wow - gosh - this will lead to massive backlash !!. Converting other religious places of worship will lead to deep resentment with the local majority christians. Indians abroad should not misuse the generosity of the white christians.

what if a old unused temple or Mosque had been converted to a Church, everyone would have been up in arms like the Sikhs did due to a silly joke by a famous comedian !!

Mr. Jaykay767,

I beg to differ from you. There may be resentment in white supremacist community, but they resent all colored people, and it is a fringe group. The wast majority of american truly believe in secularism at the community level. They may be very religious at personal level, but they want government out of religion. Fortunately they have positive image of Hinduism, and buddhism. In general they are very tolerant of other religion. Except after 9-11 there is a backlash against Islam (it may be due to the image). They generally care about their neighborhood. So if a blighted church is converted to a well kept temple, it would be welcome.

We built a sprawling Temple in my town, it was inaugurated by the Governor of the state. We invited all dignitaries from state, county, and the city. We invited the all the neighbors to the temple. We are law abiding and neighborly. We adopted the street and participate in other local activities. We have great relations in the community.
