Right now hate crime laws add penalty for actual crimes committed. That is still wrong IMHO, killing someone is just as bad if you yell "roast beef!" while killing them as if you yell "faggot!"

I honestly don't know about Europe in general, but the mere fact that Wilders could be charged at all for what he said regarding Muslims is impossible in the US.

The price of freedom of political speech and general expression is that you have to hear stuff that offends you sometimes. Better to have everyone offended, than have everyone have to shut up.
