Hindu prayer disruption at the Senate


Your religious freedom in America is only an abstract right.  If you are not a right-wing Christian it soon becomes obvious what religions count and which religions don't.
 
We saw a good example of this today when the Hindu Chaplain Rajan Zed, who was giving the opening prayer in the Senate, was almost shouted down by protestors.  Finally, the sergeant-at-arms restored order. 

According to some sources, Ante Pavkovic, Kathy Pavkovic, and Kristen Sugar were all arrested in the chambers of the United States Senate for their grave misconduct who, in essence, violated the principles of the First Amendment of the Constitution.

What made these Christian extremists believe that the floor of the Senate was reserved only for Chaplains of the children of Abraham?  Didn't these Christian hooligans happen to read the Treaty of Peace, Friendship and Commerce between the United States and Tripoli, that was signed by President George Washington that said "[T]he United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion...."?  I guess not. 

One also has to wonder if these kinds of Christians would, in the future, resort to terrorism to defend their beliefs?  Would they go so far as to desecrate Hindu and Buddhist temples in the United States or use some form of terrorism?

For a more detailed information on Ante Pavkovic, et al., this site is interesting: http://community.livejournal.com/dark_christian/
