Since many on the left around here like to call on the "hate laws" and since Mods around here arn't likly to pick up on this sort of behavior, I thought I would mention what is really happening here.

However, at some point these religious groups may be seen as spreading hate against individuals. We have laws against such activity.

Some of these posts are calling for Christians to be thrown to the lions, meaning these posts are calling for the death of (in part or in whole) Christians. I say Christians for two reasons: 1.) They represent the largest religious group (or groups) in Canada. 2.) The historical context of using lions (by the Romans) to kill Christians.
