Find out why conservatives think sharia law will soon be upon us.
Recently, I happened to be watching Fox’s “Hannity and Colmes.” To no surprise, Sean Hannity was doing what he does best: complaining about liberals and political correctness.

Wow..
It is fine to express offense at the piss-Christ or toilet koran. BUT it is NOT ok to charge someone for the act!
How in the hell can you equate Christians expressing outrage with FEDERAL CRIMINAL CHARGES?
Are you high?

Marcus,
The question regarding Shmulevich's actions should be if he did it and all of the other acts to intimidate or make the Muslims on campus uncomfortable or unwelcome. If that was the aim, then that it an act of hate much like burning a cross.
Urine on a cross in a majority Christian society by someone from that society is not an act of hate. It certainly does not intimidate anyone. It may offend but it doesn't affect the quality of life of Christians in that culture.
Creating an atmosphere where a minority of people feel intimidated needs to be stamped out. We have a long and strong history of such behavior and we are not so far removed from the days when the good old boys(bullies) ruled the town, impeding the pursuit of happiness of millions of hard working honest Americans. Their behavior was criminal! It is still criminal.
The Republican's desire to evaluate things as if we live in a vacuum with no past or future, childishly throwing tantrums about their rights to terrorize (in all forms), should be exposed as opposed to being addressed in a cautious and apologetic manner.

I think that it is an act of crime if there is a pattern of intimidation by this man against the Muslims on campus.
If I send my kid to school, I certainly don't expect for them to be called Niger in the locker rooms or have voodoo dolls burned or crosses burnt, repeatedly, as an expression of some bully's rights. Those in my eyes would be hate crimes.
