"A hindu organization in Reno, Nevada, also wants to place so the Hindus are intended to build a statue of Lord Hanuman, the hindu Monkey King." President of the universalist society of Hinduism, issued a statement saying: "in honor of Hindus living in Oklahoma, this statue would increase awareness of the inhabitants of Oklahoma about Hinduism, [the] oldest and the third largest religion in the world, with about one billion adherents with a rich philosophical thought".
The Ten Commandments monument was built in 2012 by socially conservative Christians with private funds. This is located in the grounds of the Oklahoma Statehouse Capitol building.
The State representative of Oklahoma Bob Cleveland, told CNN that he is not in favor of the statue proposed by the Satanist group. "I think that only the monuments that reflect the values of Oklahoma should be allowed at the Statehouse Capitol."
