#2 Islamists are such open minded multiculturalists /sarc

The council should close the muslim school and restrict mosque operating hours as recompense to the wider community.

#3 The police took half an hour to arrive the first time, didn't bother the second time. Do they dislike the yellow robes for some reason?

#4 They had better be careful. The Hare Krishna are a fairly new religion (1966), and while they prefer non-violence, they are not particularly handicapped by it. Despite appearances, they have a strong undercurrent of cold realism.

In fact, under special circumstances, they are quite capable of going Manson family on violent criminals who threaten them, and this is doctrinally acceptable, again, if not preferred.

Some years ago, there was concern in the US, because the leader of a really enormous temple had assembled a respectable armory, by US standards. Eventually the feds convinced that temple that this was becoming anti-social, so they should tone it down. They did.

But for the most part, they have also wisely discontinued a lot of their earlier oddities. For example in the US, only their clergy now wear saffron robes, and many of their temples more resemble Christian churches. Recruitment is more of Hindu immigrants instead of disaffected white kids. They no longer fund raise in public.

And unlike Muslims, they behave like other Hindus, which is to say they make an effort to integrate into society.

But in Europe, who knows? I wouldn't mind seeing a group of Hare Krishna settling difference with a group of rowdy Muslims trying to oppress them. Though unfortunately, as seems to be the case, the authorities take the side of the Muslims.

#5 Can't say I didn't think about such things, back in the airport solicitation days....
That Muslims would attack Hare Krishna, or anybody, is a given. What is important, and what varies from place to place, and what is worrisome, is the response of the authorities.
Pretty lame in this case. Probaby not going to get any better absent some action so horrendous that the authorities and the chattering classes, can't tell the population that it didn't really happen, that it wasn't that important, that it wasn't about Islam, and that getting upset about it is racist.

#6 To diminish the risk of confrontations with the Muslim-dominated neighbourhood, the devotees of the temple are from now on requested to not wear their characteristic clothes outside the temple, in order to not provoke similar attacks in the future.

WTF??? This sounds like the old cat meat argument. Those poor Muslim youths just can't help themselves, right? So it's the Hare Krishna's fault? WTF??? C'mon, Vikings. We KNOW you can do better than that. Somebody draw a cartoon or something.

Wow. Now I recall O'Hare back in the day. You'd have thought Hizzoner got a cut from those clowns. Come to think of it....
