Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds? Religion is the reason for more than half the wars in the world. Extreme religious beliefs are responsible for 9/11 along with massive other atrocities throughout history. Where would you draw the line?

There’s far more violent racist crime every day that is ignored because the victims are white. In the case the perps were white so that makes it a hate crime.

If they were non-white…
