What is the difference between "Hate Crime" and Terrorism?
We have special laws dealing with terrorists but the same folks that put those laws into place balk at "Hate Crime Laws". Why? :shrug:

1. Well there is an answer but not the one you are looking for
Terrorism is designed to spread fear and panic throughout all of society. Hate crimes are designed to do the same to a subset of the same society. Why can't people see the two as equal? It's all that "when they came for..." bit again really.
