If you roll a pig head into a mosque, it's a hate crime. You throw a ham steak (in a paper bag) on the lunchroom table, it's a hate crime. Supporting Israel causes distress to muslims in America and rallies are violently disrupted.
If you doubt the islamic religion, and openly question their prophet or publish a cartoon depicting him, it's hate speech. A film calling the oppressive nature of islam, or an oration by the pope expressing the views of a Byzantine emperor are cause for worldwide demonstrations and riots. One can espouse the elimination of a nation in front of their embassy (in NYC) and champion their violent dominance of the world. A world leader can stand at a lectern in the UN and advocate the destruction of a member nation. All protected.
Another example of bizarre-o world
In a hotel in Galveston you can claim stress caused you to put your 2 month old daughter in a microwave when putting her in the fridge and hotel safe didn't make her stop crying. After all this you can petition the court for (once she recovers) the child to be given back to the parents. But you need to pass a series of tests before one can legally drive. A father and brother can slit the throat a female family member because she dishonored the clan. Because their religion absolves them, no incarceration for the disgraced murderers.
Its political correctness gone wild and tolerance only applies to radicals and non-conformist. Dialogue is nonexistent and only the most extreme aspect is promoted. The majority is expected to be silent and tolerant without the same courtesy being extended. Tolerance seems to be an initiative offered to one group and required of another.
