Well, in the case of violence it is quite easy to pass judgement and just lock them up. However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't listen to those terrorists. Even if they only talk bullshit you should at least try to understand why they became terrorists or else you will just declare more and more people as terrorists because it is the easy way out.

Thats exactly what Karl Popper says.
We should listen to them, aslong as society is strong enough to defend a tolerant society against intolerance.
The question is: When do we reach the point where the defence starts to break?
You could argue that that point is reached when terrorists storm the capitol.
I don't know if we reached that point already. What I do know: If we wait for too long, we reach a state of no return.
The answer is: we need to use as much violence as is necessary to suppress the violent actions, and then revert back to tolerance.

I’m so glad people like Karl Popper didn’t write the constitution.
Feel free to listen to terrorists all you want -- I'm under no obligation to listen to people who are advocating for my torture or death, and I'm certainly not obligated to supply a platform for their views.
