While intolerant speak and extremist killings are not exactly the same thing, I would say that one will often lead to the other. For example, I would strongly suspect that the people who destroyed the Twin Towers were influenced by preachers who told them that whoever doesn't believe like them is an infidel, etc.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
