It is a self defeating argument. If you should reject any argument that selectively rejects any group of people based on their beliefs, then you must reject the argument that’s says you must reject such people. Tolerance, if espoused is all or none. Now, tolerating evil is to support it. Tolerance is not a virtue. Rather, it is a weapon, a bludgeon, used to trick a people into destroying themselves by surrendering that which is most important to their identity.
For a race, tolerance means extermination. For a religion, it means heresy. For a nation, it is defeat. For an individual, at the very least, it means that everything that was worth preserving for hundreds of generations, comes to an end with you. Tolerance is one of the greatest sins that one can commit.
