how does it applying to both sides make it not work?

yall act like you can either be fine with religious riots or be fine with inciting religious riots

"inciting" is basically just a fancy euphemism for "those people are violent in a very predictable way" in this case. It is not as if we are talking about someone holding a fiery speech, telling people lies until they are angry enough to become violent. They are violent in the first place. So predictably violent for so long in fact that people apparently make laws forbidding others from triggering the predictably violent people.

And yes, if you make those laws you are absolutely in favour of religious riots because you do what the rioting people demand which has rarely been considered a disincentive for any behaviour.
