As it is a crime to yell "Fire!" in a crowded public place, any words or phrases said with intent to incite others, weather or not it is a deeply held conviction, should be treated the same.
Thats why if you yell fire in a crowded place, you will feel retribution. If you yell "bush is gay" you wont feel nothin. sorry, but if you arent supposed to say it, there would be a law for it.
