Are they?????
Are they?????
I don't think so.
With the exception of hate speech and things like that, most people are allowed to be whatever they want.

What about folks that speak of quarantining or mass deportations of a religious/ethnic group? Shouldn't they be banned for that?
Why should they be banned for this? It is not hate speech to suggest that religious/ethnic groups should be segregated, nor to express the opinion that single ethnicity nation-states are desirable, as long as that opinion is expressed in the absence of racial slurs, negative stereotypes about the ethnicity in question, or advocacy of genocide.
Of course, the rules are stricter in the Middle East forum because the difficulties we've experienced in keeping that forum civil.
If we enforced the rules in the fashion you are suggesting, it would make it practically impossible to discuss any nation's immigration policies.
I have no problem with discussions with Nazis or Fascists or Communists at the other extreme - as long as they are prepared to discuss in a civil manner or at the very least do not insult those whose opinions are different without resorting to calling them "leftards" / "scum" / "vermin" etc.
