        Are there any other hate crimes regarding specific religion in that list?

        This may be the wrong question, but if the notion is special treatment toward a particular religion, I need to ask… and please forgive my ignorance… what mainstream examples exist of words like “antisemitism,” but regarding some other specific religion?

        I’m trying to rule out the idea that this inclusion isn’t just a matter of listing off different common types of hate crimes. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of any words beside “antisemitism,” though I do know (1) “antisemitism” is specific to Judaism and (2) hate crime can target any religion. So, to be more fair, what else should they have included in the list?

          Islamophobia? Words like that can be made up about almost any ethnicity or religion. What wouldve been ideal will be to either not make this law or just simply say any kind of bigotry
