    Hate crime (not hate speech) is an aggravating circumstance to a given crime (in this case, murder) that in many places carries a harsher sentence.

    That this is a murder is obvious. That this may be part of some “retaliation” against Muslims is what makes this world news (though not in the Reddit/Lemmy sense).
