You kidding me? Hindu Missionaries in Mississipi?? lol. Till a couple of decades back these places were extremely intolerant of christians with a different skin color.
The civil rights laws were passed over 40 years ago. We are talking today.
And for the red herring about zoning laws, those apply equally to churches, and the Supreme Court has severely limited how much a municipality can restrict any religious group from building a house of worship. And you are always still free to build a little further out. No city can 100% ban churches via zoning, they have to always have some area designated as suitable (just as they have to for sexually-oriented businesses.) By law they can't treat Hindu temples any different than Christian churches.
I'm not going to go back and forth with you on this, but once again it is a complete lie that Hindu missionaries are banned in the South. And Bobby Jindal WILL win the next governor election in Louisiana, after being elected to Congress 2 years ago.
Hey WKB, do ya'll like to beat up Hindu missionaries over there in Mississippi?
I've never heard of such a thing, and see 3 Hindu temples in the Jackson area, but someone keeps claiming that ya'll don't allow them:
