Intolerance From A To Zed
Rajan Zed gave the daily opening prayer in the US Senate today,
becoming the first Hindu to do so. That didn't sit well with a segment
of the monotheistic citizenry. The American Family Association urged
protest, and the President of Faith2Action was quoted in the Christian
press saying that "U.S. Government-sanctioned Hindu prayers are an
abomination." Three self-described "Christians and Patriots" disrupted
the prayer, "shouting 'this is an abomination' and other complaints
from the gallery," according to the Associated Press.
I wonder
if these folks know that Hindu temples get the same tax exemption as
Christian churches, which means that the US Government not only
sanctions but financially supports Hindu prayers on a daily basis. And
imagine if they found out all the breaks we give those crazy Native
Americans with their wacky beliefs!
