The only person who voiced his concern was Bishop Fujitani, who meekly stated "For our country, it is not a good thing to measure a person's qualification by religion. Nowadays it seems to be used as a kind of a weapon. … I thought Ed Case belittled Mike Gabbard by referring to his Hare Krishna background. Some of us asked him to stop," said the Buddhist bishop, a leader in interfaith activities here since the 1960s."  http://archives.starbulletin.com/2004/11/06/features/adamski.html. Unfortunately, the Bishop only made his comment after the election was over.

And remember, not a single Democrat or Republican leader criticized the anti-Hindu religious bigotry being spouted by Mr. Crowley, Tulsi Gabbard's Republican opponent in the 2012 and 2014 General Elections. Crowley stated that Tulsi's Hindu religion, "doesn’t align with the constitutional foundation of the U.S. government." http://www.cnn.com/2012/10/29/opinion/ctl-kawika-crowley-homeless-candidate-hawaii/index.html
