There was umbrage here when it was learnt that Archbishop Nikon wrote a letter to the Mayor of Moscow urging him not to allow the construction of a Hindu temple in Moscow because according to him, Lord Krishna who is worshipped by the Hindu community was an "evil demon".

Oh wow, you mean a religious leader doesn't have the right to say what his faith teaches him?

"Such untenable words in an age where interfaith harmony is the need of the day are nothing but an attempt to malign and persecute a faith community that teaches respect and freedom for every other faith community, " commented Ramesh Kallidai, Secretary General Hindu Forum of Britain, an umbrella organisation of most community groups in Britain.

Ahh, that explains it, modern nihilistic PC crap. The British best take care of their own "garden" before there is a Paris happening in London.

As for the temple, there was no place in Moscow proper that it would fit the architecture adn the city didn't allow it. They were told, however, that they could open it outside the city. You've heard of zoning, right? Russia also has a Manohra on Red Square right now, how TGJ you missed that article, I'll never know, since I did post it.

Also, the world's biggest Buddhist temple just opened in eastern Russia, so sorry, your half arsed attempt to start a war on FR failed.
