In truth there is nothing about "hate speech" that isn't simply "speech I don't like." The author offers no other criteria, only that there are protected classes and everyone else is fair game. Thanks but no thanks.

Exactly. Leaving aside most hate crime laws, which really amount to sentencing upgrades after The general standard is when speech leads to an imminent illegal act, or constitutes individual harassment.

For example, should a Rabbi incite his congregation to "kill the Muslims" on an ongoing basis, and his congregation leaves the synagogue and immediately kill a local Muslim, the Rabbi might well have some liability. Should the unlawful act occur days later, he's probably in the clear, since the act wasn't imminent. I wouldn't be surprised to see that aspect revisited one day.

I used a Rabbi and his congregation as an example so as not to offend, however substitutions could be made to make the example more relevant on the world stage.

The Jig is up!! the only way the Saracens will ever survive in the West is to stop free speech!! This hate speech is the gimmich being used to silence the truth about Islam.
Speech is speech regardless weather you like it or not.
And the truth does hurts especially if you are a Muslim.
Notice that this little thing on the internet now declaring Islam was a religion before Mohammed was ever born, he just improved on it and made a better version.

It is laughable. Before Mohammed the Saracens clearly worshipped a Moon God
