Video at CNN:
Three protesters disrupted a prayer by a Hindu chaplain Thursday at the opening of a Senate hearing, calling it an abomination and shouting slogans about Jesus Christ.I would also point out that while I don't think a Hindu prayer is appropriate at the Senate, I wouldn't shout the man down... and when I say "Hindu prayer", I mean any prayer.
It was the first time the daily prayer that opens Senate proceedings was said by a Hindu chaplain.
Capitol police said two women and one man were arrested and charged with causing a disruption in the public gallery of the Senate. The three started shouting when guest Chaplain Rajan Zed, a Hindu from Nevada, began his prayer.
Praying to your imaginary friend has nothing to do with good government.

I don't agree with the Christians making such an outburst, but I also find it difficult to believe that Christian Prayer is essentially outlawed because of the seperation of church and state thing, yet the last DNC meeting opened with a Muslim prayer, and this senate meeting opened with a Hindu prayer, and the left is totally fine with that. I agree with you on one thing: if Christian prayer is considered inappropriate, then all prayer should be inappropriate.
Some Christians can be vile, but you can't judge the entire faith because of a few nutcakes.
"I also find it difficult to believe that Christian Prayer is essentially outlawed because of the seperation of church and state thing, yet the last DNC meeting opened with a Muslim prayer, and this senate meeting opened with a Hindu prayer, and the left is totally fine with that."
The senate begins each day w/ a prayer doug. Apparently 364 days a year it's a christian prayer. This time it was hindu and it brought out the crazies.
And, no, the left is not totally fine with it. We don't want any prayer in the senate. But if there's going to be prayer then I have no problem it being any religion that wants to get up there and pray.
