What qualifies as hate speech? If I were to say "I think homosexuality is wrong", would I be guilty of hate speech?

Sounds like bad news to me.
to the loony liberal left wing mind, yes it is hate speech and you should be burned at the stake.

"Hate speech" is codeword for "conservatives, shut up or suffer the consequences."

In Norway it is politically correct to be for Palestina and against Israel, so if you dare to speak up FOR Israel you better take cover.

on-topic: I really don't know what to say about this. I can't make an opinion if I don't know what has been said on facebook. Maybe it was, like you said, death threathning or maybe it was just persons giving their opinions (opposite to Merkel's opinion) on the recent occupation of Germany by the muslim immigrants.

Heres some of the article
[FONT="]German police conducted, for the first time ever, a series of raids across the country Wednesday targeting people who posted “hate speech” on Facebook.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT="]Some 25 German police departments raided 60 homes in 14 counties in a move to combat what is seen as a growing problem with hate speech permeating the country, The Verge reported Wednesday.[/FONT]

[FONT="]Hate speech has been growing in Germany over the last 18 months, according to the newspaper Deutsche Wells, based on data from a study undertaken by the German anti-racism group, Antonio Amadeu Stiftung (AAS).[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT="]“The monitoring report reveals that the agitation is intensifying in the social media,” Anetta Kahane, AAS chairwoman said in a statement.[/FONT]

[FONT="]The rise in hate speech is thought to be directly linked to the massive wave of refugees entering the country. German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, said she welcomed the refugees in 2015. “I’m happy that Germany has become a country that many people abroad associate with hope,” Merkel said at a press conference in Berlin.

Seriously?? I guess Im lucky ive only had posts removed but now the police is raiding homes. So much to freedom of speech now..

Freedom of speech is dead in Germany for some time now.
Muslims can preach or threathen others according to their wishes, but native German cannot say anything.

Yet as they are the chosen people of God we have the duty to stand with Israel.

Freedom of speech isn't exactly a long-standing virtue among the Germans, is it?

I bet that helps a lot with a President who puts himself above the law...
Correct. I cannot imagine what awful shape we would be in if we didn't have our roots.

It's sad we are living on a loan from the past. I fear it can only last for so long.

Nope. Not me. I'm a christian. I don't have the duty to support evil-doing, racism and discrimination against people (be them christians, jews, muslims, chosen people of God or not). If you actually read the gospels you would see that Christ himself doesn't support that.

Perhaps.

But if the Lord terries, I think we can experience good days again. Not perfect, but good. We just have to act more like Dallas and less like Baltimore.

Well, I hope you DO know that running your mouth on FB or Twitter is just about the dumbest thing you can possibly do. You are just asking for it if you do.
Not in a free country, imho.

We are the chosen people of God and we have the duty to stay on the side of those, who are right. Jew or Greek, does not matter.

Let us support Israel because this is the only one normal country there. Democratic, secular, under attack. Not because we have some virtual duty.
