""Not everyone can get offended
The Swedish HMF law, something I cover extensively in my book The Madhouse, donโt cover everyone. A hate crime is defined under Swedish law as something a member of a majority group does against a minority group. Swedes and Christians are considered majority groups, hence not protected by this law. A person can be found guilty of this if he or she โthreatens or expresses disrespect for an ethnic group,โ with ethnic group being defined in a number of ways, with homosexuals having been given protected status as well in 2003. This legislation covers any expression having been made in any shape or form in Sweden โ written, verbal or in the form of art โ and aggravated cases can render the accused as much as four years in prison. Park was only charged with the regular classification, however, hence heโs facing at most two years. Had the roles been reversed in this matter, the HMF law would not have applied at all.""
