the way the deities have been attacked, this is clearly a hate crime. probably committed by christist fundamentalists. this is a violation of fundamental rights.

where the heck is the USCIRF, so quick to judge other countries? what about religious freedom in the USA?
where are AID, ASHA, FOSA, FOIL, vijay prashad, biju mathew, romila thapar, witzel, farmer?
will arjun singh now get excited? of course not.
however, if a mosquito bites john dayal, the extreme bigot who is the loudest christist whiner in india, that would be branded an RSS mosquito, and he would demand that the vatican and the CIA and the USCIRF all investigate it.
btw, arjun singh is probably beside himself with joy: naushad, the kerala mohammedan whose eye was supposed to be gouged out, has been pardoned by the saudi king, and is back in kerala with both eyes intact. as for the unfortunate maniappan kutty, who was beheaded by the taliban/pakistanis while e. ahamed (foreign minister) did nothing, oh well, he was only a hindu. i am pretty certain that all the lavish promises of compensation from christist CM oommen chandy have not materialized.
basically, when a hindu or hinduism is attacked, we are supposed to take it lying down, in the interest of 'tolerance'. thus, when hindus are burnt en masse in godhra, it is 'spontaneous combustion', ie. they caught fire on their own: why, the great justice uc bandarjee can be trotted out to ratify it. but when mohammedans burn to death at best bakery, the 'spontaneous combustion' argument does not hold good.

Vandalism in and around temple areas is common in West, especially for smaller temples. Broken windows for cars, rotten eggs thrown on Clothes, and other troubles are a routine thing. No Indian mediamen highlight these though. As if Hindus don't exist, and as if Hindus aren't the patrons of these media providing them eyeballs and ad revenues.
Our Temple was Vandalise. Idols were vandalised. Who would do this to a Hindu temple?
What is the right response to such an Act?
Report the incident to the police(as was done) and let them investigate and find the culprits rather than blaming someone before hand.
Its troubling to read someone blame hindus for being hypocrites?
If Hindus have no right to raise the issue of their temples being vandalised, who has the right?
What does working in America or India or anywhere else has to do with a temple being vandalised?
See the video footage of the destruction to idols at

It was revealed that there had been 24 minor attacks that were termed Random by the highly under resourced Maplegrove Police, out of these 22 had been on Indian homes including a Chinese home.
The Police once again have termed this as a Random act, but we are getting together to fight this as Hate Crime so that federal authorities can be woken up atleast now.
Jai Shri Ram !
