makapa,
You cannot blame Kenshinng. He must have read UncleYap's post where he said it was hindu temple.
Ravi is not a racist. He is an islamic fundie!
He was shouting "allah akhbar" and calling the imam a prostitute. Its in the police charges.
When a man's mind becomes unsound, what he sees is not reality. Maybe he saw the iman as the old man, that's why such vehement vulgarity was uttered.
