A Muslim and a Gay Guy Walk Into a Bar
“Red Eye“‘s Greg Gutfeld announced this morning that he plans to open a gay bar that caters to Muslim men next to the mosque that is planned at the 9/11 Ground Zero site.
Are they the same person? “Red Eye“‘s Greg Gutfeld announced this morning that he plans to open a gay bar — that caters to Muslim men — next to the mosque that is planned at the 9/11 Ground Zero site. Mediaite says he’s serious, citing his blog post:
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….
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.
Of course, this doesn’t make any sense since homosexuality is also forbidden by the faith. Not sure about dancing.

Great idea, Greg. I was thinking a pork rendering plant, myself. And a Jewish Deli across the street with a topless bar next to it.

One more: A topless Jewish Deli! Wait . . . . not THAT kind of Jewish deli - one with beautiful women! Yikes, almost had a bad picture stuck in my my brain.

Hmm now, there is one sure fire way to send a message to Cordoba House: right next door to the House, set up a R & R facility for servicemen on leave from the Mideast, so when the servicemen make eye contact with Cordoba House members, boy will the sparks fly!
The more I think about it, the better it sounds, Cordoba House members will end up having to walk on eggs through the neighborhood.

A splendid idea. I believe there would be an awakening of the homosexual Muslims in NY like never before. A topless club nearby would be icing on the cake...are they allowed to eat cake?

Greg,
Please ensure that your gay bar serves bar-be-que pork sandwiches as well. All that dancing will enduce hunger.
Michael| 8.10.10 @ 8:56PM
Good idea, and funny!
Seems fitting to put ass-humping queers and camel-humping Arabs under the same roof. And I like the idea of pork sandwiches.
Let's drive these worthless people out of the city.

Next to the gay bar we open a restaurant.
Pork rinds, pulled pork sandwiches, brauts and beer. Served by hot women in bikinis.
call it the "Allah u Snack-bar"

How long before such behavior, independent of any related criminal conduct, is ruled itself a crime in NY?
Chris| 8.11.10 @ 8:12AM
The real crime to New York and America was Re-electing Bloomberg as Mayor! Will he, as a Jew be allowed to attend their services and Prayer Meetings with or without the swords?

He is brave.
No one has yet pointed out if publishing a cartoon in harmless little Denmark is verboten, then Gutfeld's life expectancy will almost certainly be diminished if he goes ahead with the bar,
though
"police K-9 facility. Lots and lots of barking dogs" might be an indirect one. Even Rushdie got a Fatwa on him for merely publishing a book.
Fools go where angels fear...
Alan Brooks| 8.11.10 @ 8:23AM
that is to say, if Gutfeld isn't red eyed now, he will be later;
and that is no joke.
edgard| 8.11.10 @ 9:12AM
I have 2 ideas to rid New York
( and any other tentative building sites:
1. Dump a truckload of Pig fat(lard) at the building site.
2. If this fails, find and recruit, a cancer or aids or any other terminal disease ridled pilot. Then try to commandeer/ hi-jack, any mid eastern plane and have the sick pilot fly it into the mosk
(ala JACK RUBY) and VOILA:
a new"GROUND ZERO II

Maybe I'm wrong about Gutfeld's life expectancy, perhaps he's got one hell of a good set of bodyguards.
