The book explores the dangerous consequences of hateful thoughts and language, specifically referencing the 2019 terrorist attack on mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. It argues that while governments in free societies cannot regulate individual beliefs, they have an obligation to safeguard citizens from harmful communications that incite discrimination and violence. This examination highlights the delicate balance between freedom of expression and the protection of public safety in democratic contexts.
