Someone just sent me the thoughts below...

AND I LOVE IT!!!

Let me if you agree or not!

"I am perplexed that so many of my friends are against a mosque being built near Ground Zero. I think it should be the goal of every American to be tolerant. The mosque should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance.

That is why I also propose, that two gay nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque thereby promoting tolerance within the mosque.
We could call the Clubs "The Turban Cowboy" and "You Mecca Me So Hot."

Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork and have an open BBQ with spare ribs as its daily special.

Across the street a very daring lingerie store called "Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret" with sexy mannequins in the window modeling the goods.

Next door to the lingerie shop, there would be room for an Adult Toy Shop, called "All Ah Need," in flashing neon lights.

I can hardly wait for Harry's comments on this!!

Wasn't Greg Gutfeld from (Fox's RedEye) actually doing this? He was raising money and pursuing permits, etc.

Greg Gutfeld: I'm Opening Gay Bar Next To Mosque

Not much on his blog about it lately, maybe he was just making a point.

I agree. Tolerance needs to be a two way street.

Except, the stated purpose by the founders of the mosque, is to build a grandiose mosque at the heart of Ground Zero, a dawa in the heart of New York City because of 9/11. Mosques have been operating all along without a problem. It's because the purpose of this mosque was to stoke emotion is why the debate has occurred. Same with the satire examples above... a gay nightclub targeted at Islam is a purposeful insult. Otherwise, I agree, who cares.

And let me put the caveat many have: they have the right to do this; I don't think they should do it; I don't want the government to interfere with the plans, but I support the private citizens who are declining to assist in building it.

Careful, you'll ruin your reputation as a hypocrisy exterminator.

My thoughts are that Patriotsreign's 'friend' is having some trouble with the meaning of the word tolerance.

It doesn't mean find an indirect way to tell Muslims that they're sub-human.

Real World

Tolerance is indeed a two way street, and while I wouldn't stand in front of the the supply truck headed for the mosque project, I do see the intentions of the proposers, for what they are. Furthermore, it's somewhat inconsiderate for people outside of that NY area, to say who cares if they build it. It's like a sex offender moving next door to you, and your 3 little daughters. People in the state next to you say "who cares", and that "they have a right to live there", but I'm guessing you wouldn't quite hold the same view.

So not only are all Muslims terrorists they're also pedophiles?

Well that's certainly illuminating.

No, but hypocrisy is something that you seem comfortable decrying and telling people that they shouldn't engage in.

It was really a tongue-in-cheek comment.

He sure did Brandon. And, like you said, he's dead serious about it. I don't know if he'll find anybody who is willing to risk their heads (literally) for this, but I hope he does. Red Eye is a great show.

As for my thoughts, I think that of course they have a right to build it. That's why this country is awesome. But you would think that if they were really concenrned about building bridges and promoting meaningful dialogue, they would consider the feelings of people before doing something like this.
