Why don’t you set us an example Mr. Thackeray?

We would be very glad to see you and your son and nephew blown to smithereens. 
“The need of the hour is to plant a strong bomb in Bangladeshi bastis that have mushroomed in Thane and elsewhere in Maharashtra.” 
How does someone get away with saying something like that? I do strongly believe in something Voltaire said – “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to death your right to say it.” But if what you say so directly incites violence against other humans then you have no right to say it. It does not even make an oblique reference or leave some scope for claims of misinterpretation! This is like Hitler talking about “the solution of the Jewish question in Europe“.
