What's all this brou ha ha?!?

No, I do not think Bill O'Reilly's comments are blatant race and religion baiting, nor do I believe only racists and bigots buy into what you refer to as inflammatory hate speech. Yes, this nation, America, was founded on the principles of religious freedom; but, when someone's religion threatens me, my children, my grandchildren, or any other member of my family, with bodily harm, I don't believe they deserve respect.
