People hate what they don't understand or what they fear. Isn't it peculiar to have one religion "hate" another religion. God must really love that.

Sharia law (6th century code of barbarism) tells them to kill the infidel, the unbeliever, hence the execution of christians and jews. It's amazing in the 21st century that people still adhere to barbaric laws.

Religious laws? Like when people decide that oil companies are too 'greedy' and need to be taxed more. Or when people decide that rich people are too 'greedy' and need to be taxed more? Or when people decide that they will use the power of government to take money out of your pocket and give it to somebody else as a matter of 'charity' or 'compassion'? Those type of Marxist morality laws? Yes, they are evil indeed.

My husband was born a Hindu, and while there may not be a law per se...the people will condemn you. \n\nPerhaps, this is a society/cultural thing more than religious.

First, they're called "hate crimes law" not "anti-hate crime laws."  Second, Boston is a city in the state of Massachusetts, and as a city is not empowered with the ability to pass such legislation.\n\nMassachusetts does have a hate crimes law.  It encompasses hate crimes based on a "person's race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, or disability."  The entire law is linked below.

No--1st amendment.  If the radical group breaks the law, then the lawbreakers should be prosecuted according to the law.  It is not against the law to hate--it is against the law to discriminate or hurt people.

There really isn't a parallel between religion and law.  If you think back to some of the original law codes (Hammurabi and such) these were more political and social laws rather than religious laws.\n\nNow, some religious books (Torah/Old Testament) do contain what amounts to social codes.  These are unique to the societies they originated in.  For example, rabbis were the more educated members of ancient Hebrew societies, so they recorded the laws.\n\nHowever, laws have a slightly different origin and purpose than religious codes.   Both are forms of social control, but law has its purpose and origins in keeping society orderly and keeping the power centered in the hands of the king.  We like to think that law has evolved to a point where the function of the law is to uphold justice and human rights.  Now, religion on the other hand, originated as humankind's experience of the divine.  Religion has a stake in society's stability, but, it's purpose is (or should be, at least) to bring a certain divinity's message to the people, to bring people closer to the divine.  The paths of law and religion have crossed, sometimes come together (when you have religion as law, that is a very bad thing.  As in, people get killed bad thing), and sometimes have been in opposition.\n\nAtheists, at least in the US, are protected by secular law and the Bill of Rights.  That is all that any US citizen needs.  Since we do not live in a theocracy, there is no need for protection from any one religion.\n\nAnd any US citizen should be incredibly grateful, and protective, of that.

In America, the "separation of church and state" is a concept expressed in the First Amendment to the Constitution:\n"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."\n\nAt the most basic level, this means that our government cannot make any law requiring you to belong to a given religion, nor prohibit you from exercising your religious beliefs.  In Europe at the time, people were required to be of a certain religion; to profess another religion could be a death sentence.

the constitution has provision to keep the government out of the church... but this regulates only the government's role in religion, this does not address the attitude that is tolerance and mass attitudes toward a particular religion-- of course hate crimes are illegal but beyond that the government is to stay out of faith, this may be more apparant in the writings of the founders than the constitution

Because we have countries that do not respect laws and think that their way of life enables them to kill anyone in the name of religion.  This is a way to restrict their travel.

Rushdie's book banned? That's insignificant! He was sentenced to death for writing his book! But in China you can get tortured for carrying a Xtian bible. Look at the way the Islamists called for the beheading of the Danish cartoonists! What religion do you know of that is truly tolerant of (all) others?
