Hindu Temple Vandalized in the US

A Hindu Temple in the US state of Washington has been vandalized with a hate message spray-painted on its outer walls, mentioning "Get out". From the message it seems more like a racist attack than religious one. The authorities have started investigation into the incident and hopefully the responsible should be arrested soon. 

In general the Hindu community has been one of the most peaceful and educated ones in the US as well as in other nations and such an incident is a blot in the face of the US authorities who must come out and hold the responsible persons accountable for their action. 

Even the timing of this attack is mischievous as it comes before the Hindu festival of Maha Shivratri. 

More Attacks on Hindu Temples than in Churches
