re: #229 albusteve

don’t know…the question I raise is one of fair and even application of the law…I’m not sure we are there yet with Islam…there is too wide of a grey area and too much lattitude with judges….I personally am repulsed with hate speech or hate crimes….we are in for some stormy sailing I think

Ohh you are referring to the hypothetical. Well, legally I can’t say whether that would classify as a hate crime or not. Depends on the district court, I guess. Also depends on whether he was an artist. Me personally? Every violent crime is a crime of hate, but throwing a Koran in a toilet is not one of those. It’s his opinion and as long as he doesn’t call for violence against Muslims, he can continue to clog up his toilet.
