Sure it drives the movements with banned symbols underground. And surely it angers them, they believe in their thing and by banning their 'holy symbol' it only gives them one reason more to keep up the hate against the ones that banned it. Some movements just speak out about it, some take violence to back them up to get what they want.
To answer your question: Yes, IMO it divides FEW people out of the whole, but the numbers are against the few. It wont have any effect if 1000 neo-nazis protest to get their symbols out of the banned list nor do it have any effect if they go and beat the sh*t out of someone.
