religion Northern Idaho "Constitution" Group Protests Hindu Sculpture
Posted by George Prentice on Sat, Jun 11, 2011 at 11:38 AM
Travel to Idaho's panhandle this weekend and you might pass a unique statue at the corner Sherman Avenue and Sixth Street in Coeur d'Alene. It's part of the city's ArtCurrents, a new art-on-loan program. The six-foot-tall statue is of the Hindu god Ganesha, with four arms and an elephant's head.
But the Kootenai County Constitution Party is not happy, saying, "Christians of Kootenai County should be dismayed at the appearance of a Hindu demon." An official with the national office of the Constitution Party had no knowledge of the protest.
ArtCurrents placed 15 sculptures around Coeur d'Alene, including two with Christian references and another with a Native American reference.

This is what happens when one belief conflicts another. Praise to Allah and the Taliban of Northern Idaho.
