No, this is not a joke. In fact, it is instead one of the most
brilliant pieces of provocations in recent years.* Greg Gutfield*
from Fox News? /Red Eye/announced today via *his blog*
<http://www.dailygut.com/?i=4696> 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 Gutfield?s *entire post* <http://www.dailygut.com/?i=4696>
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.
My place, however, will have better music?????????
