You need to edit your post. Bethlehem temple is not exactly a Hindu temple.. so is world deliverance temple.
not just non-Hindus.. even Hindus who don't lead a sattvic lifestyle are considered mlecchas according to saStrAs.. so analysis fail on your part..
Blaming religion for this is like blaming rain for the failure of a badly designed and imporperly maintained dam failing. It is the idiots who abuse religion that are at fault...at least wrt these two religions.
Aw, how cute. Religion is a guise that cowards hide behind. It is to blame, for giving people a motivation and the gall to act in such ways.
No, cybrsage is right. Those guys would be just as big a bunch of assholes without religion.

I don't think that you can say that it was just Christianity that made them stick a pigs head on a pole and look for trouble.
I wasn't talking about Christianity though, the Christians put a pigs head on a pole, who cares, they have the right to do it and the fact that muslims have TO RESORT TO VIOLENCE just shows there values
Putting pigs' heads on spikes don't show Christians by their true colors, but Muslims resorting to violence do? That they have the legal right doesn't mean they have a working moral compass.
But yeah, I'm pretty sure the world would be much, much better off without the religious bigotry. Religion is a very destructive and segregating force.
Maybe the Christians shouldn't have done the pigs head, BUT THEY STILL HAVE A RIGHT TO DO IT, THE MUSLIMS WERE 100% WRONG TO USE VIOLENCE, if the muslims peacefully countered they would be alright but that's not what happened.
I agree with you that certain religions cause a lot more harm than good.
As has been pointed out, just because you have a right to do something doesn't mean you should exercise that right. The Christians put the pigs head on a pole and shouted phrases such as "God is not Allah" to provoke reactions. A few young Muslims chose to react with violence. If you don't want Christianity painted with a broad brush for the actions of a few, then don't do it to Islam.
All religions have as part of their respective followers a vocal and extremist few who "set the tone" in the media and framing public discourse. Don't fall victim to the trap.
I stated earlier that maybe the Christians shouldn't have done it, no one can tell them to do that or not BUT they still have the RIGHT to do it though which is why I support there right.
It was more than just a FEW of them , it was much more
I support their right to have meaningful discourse. I just happen to think that having a pig's head on a pole and shouting "God is not Allah" and other choice phrases is an incredibly stupid way to start meaningful discourse. It could be easily seen as incitement to riot as well.

I dont care if they did that
Simple Question: Do they have the RIGHT to do this?
WND later learned that the Christian crowd had been carrying a pole with a pig’s head attached to the top, further angering the Muslim crowd. At the beginning of the video, Christian street preachers shout, “God is good, and God is not Allah!”
Police approached Israel, of OfficialStreetPreachers.com, warning him, “The city of Dearborn has an ordinance, OK, that you guys can’t use the megaphone. So, if you guys continue to use that, you will get a citation.”
Israel noted that the group was allowed to use the megaphone in 2011. Then he asked the officer, “So, if we don’t use a megaphone, can we throw water bottles at the crowd?”
The officer shook his head no.
“So what are you going to do if they throw water bottles at us?” Israel asked.
“If that happens, we will take care of that and address it,” the officer promised.

I somewhat agree, but especially the ones that found the need to use violence
OP how could you fail to mention this?????? you're such a troll to post that "Christians" were "attacked" without mentioning they were going into an Arab Muslim neighborhood with a pig on a pole and trying to provoke them with a loudspeaker. Can you atleast TRY to be subtle about your racism & hate? If muslims did this in a christian neighborhood, and christians pelted them, i'm sure you'd be taking the muslims side yea?
As far as im concerned Christians don't do nonsense like this, they were ppl parading as Christians cause it sure as hell aint Christ like to go picking fights. And is it coincidence that the guys name is Israel???? some pro-israeli Christian protest group, no wonder the police sided with the muslims.
If white supremecasists walked into a black neighbourhood and tried to provoke them they would get NO sympathy whatsoever!
If you go looking for trouble, its very easy to find.
In this story, the "majority" are christians (in the US) and the minority are muslims.
