by Jerry Wofford https://www.legal-project.org/1045/tulsan-accused-of-hate-crime Excerpt: A Tulsa man is charged with a hate crime for allegedly sending an intimidating letter to the Islamic Peace Academy and posting a video online showing him desecrating a Quran, court records show. Jesse Quinn Harrison, 33, was charged Tuesday with one count each of transmitting a threatening letter and malicious intimidation or harassment - what Oklahoma statutes call a hate crime. According to the charges, Harrison is accused of sending a nine-page letter to the Islamic Peace Academy in Tulsa "with the intent to intimidate." He also made a video that shows him "smearing pork on the Quran and an Islamic religious figure and grilling those items," according to the charge. The charge states that the video was made to "produce violence directed to others because of their religious beliefs."
