Kneel Before Zed!

A Hindu chaplain from Nevada was shouted down before and during his prayer to open up the U.S. Senate this morning.
History was made in the Senate today. "Let us pray. We meditate on the transcendental glory of the deity supreme who is inside the heart of the Earth, inside the life of the sky, and inside the soul of the heaven."
Those were the words of a chaplain with the Indian Association of Northern Nevada, Rajan Zed, who delivered the first Hindu prayer ever on the floor of the U.S. Senate. However, that prayer did not go off without a hitch. As Zed was approaching the podium to speak, a man in the gallery interrupted the ceremony and had to be escorted out of the chamber by the sergeant-at-arms.
When the Hindu chaplain finally began to speak, there was yet another interruption, this time from two women in the gallery. Both interruptions, which included references to scriptures found in the Bible, were eventually silenced.
(Editor's note: Audio link above contains actual verbal interchange during this event this morning in the U.S. Senate.)
Zed, who was noticeably shaken by the loud shouts from the gallery, then proceeded to give his prayer, which included a pantheistic view of God.
We now see what happens when socialist, PC Democrats with their Republican allies run the government!
Hindu indeed!
Where is an imam when he's needed?
Zed approached a hotdog vendor later on and said, “Make me one with everything.”
I think I should issue a fatwah
...or some good ol' chicken sacrifices?
Multiculturalism, politically-correct crap is what brought us to this disgraceful period in American history. Thank you Liberals and RINOs. Our founding fathers are turning in their graves and the rest of us, who still have a brain, who love our country, support our military, and want a secure future for our children and grand children, are outraged!
All I can say is wow. I hope you don’t expect anybody else to respect your religion ether.
Didn’t Mrs. Helen Graham, Billy’s wife, once remark that given the way America is going that God may owe an apology to Sodom and Gommorah?
Personally, I think retribution is coming in a big way and the only thing holding it off is a relatively few holy people being righteous.

I was kind of hoping that Barack Hussein Obama had shouted him down with a few hearty “Allah Akbars!”
I guess it’s all right to be equal, as long as you’re equally intolerant. Hindus cause about as much problems as a breeze and are a potential ally in the war against islam but what the freak. We’ll just do what we believe a carpenter’s son would have wanted.
and inside the brain of a kook....
...and we continue the downward spiral.
What are the names of those who did this?
This was an extremely stupid thing to do. I would not be surprised if this was a set up.
What to DO! What to DO!
I mean: This Guy is SAYING A PRAYER!! In the SENATE!: a Gov’t Building no less!!
But Then...Mmmmm.... He is NOT Catholic! or Jewish!...
Oh-Well—The Dems were probably thinking;
“..too bad it couldn't’t have been a MUSLIM Iman!!...we could have ACCUSED the Hecklers of being CONSERVATIVES! ( Don’t MATTER What they were anyhow!!) and the PRESS would have carried THAT Everywhere!-don’t matter that it would have been true or false! The PRESS would have done our bidding!...”
DA
Maybe it is socialist PC Democrats, but we are an inclusive country now whether we like it or not. My next door neighbor is Indian Indian, has very nice manners, and I have no clue what his religion is, whether he has converted to Christianity or what. So far, he has been a wonderful, friendly neighbor without being overbearing. It is odd and different, yes, but I don't think he would turn me in somewhere rather than come to me about it first, if such were to happen like some of my so-called Christian ones have done in the past when I was struggling.
If it were in my power, I would be the first in line to apologize to this man for what has happened. What an embarassment.
Thank you.
I thought I was the only one here that felt this way.

The first Imam to give a prayer in the Senate was in 1992.
It was Wallace D. Muhammad, son of the founder of the Black Muslims, Elijah Muhammad.
More Christians who want the government to recognize them as the offical religion.
Kneel Before Zed!
