Hate Speech is Hate Speech, and I would find D. Peter Herbert's reporting of Hopkins far more acceptable and 'noble' if I was assured that he had been as equally moved and incensed by the far more serious Hate Speeches of Hamza and company and had similarly reported them.

In a similar vein, I am a Christian, but I find ISIS beheadings of ANY innocent victims evil and atrocious - no matter what the Nationality, Colour, Race or Faith of those victims - and I have posted as much accordingly.

Just my opinion.

Maybe he doesn't think it's "more offensive" though but people pick their causes. Would you accuse someone who does alot of work for animal charities of not valuing humans as much? It's the same difference imo This "black lawyer" may feel more personally offended by this. You say you "I am a Christian, but I find ISIS beheadings of ANY innocent victims evil and atrocious - no matter what the Nationality, Colour, Race or Faith of those victims" and I don't doubt you mean that for a second but I still hear you speak about Christians more so and there's nothing wrong with that either as it's closer to home for you
