A murderer is not someone who believes in murder but someone that actually committed an action of murder.(Original post by Dobrzynski)
Please read what I put. What sets the line is when "until they are as damaging and corrupting as neo-nazi ones." When people's 'beliefs' do more harm than good and in bad gesture. You say people's beliefs should never come into play? Oh I'll let this mass murderer, satanist, nazi, necrophiliac in because why not. -

Re: Olympic German rower sent home due to neo-Nazi linksPerhaps Germany's take on it was a little harsh. But given Germany's history and strive for correction in the 21st century is more important to them.
