Legality doesn't come into it. Something can be morally wrong and be legal at the same time.
For example, I could walk out onto the street with a loudspeaker and suggest that all LGBT people deserve to be exterminated like vermin. Morally speaking, it's wrong. Legally speaking, it's acceptable, as hate speech laws do not cover anyone outside of race, ethnicity, or national origin where I live.
Is it wrong for people to behead others in the street? Yes. Is it wrong for people to disrespect religious figures? Absolutely.
"LGBT people being exterminated like vermin" is not legally nor morally acceptable. It is a clear hate speech and calling for someone others' deaths. You can go to jail for just saying that.
On the other hand, "disrespecting" religious figures is extremely subjective. Countless people has been tried, imprisoned, and even executed over "blasphemy". You can say all you want about all religious figures and it would still be legal and morally acceptable (providing you don't intentionally "hate" them). If someone harmed you for that, you are the clear victim from both moral and legal grounds.
