    • 331(2) is not 332 hatred. They are separate charged forms.
    • This is propaganda / incitement-of-support of terrorism before a large audience, not free-floating identification with a listed organisation.
    • 332. § (közösség elleni uszítás — incitement to violence or hatred against a protected group, max 3 years) is the hatred overlay. Not this quote.
