As best I can figure it, shooting a Quran (or any other religious book, I presume) is now going to be considered a Federal hate crime?
I wonder how even handedly this will be enforced.
Yes, but desecrating a Bible will be considered "free speech."
As I opined on this subject elsewhere, this was a waste of good ammunition.
Personally, I would (and I've a mind to do it someday) p*ss on it (although this might be grounds for indecent exposure, so I might consider burning it instead) in broad daylight, at high noon, in front of the Moosk, and challenge any rag head to come out and "dance" with this 62 year old vet, if I offend them.
I wonder how many hate crimes could be ascribed to desecrating the Christian Bible. Is the FBI interested in following up on those?
Do what you wish to a Christian Bible. That is inbounds. Hell, it's commendable. Trash the koran or the old testament and you'll do ten years in the federal joint for a hate crime.
