The Paradox of Tolerance

I've seen the Paradox of ToleranceWP invoked a few times of late as an argument against allowing certain kinds of political speech. I'd be interested in exploring the topic a bit further here, without unduly derailing other threads.

1) What would be an outstanding example of a (time-tested, practically implemented) public policy based on the paradox or similar reasoning? I'm most interested in knowing whether this has ever happened in the Anglophone nations, but any examples would be worth study.

2) Ought the paradox encompass those who preach in favor of Sharia LawWP, Levitical LawWP or any other religious faith that commands punishment for apostasy or heterodoxy? What should the punishment be for people who openly preach such things?

3) Ought the paradox encompass political ideologies which historically resulted in death camps for political dissenters (e.g. fascism, communism)? What should the punishment be for people who openly preach such ideologies?
