I do agree the west is more subtle. But aren't some westerners calling up 'getting rid of the islam/muslims' and that sorts? When does such qualify as hate speech?

I just don't know :(

Well, Trump isn't saying we should kill them, only deport them. I think that is objectionable, but I don't think it meets the criteria for hate speech. There is obviously a line, and Trump hasn't quite crossed it yet.

Please cite a video where Trump says the US should deport anyone other than illegal aliens.

No, trump has not said that -- but plenty of conservative commentators in the US have said that. It will be interesting whether those videos get banned too.

Problem of course is that muslim countries, and plenty of muslims, are extremely intolerant of things like freedom of religion, opinion, and are in favor of things like killing gays and the like ?

Tolerating intolerant ideologies is not good, it is not social, it does not "fight racism". It it quite the opposite of that.
