Definitely. But whether one can read in that tweet a call to burn people alive, it varies, probably, with the culture. I just couldn't imagine.

There were riots and crowds of attackers outside buildings where immigrants are forced to living happening at the time she posted that tweet. It wasn't theoretical and the context wasn't ambiguous. It was a deliberate call for mass murder.

It's actually happened here in Germany, places have been set on fire, and I think people hurt/killed. (I don't deliberately watch/read/listen to news for at least 20 years, for my own mental health and survival, so I'm not sure of the details.)
