That would be the ideology which routinely burns newspapers,
shouts down speakers, physically attacks speakers, threatens
(and carries out of such threats) to reject applications
for/cancel/withhold academic research funds and all sorts of
other similar crimes and acts of intimidation when confronted
with people who and messages which contradict their beliefs,
rather than (heaven forbid) debate the issues. Instead of
debates on issues, they hold "forums" (in which all of the
speakers toe the party line).
So, yes, at least in the USA, it is ONE political
ideology's adherents who routinely engage in this sort
of behavior. And it's doubly ironic that they're the ones
who usually whine about their free speech being abridged
when those from the other side do nothing more than to
exercise their right to free speech, by expressing
messages which contradict that of this one ideology.
Now, if you want to go into religious ideologies, there's
a lot more than just one... and many of them have and will
go all the way to death sentances for contradicting them.
