This

Freedom

 can lead to racism, anti-Semitism and, eventually, segregation. For that reason, it should often be controlled. Respecting all religions and nationalities is the ethically correct ideology to have, and critiquing religion and different backgrounds (a form of free

) frequently leads to dispute between individuals, and, in extreme cases, civil war between different parties in a nation.
