Greg Gutfeld To Open A Gay Bar Next To Ground Zero Mosque To Cater To “Islamic Gay Men” by Jon Bershad | 8:23 pm, August 9th, 2010
No, this is not a joke. In fact, it is instead one of the most brilliant pieces of provocations in recent years. Greg Gutfeld from Fox News’ Red Eye announced today via his blog that he is actively speaking to investors and plans on opening a gay bar next to the controversial mosque being built near Ground Zero in New York. To make matters worse (better?) the bar will be specifically designed to cater to homosexuals of the Islamic faith. God, this is going to be an exciting block.
Here’s Gutfeld’s entire post which he will expand upon during tonight’s Red Eye:
“So, the Muslim investors championing the construction of the new mosque near Ground Zero claim it’s all about strengthening the relationship between the Muslim and non-Muslim world.
As an American, I believe they have every right to build the mosque – after all, if they buy the land and they follow the law – who can stop them?
Which is, why, in the spirit of outreach, I’ve decided to do the same thing.
I’m announcing tonight, that I am planning to build and open the first gay bar that caters not only to the west, but also Islamic gay men. To best express my sincere desire for dialogue, the bar will be situated next to the mosque Park51, in an available commercial space.
This is not a joke. I’ve already spoken to a number of investors, who have pledged their support in this bipartisan bid for understanding and tolerance.
As you know, the Muslim faith doesn’t look kindly upon homosexuality, which is why I’m building this bar. It is an effort to break down barriers and reduce deadly homophobia in the Islamic world.
The goal, however, is not simply to open a typical gay bar, but one friendly to men of Islamic faith. An entire floor, for example, will feature non-alcoholic drinks, since booze is forbidden by the faith. The bar will be open all day and night, to accommodate men who would rather keep their sexuality under wraps – but still want to dance.
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 center near Ground Zero, is no different than mine.

So... Conservatives on this board SUPPORT a gay bar at WTC, but OPPOSE a house of prayer!
So much for 'family values'!

Don't twist my words boxy and don't make it political. All I said was welcome to America, the land of the free.

BT hate to tell you--the Mosque will flourish but a gay bar built for Islamic men will go broke. If a Muslim is gay do you think he gives a rat's a$$ about the alcohol?

Fanatics throughout history have had a hypocritical attitude toward sex. The men who crashed two planes into the World Trade Center claimed to be pious but spent the night before the attacks with prostitutes
http://www.NewsAndOpinion.com -- Here's a contradiction. Many of the mass murderers who destroyed the World Trade Center went to prostitutes and lap dancers just before the attacks. That might seem unimportant, except for the fact that they claimed to be pious and, in part, justified their attacks by accusing the West of being a hotbed of sexual licentiousness. This behaviour reveals the ambivalent sexual undercurrent that is part of Islamic extremism with its view of woman as sin-evoking temptress, best appreciated either totally veiled, or totally unveiled.
In the early 20th century, an Islamic movement called salafiyya swept through much of Islam, influencing the official Wahabi ideology of the Saudi state and the radical Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. The movement aimed to revive medieval Islamic practices. By the 1930s, it portrayed Western culture as equivalent to jahiliyya, an Arabic term for the barbarousness that preceded Islam.
Osama bin Laden, originally a playboy and drinker, was influenced by this line of thought through Egyptian writer Sayyid Qutb. In his book Signposts on the Road, Qutb wrote that the West was "the most dangerous jahiliyya which has ever menaced our faith." In one of his books about his 1948-50 trip to America, Qutb described a church dance in Greely, Colo.: "Every young man took the hand of a young woman. And these were the young men and women who had just been singing their hymns! Red and blue lights, with only a few white lamps, illuminated the dance floor. The room became a confusion of feet and legs: arms around hips; lips met lips; chests pressed together." Pretty tame stuff compared to the paid sex his murderous followers would indulge in.
The story of the terrorists' foray into American sexual hospitality came out when a Boston prostitute "freaked out" after seeing pictures of the Sept. 11 hijackers. She recognized one from her tryst with him Sept. 9 at the Park Inn, in Newton, Mass. Two of the hijackers of American Airlines Flight 11, which crashed into the World Trade Center, Waleed M. Alshehri and Wail M. Alshehri, spent the night in that hotel.
"Land Of The Free"... unless you're a Muslim and you want to build a Mosque.

Shadow--ROTFLMAO That is not indicative of Muslim men--it's ALL men. Women need a reason to have sex--men just need a place! Guess if the above is true--that sheds some question on the belief of the promised "70 virgins" in paradise. Shadow this is just too funny--is that why you posted it?

Sweetie, I know christian gays who go to gay bars and don't drink alcohol! I know muslim men who go to strip clubs and drink alcohol! What's your point?

I just wanted you to know that all religious individuals aren't always what they claim to be, Jimmy Swaggart, catholic priests, and many many more say one thing but do another in the dark of the night.

Much like a mosque will in an area where there's very little residential housing - and 30 other "competitors" in the same area?
Point is--if you are a genuine practicing Muslim--you're not drinking alcohol AND you are not going to strip clubs. Period. And you're right every religious tradition has those who are not what they seem. But a gang of "gay" Muslim men are not going to the gay bar nest door to the mosque. This guy who proposes such a bar is only trying to denigrate their religion. Remember Ground Zero IS hallowed g round just like Auschwitz. Three blocks away--not so much.

But, according to Box-o-crap, it's free enterprise ... whats to say non-muslim gay people wouldn't enjoy partying there?
This is much like the "Operation Pink" opening a protest center next door to the Military recruiting center in California .. supporters of the military couldn't stop it, and in fact didn't even TRY.
And, I'd venture to say, there's more gay/lesbian Muslims (practicing) than you think. Much like some of the clergy in the Albany Catholic Diocese.
Denigrate a religion? Are we talking about the same religion that worships Mohammad, who preaches "Death to infidels" ?
