I'm well aware that I cant change their thought, if a person believes they have the right to steal or murder or hate an entire group, I'd argue that they do not, I wouldn't argue that I can police their thoughts.

..there isn’t a valid reason for a phobia though, it’s more establishing where the ‘illogical’ derives from with someone..why fear a group of people as you say that are no threat to you../ ..aren’t going to harm you etc...but that person is feeling a fear by their phobia, so it’s important that, that’s discussed as well...and we can’t discuss what we don’t t know is there in the first place...?...maybe we can never change some views because they’re too instilled and will never be open to change..but it’s all we can do, to try to understand and not ‘throw hate’ back......and rely on laws for cases which are appropriate to infringing on human rights/prejudicing etc...
