If it's that serious it should surely be illegal?

I don't see the difference between white supremacy and radical Islam. It's possible to deliver hate speech from both perspectives and still stay legal.

The Florida school shooter had received training from white supremacists. It's homegrown terrorism.

If it's terrorism then it isn't legal surely?  I am worried that we have a boundary here that has no definition here. A set of things that some people can say but others cannot. It may be something that should be addressed but that seems to me better done but making it illegal rather than this lack of clarity.
