This is a weird article, as others pointed out. I found the part about hate speech and intolerance particularly nonsensical:
(1) Western Europe has (more? stricter?) laws against hate speech than the U.S.
(2) There are more cases of hate crime (i.e. violations of these stricter laws) in Europe.
(3) Therefore, there is more intolerance in Europe than in the U.S.
It's like saying no one was ever charged in the UK for driving on the left side of the road, therefore UK drivers are superior.
