means 'prepared to tolerate anything in defence of some vague idea of inclusivity'. It doesn't.

Taken to its logical conclusion though, it does mean that. I agree that it actually shouldn't.
