So they are exactly the same. This is not about semantics. This is about the issue of telling lies to stir up hatred toward a race of people. And all of your right wing sources were all over the lie the girl told about being raped and using it specifically to make a political point.
Yeah but the problem is that the New Years Muslim rape fest happened plus all the countless sexual assaults in the mean time. So the one claim doesn't really hold much water
Besides to get back on topic. If we punished all claims that didn't result in a crime then people would be hesitant to accuse anyone. Not sure that's how things are supposed to go. But then again? I'm not the lawyer
