When Feds Forget Freedom of Faith (and the Fundies Who Love Them)

jul 29th, 2007

why isn't a group of indian MPs writing to the us president in protest
against this? the BJP should surely take this up. making a little
noise will put the yanks on the defensive, as demonstrated by the
chinese again and again.

after all, yank congressmen are constantly lecturing india in similar
fashion by writing intrusive letters about internal matters, the
latest inspired by the 'dalit freedom network' yammering about the
caste system.

this is a good article.

When Feds Forget Freedom of Faith (and the Fundies Who Love Them)

By Tim Mitchell


It took America, a nation that supposedly prides itself on religious
freedom and diversity, over 200 years since its establishment to ask
someone from one of the largest non-Abrahamic faiths in the world to
give a prayer in both its House of Representatives and Senate. This
delayed invitation, in addition to America 's ongoing support of
evangelical Christian missionary efforts in the Hindu homeland of
India , makes this inclusion of a Hindu chaplain feel more backhanded
than genuine, even if protestors hadn't been present.
