Clogging up a toilet with pages from the koran is a hate crime??? I don't get it. Perhaps there wasn't other paper available?

In all seriousness, I wouldn't care what book he tore pages out of, even the Holy Bible, nor what he did with them. If there is anything to religion, I wouldn't be the one this guy has to worry about getting angry.

Besides, what right does society have to determine whether or not a person can express hate for allah or God or Jesus or some deity and if that expression is a crime? Freedom of speech meet Freedom of (or from) religion.

Society has every right to determine whether or not a person can express hatred for Allah, or God, or Jesus, . . ., and if it determines that a person doesn’t, to shun, riducule, mock and not invite to parties persons who go against its determination.

The Federal government due to the 1st Amendment, and the government of the several states due to the 1st and 14th Amendments have no right whatsoever to criminalize behavior on the basis of whether or not it comports with society’s favored stance vis-a-via one religion or another, or religion in general.
