This is a plain bigotry and hate campaign against Hindus.

This is a place of worship - not a terrorist camp. What is wrong with you people?

These are not American hating Muslims from the near east. Let them build their place of worship.

Hinduism is the 4th largest religious group in the world. With 16% of the worlds' population practicing hinduism, it is ignorant to state that it is an "odd" religion. Non-judgment day is near!

I can understand why the Hindu folks would like to have their temple in a nice quiet community. For some reason, I jes' can't see them feelin' too comfortable in Akron or Cleveland.
I also don't see any bigotry in the residents desire to maintain their residential community. It is their community after all, and they should have the right to decide what they want there. As it is, the folks who opposed the temple, only opposed it in the proposed location, they offered another location, within the community, as an alternative.

The way I see it, as promised by the Constitution of the United States and I am sure by the Charter of the mentioned city, is that this is a democracy. So majority should rule, and if necessary this disagreement should be settled by plebicite.
If they don't want a Hindu temple, so what...there are many other areas in Summit county to locate.

It is interesting to note that just 2 doors South of the proposed building site on the same side of the street there is an Alzheimers nursing facility & Doctor & Dentistry building, but they don't seem to be too concerned about that.
The Alzheimer facility (Pine Valley) is a 24 hr. operation with a lit parking lot.
Their concerns sound a bit suspect perhaps?!

I thought your right as a property owner was to have a say in how you use your own property...not someone else's property.
If you mean "the right to comment on a development proposal", that is a right that extends to all people, whether they are property owners or not.
People in the suburbs are such bumpkins. Parking lot light glare? Give me a break.
This mentality is the reason that we will never end our dependence on oil, or build things in ways that make the least bit of sense. Back in ancient times (50 years ago) people used to live near churches, synagogues and (GOD FORBID) stores. This was so things would actually be convenient and one wouldn't have to drive five miles to buy a gallon of milk.
But now, in our paranoid modern era, we would rather hole up in our suburban bunkers and await the apocalypse. Which might just come in the form of a Hindu temple.

Would you say the same thing if you replaced the words "black people" with "Hindu temple"?

Thanks, DNB. You are so right. Hinduism is also the oldest "living" religion. I dare say other religions borrowed some of their concepts from Hinduism and that told their people the religion was pagan. Hinduism has the concept of one God. It also has a Trinity. It also has saints and angels. Some scholars believe that Jesus' sermon on the mount is a compilation of Hindu and Jewish sayings. Hindus also have the most incredible respect for life - especially human life! The idiot bigots need to get their acts together. You want good neighbors? You want safe neighbors? You want the value of your neighborhood preserved? Well welcome the Hindus with open arms then. Help them move in!

From the comments noted in the article, I bet they wouldn't be complaining if there was a megachurch being built there.
True, as property owners, they do have the right to complain. But if they have been sleeping on their rights regarding other large, well-lit structures in the area, they'll have an uphill battle to fight.

Amazing. In this country we have freedom of religion and civil liberties...but only if you follow "our" religion!?!?!
This is just plain bigotry.
Those residents should be ashamed of themselves.

Yeah, but I bet if a good ol' Amerikan Christian church wanted to build there...no problem!

Not only wealthy, smart, and clean...but also peaceful, hardworking, and very devotional.
Seems like a win/win to me.

This area is zoned residential. Did you also miss that fact?

they should build this in the community that their members live in, not put it in one that doesn't want it. All it's going to do is spawn hate period.
