Celebrating tolerance: Gay bar right next to Ground Zero Mosque

Being inspired by Codoba House message of tolerance and understanding by them building a Mosque at Ground Zero, Greg Gutfeld from the Fox News late night show Red Eye has decided to build a Gay bar next to it. In a interview with Glen Beck, Greg explained how the idea was formed: 

Well, you know, I was thinking — I went on to their Web site, the Cordoba House website. It’s a lovely website, and they talk about preaching tolerance and communication.

And I thought how interesting is it that they are preaching tolerance and communication to Americans? I thought, wouldn’t it be great to test their tolerance?

So I figured let’s open an Islam-friendly gay bar next door to the mosque. That is my proposal and I’m sticking by it. I’m not a good businessman and I’m a terrible activist, but this might be the greatest idea I’ve ever had.

Greg Gutfield has already inquired if there was a available plot and there was – right next to the planned Mosque. He has also have rallied many investors and supporters of the idea. The bar will target gay Islamic men, there will be a alcohol free floor and will be open 24 hours for the men who would rather keep their sexuality secret.

For those who are wondering; Greg is not a homosexual, he is in fact Roman Catholic married man. Greg is mostly known for his political satire and as assured those who thought he was making a joke that he is in fact quite serious. He even went to so far as to send the Cordoba House a e-mail informing them of his plan, they did not respond however he did not give up and contacted them on twitter and this is how they responded:

You are free to open whatever you like. If you won’t consider the sensibilities of Muslims, you are not going to build dialogue.

But why is that? They did not consider the sensibilities of those families who lost loved ones in the 9/11 attack that was done in the name of Islam. Do they only want tolerance from others but are unwilling to show tolerance themselves? This will show the world what’s really their objective to build at the site of 9/11: are they there to preach tolerance or is it a Victory mosque to take claim on Ground Zero.

This is from Gutfeld’s site:

Bottom line: I hope that the mosque owners will be as open to the bar, as I am to the new mosque. After all, the belief driving them to open up their centre near Ground Zero, is no different than mine.

My place, however, will have better music.

For those who are unaware of the practises of Islam, each day at prayer hours they ‘sing’ over loudspeakers from the top of the mosque. It’s called the adhān – call to prayer and is done five times a day and may last up to 10 minutes. That’s almost a hour a day that the whole section of New York will be forced to listen to Muslims praying over a loudspeaker and they will be praying in Arabic so people won’t have a clue what’s being said. All of this in name of tolerance.
