Words are powerful, and if they are twisting the minds of the easily lead, who then go on to commit hate crimes as a result? I'm not saying I know the answers, but if my son had been shot by an extremist who had read something like that, could I still hold up the T.

We have freedom of speech and the press in this country, and once someone bans a book (even for a "good" reason), then any book can be banned for any reason. That is a dangerous precedent.
