A self-styled preacher in US Tony Miano while expressing his sympathy for those devastated by the Nepal earthquake suggested Hindus to not rebuild the temples destroyed in the quake and instead convert to Christianity.
Tony, a former Los Angeles police officer, described the temples as “pagan shrines” while goading the Nepalese to convert to Christianity. Nepal is a predominately Hindu nation (over 85%) and was the world’s only country with Hinduism as the state religion before the fall of the monarchy.
As per his website, Miano is as an open air preacher who established the Cross Encounters Ministries to provide a platform for his preaching and evangelism. He was previously accused of homophobia.
