I think this is great. Of course I do not live in or near Lancaster, CA, but there must be enough hajji around that a bunch of them will become outraged and attack the facility. Where they can then be slaughtered by the Children of Buddha. A win.
Giant Buddhas are actually not usually fat.
Bingo!
Buddhists are the most tolerant people I know.
About 15 years ago, a local Catholic church burned to the ground.

He never contacted the Buddhists in the area, who contacted him independently and volunteered their temple on Sunday mornings for over a year.
This is the Buddhist Temple my wife attends.
Would they allow a cross to be displayed?

I hope you didn’t think I thought they were equal. That would be incorrect.
As if Lancaster is not already?
Really close to the San Andreas fault.
It was the Germans who attacked at Pearl Harbor
The Islamists will blow it up.
