Author and journalist Megan Basham posted a photo of a church juxtaposing it with a photo of a Ganesh idol immersion and said immigration policies that change the country's culture from church to Ganesh idol should be opposed. "You are biblically allowed to oppose immigration policies that change your country's culture from this to this," Basham wrote, referring to the photos.
Basham elaborated that this is not about skin color or ethnicity. "It’s about not wanting to encourage a culture of open pagan idolatry in your nation. Everything that is legal is not beneficial," she said.
On Christians in other countries, Basham said Christians are biblically obligated for service. "Nations can dictate what religious culture is welcome in their country. But Christians are biblically obligated to break those laws in service to a higher law. And ultimately, all nations answer to God so they are breaking his higher law by not welcoming Christians," the NYT bestselling author posted.
The dog-whistling alerted other known Hindu-haters as Texas GOP leader Alexander Duncan who recently stirred a controversy slamming the Hanuman statue in Texas wrote: "Completely agree, We as Christians are called to oppose false gods idols, evil etc."
Indian-American commentator Dinesh D'Souza supported Megan Basham's opinion and posted: "I agree wholeheartedly with this".
D'Souza was called out and asked to go back to India instead of embracing American culture as his own. "Dinesh don’t forget where your ancestors came from and what they were before they converted!" one wrote.
The controversy comes amid an anti-Hindu and anti-Indian wave in the country. GOP leader and Ohio Governor election candidate Vivek Ramaswamy was recently asked about his Hindu faith and how it fits into the role of leading a "Christian state" like Ohio. Ramaswamy said he follows ethical monotheism branch of Hinduism and it does not come in the way of his political ambition as he is not contesting to become Ohio's pastor.
