There are several threads discussing Hindu temples destroyed by Christos from Portugal. One of these threads is at:

Another thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/goanet@goane...thrd2.html
Keep looking for the word 'temple' in these - they occur several times.
There are several Christians who are writing honestly about the Christo past in Goa (brownie points for them, but as expected, they are accused of being atheists if not apostates by others in this Goan forum). Yet others are in denial and like to wipe away the guilt of Christianity's intolerance with the usual sermon on how "all religions have done bad".


The quote on the book suggestion (Rui Gomes Pereira, 'Hindu temples and Deities') I posted earlier is from

On another matter,
Some in the Goa forums are still blaming Hindus for "raping Catholic nuns" - I think Christians all over the world do a fine job of that themselves. No need to deflect blame on uninvolved others. The Jhabua allegations made against Hindus have been shown to be false, but it has apparently not trickled down to Christian circles. See

Oh, and I especially love this one: Someone posted a p-sec's news(?) report titled
'Da Vinci Code': Christians catch the fundamentalist virus

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Mercifully, the Christian protests did not involve any violence unlike
the Hindu militants' attacks on exhibitions of M.F. Husain's
contentious paintings. But there was at least one person, former
Mumbai corporator Nicholas Almeida, who offered a reward of Rs.1.1
million to anyone who brought the author of the book before him 'dead
or alive'.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->To our p-secs, apparently Hindus mob, but Christos mercifully only protest. And a death threat to Dan "da vinci code" Brown issued by an Indian bishop is also merely a protest of course. Doesn't compare with the T'ban threats.
