We have hate crimes, I am not sure if I totally support them, but as long as they help enforce the fact we are all 'equal' I am fine enforcing these laws.

Well I disagree and I believe that part of being equal is that everyone's rights are protected equally. That means that minority rights are protected just as much as the majority's rights. That includes not making different sets of crimes and punishments depending on whom they are committed, a minority or a non-minority.
I think that punishment should be irrespective of race, religion etc. Not the other way around.
