It really depends on how he did it. If he made it obvious and publicized the fact that he was throwing a Koran in the toilet, his intent was probably to piss people off, in which case, I can see some justification for charging him with a hate crime. That's the definition of a hate crime isn't it? It has to do with the motivation behind the act, not the act itself.
