Cheeky or what? Gay bar next to Ground Zero mosque

In My Humble Opinion
1

Story here.

Gave me a chuckle.

It’s a joke. If it were real I’d say go for it, but it’s just another guy being a jerk on Fox. (And Fox is covering itself in the process - there’s a stunner.) And come to think of it isn’t that area sacred ground? How can they build a gay bar on that?

The Allahu Ak Bar? Okay, mebbe not.

4

Priceless. :smiley:

5

I was going to suggest Mo’s, but you win.

6

I think Ak-Bar is great. The tag-line could be, “It’s a trap!”

How about Fistambul? Or Swish-Tar?

7

There’s a gay bar in LA called Akbar, but I don’t think it’s near a mosque. It’s Middle Eastern themed, though. Does that count?

8

Can I just say how surreal it is to see Right-wingers cheering the proposed building of a gay bar?

As supportive as I am about some Muslims building a cultural center near ground zero, I have to admit this is an interesting thought experiment.

Perhaps the way to handle it is similar to how highway commissions have handled it when the KKK have wanted to ‘tend’ stretches of highway - “This piece of highway is maintained by the Ku Klux Klan” - rename the piece of road to Martin Luther King Memorial Highway.

If the street they want to build the cultural center on was renamed 'Honorary Golda Meir Avenue," would they still want to build it?

Is “Fruit of Islam” taken?

There’s already a Golda Meir Square further uptown. The author of the page points out that there are usually halal cart vendors nearby. In any case, if the group behind the 51Park building is the tolerant kind of organization they say they are, I don’t see why they would care.

Cool. Let’s put one next to Fox headquarters, too!

(Dang, can’t think of a good name for that one, though. “Undercovers”? “The ‘I’m Just Doing Research’ Bar”? “Hypocrites”?)

12

The Back Door.

13

Fox and Friends?

14

Flaming Mo’s.

15

Ilikkum Salami

Fat Twaht

Hummer d’ Allah

I don’t think gay guys want to go in there. For a certain type of lesbian bar, maybe.

17

Applause.

18

Faux Nudes.

The answer is the same: if they don’t like having it next door, tough. The Muslims have the same right to build their cultural center as the guy does to build his gay bar.

Probably they would. The people involved with the mosque are committed to multcultural understanding.
