Building social peace, which means social cohesion based on accepting diversity, rejecting violence, treating all individuals without discrimination, fostering a sense of belonging, and deepening participation without exclusion based on ethnic, sectarian, or religious grounds, and achieving social integration, cannot be realized if the means of dialogue between the components of society—especially if it is pluralistic—are blocked by cultural or political obstacles.

Hate speech is one of the obstacles to social peace and building a cohesive society. Conversely, promoting dialogue, rejecting fanaticism, and elevating the values of accepting the different other, along with a conscious way of expressing disagreement, are the most important means to maintain social cohesion and the functional roles of individuals within society, supporting national efforts to achieve social peace.

Hate speech is malicious in its content; it disintegrates the bonds of society, spreads a culture of rejection, division, and strife, leads to civil conflict, and spreads negative values that hinder building a society based on equality before the law. It wastes noble humanitarian principles founded on respecting difference, diversity, and freedom of thought. It is an irrational discourse because it attacks characteristics that groups or individuals targeted by the speech have no choice but to embody, such as religion, sect, ethnicity, and gender.
