Racist attacks against Hindus

Racism against Hindus in Seattle, Washington It's long past the time  of Rosa Parks -about 60 years-- ever since Parks maintained her rights and  refused to give up the seat on the bus to a white passenger on Dec. 1, 1955. She was sitting in the seat reserved for blacks and since all of them had filled up, four passenger including Parks were asked to vacate the seat just behind the white section of the bus. Surprisingly,  even today,  racism shows its ugly face. In this day and age, a  racist attacks against Hinduism, a peaceful religion, is really degrading and insulting to  hear. There have been recent spate of attacks on them. Below is the story of what happened in Seattle last week (Feb. 15): http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/11417352/Racist-vandals-accidentally-paint-sacred-Swastika-on-Hindu-temple.html Also a grandfather in Alabama was attacked by American cops: http://www.al.com/news/huntsville/index.ssf/2015/0...
