...hmmm, so 'not dangerous' in that it should be allowed and left for interpretation from the non crazies....I still don't think I get that in that if it was a book that said..'you should beat the gay out of gays'..and worse stuff....or torture someone's culture out of them...and even one crazy/extremist acted on that directly...then in any context, that's 'dangerous' for a book like that to be out there for people's interpretations...
