The thing with 'hate speech', is far too much time is often given to it, when it should just be ignored for the dumbassery that it is. Imposing laws on what people can and cannot say isn't too far from mind control IMO.
Is the manner in which something is said also important? for example calmly calling for someone's death as opposed to angrily criticising a religion?
