The sad thing is...these people really believe that allowing that guest Hindu Chaplain to pray is an abomination. This kind of exclusionary attitude of America is what I detest...and it is obviously quite contrary to principals of our Constitution.

Christian Right Activists Disrupt Hindu Chaplain In The Senate

By Eric Kleefeld

Today was a historic first for religion in America's civic life: For the very first time, a Hindu delivered the morning invocation in the Senate chamber — only to find the ceremony disrupted by three Christian right activists.

..

The three protesters, who all belong to the Christian Right anti-abortion group Operation Save America, and who apparently traveled to Washington all the way from North Carolina, interrupted by loudly asking for God's forgiveness for allowing the false prayer of a Hindu in the Senate chamber.

"Lord Jesus, forgive us father for allowing a prayer of the wicked, which is an abomination in your sight," the first protester began.

"This is an abomination," he continued. "We shall have no other gods before You."

Senator Bob Casey (D-PA), serving as the presiding officer for the morning, immediately ordered them taken away — though they continued to yell at the Hindu cleric as they were headed out the door, shouting out phrases such as, "No Lord but Jesus Christ!" and "There's only one true God!"

The cleric, Rajan Zed of Reno, Nevada, was visibly nervous and uncomfortable as he then delivered the morning prayer. But to his credit, he soon regained his footing and was able to make it through in a dignified fashion.

For their part, Operation Save America put out an interesting press release, claiming responsibility for the protests and castigating Senators for not joining in:

Theology Moved to the Senate and was Arrested

Theology has moved from the church house onto the floor of the United States Senate, and has been arrested.

Ante Pavkovic, Kathy Pavkovic, and Kristen Sugar were all arrested in the chambers of the United States Senate as that chamber was violated by a false Hindu god. The Senate was opened with a Hindu prayer placing the false god of Hinduism on a level playing field with the One True God, Jesus Christ. This would never have been allowed by our Founding Fathers.

"Not one Senator had the backbone to stand as our Founding Fathers stood. They stood on the Gospel of Jesus Christ! There were three in the audience with the courage to stand and proclaim, 'Thou shalt have no other gods before me.' They were immediately removed from the chambers, arrested, and are in jail now. God bless those who stand for Jesus as we know that He stands for them." Rev. Flip Benham, Director, Operation Save America/Operation Rescue

Some guy named Picasso sketched just a few lines together and called it art...silly man.

But at least our religious nuts don't kill dozens of people on a daily basis.

How is freedom of speech 'wrong'? There's a huge difference between suicide bombing and yelling.

How many terrorists have been Hindu?

Even though this has nothing to do with this thread, there are Hindu terrorists. The LTTE, a banned terrorist organization that operates in the island nation of Sri Lanka, almost entirely consists of Tamil-speaking Hindus.

I wasn't comparing our nuts to Hindus. I have nothing against anyone of any religion delivering the morning invocation.

No $hit. Free speech is a privilege that allows ill-mannered idiots to behave like ill-mannered idiots. Whatever. They can say what they like - I don't have to respect their idiotic opinion.
