hard to comment on this being very close to religious topics.

At any rate, While I myself am Christian, I have to say that those three are idiots. Last I check we here in America have Freedom of Religion. As such Congress can't just have a Christian prayer to open. Nor could they be exclusive to any other religion. That would be the same as promoting it as a national religion. something not permitted by the constitution.

So while I don't believe in Hindu beliefs, I don't think it's right to make a ruckus and disrupt someone in the middle of a prayer. Not very respectful, and I myself would be rather irritated if someone disrupted my prayers, whether public or private.
