These 'criminal acts' that you mention, are they crimes against their own laws set by their government? or are you talking about burning effigies and flags of western nations? in any case, if someone carried out an action that is not against the laws of the country and does not break international law, techinically its not a crime no matter how despicable it may seem.

It was san example of the "hate crimes" being levied in the OP. My thinking and granted it was on little to no sleep, is why all of a sudden is France arresting people for demonstrating against a country? What laws did these people break?
And now because I use an example I am a racist? wow big leap there RB. But I guess you all have labelled me since I didn't drink the Obama Kool Aid in 08, that it is ok to continue doing so. the point I was making or trying to make that you seem to want to jump on me for, is simple..... IF people can be arrested for hate crimes and called anti-semitic for demonstrating against Isrealian policies, then it could be taken a step further if people stood in support of the rebellions in Egypt, Libya, Saudi and elsewhere..... since they are primarily conservative Muslim run governments. Why is that different than demonstrating against Isreal and not being anti semitic? Because they are muslim countries? If that was an attempt at humor, I'm sorry, I didn't get it.... been called racist here too often for my views because they aren't deemed acceptable. But they are just my opinions and in no way am I prejudiced. I have my own problems to care about than someone's race, religion, sex orientation and so on.
