Senate Opens with Hindu Prayer, Christian Protest [UPDATED]
This morning, for the first time in our nation's history, the US Senate opened with a prayer from a Hindu chaplain. Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) - one of only 2 Senators present on the floor- managed to behave, but not some in the gallery:
Three Christian protestors were removed from the U.S. Senate chamber's observation gallery Thursday when they disrupted the morning prayer -- being delivered for the first time in history by a Hindu chaplain.The three unidentified protestors began praying loudly when Rajan Zed, a Hindu chaplain from Nevada, started praying. The demonstrators prayed for forgiveness from Jesus Christ for "betraying" the Christian tradition.
