Descriptive yet timely.

So many of these stories end up being the "victim" was the one who committed the act in the first place. Whether to gain attention or sympathy, who knows. I believe this will end the same as those stories.

Not the ones settled out of court.

In the islamic fate it is forbidden to draw/paint anything that has a soul. So I can see why the center might feel this is a hate crime. Its a bit farfetched though.

Fortunately or unfortunately our laws do not enforce souls or soulless paintings or drawings.

Mosque leaders say they are not offended by the pic???? Who called the police then????

A snowflake.

Yep, my bad. I was under the impression it was ''painted'' on the wall. Not the case. In my book, had it been graffiti then I can see it as ''hate crime'' as graffiti is a crime, but just leaving a picture is not a crime hence, no hate crime.

I think the hate crime label is due to Sharia law making images of people unlawful and sinful.

A bit?
A cross-continental sized bit.
Ludicrous if you ask me.
Victimology at work.
Fear not, the SPLC will list this as a hate crime by a right wing group.
Along with the other thousands of "leaflet attacks" and "drive-by sermonzing".

Truth is, it's most likely not even Muslims calling it a "hate crime." It's most likely SO-CALLED "liberals" stirring the excrement pot. That's the "American" way apparently.

Can't imagine how this is a hate crime..unless there is more to the story.
