Sign up for this important webinar on vandalism against Hindu temples and attacks on Hindus.

 

Hindu temples have been facing a sleuth of attacks (vandalism) in USA and in Trinidad and elsewhere. The Hindu American Foundation (HAF) is holding an important webinar addressing this issue. The HAF’s leadership is inviting the leadership and members of temples to join this important webinar.

 

The organization notes that “there is a nexus of forces attacking our community. … Our goal is to make you hyper aware of the growing set of challenges that Hindu Americans and our institutions face and what we need to do to counter it”.

 

The HAF issued a release:

“Hindu temples are facing a string of vandalism – most recently in New York and California – and there’s a disturbing trend of law enforcement agencies, particularly federal ones, refusing to take these attacks seriously. … When Hindus report the crimes, federal agencies chalk them up to intercommunity dynamics or political disputes. In reality, the motivation is religious hatred for Hindus”.

 

 

The HAF adds: “It is important that our community be aware of what is happening behind the scenes because it directly impacts you. We will NOT be releasing a recording of this webinar so please mark your calendars for Thursday, October 17th.

 

Whether you frequent one of the mandirs that has been targeted or whether your children are off to a college with concerning sources of funding or whether you are confronted by a colleague due to dubious journalism, this webinar matters to you”.
