Yes, but those motivated by the racism or other forms of hatred deserve to be look at differently, if for no other reason than the education of the ignorant.

That is because what you said is irrational. Murder is murder, and no man is of greater importance than any other, since each man has an infinite value as an image of God.

The rationale of the Hate Crime idea was never to "elevate the victim" rather it was to teach. To teach the racist, the homophobics, the, sexists, the anti-religious.

I cannot believe that you are really that naive? Hate crime legislation may have been well intentioned in the beginning, but now it is about endorsing an immoral agenda by making the homosexual inclination a legally protected category, while giving people who are afflicted with this perverted sexual condition special rights.

Religion teaches -the purpose of the law is to prevent harm and prevent injustice. This law does the opposite - it enshrines injustice in the name of political correctness.
