Because of the you "mecca me hot" joke?
The kind of middle-class mentality which actuates both those responsible for strategy and government has little knowledge of the new psychology and organizing ability of the totalitarian States. The forces we are fighting are governed neither by the old strategy nor follow the old tactics.

It's just real-life trolling. Let's stick a Muslim gay bar beside Glenn Beck's home and see how he reacts.

Nah, that's not extreme enough. Let's make it a gay Muslim bar that aborts babies from WASP families. *nods*

Move it to Forum 7 and turn it into a thread for coming up with hilarious wordplays for Muslim-themed gay bars.

In conversation with Glenn Beck, Gutfeld described his vision for the multi-level business. The first floor would be a restaurant that featured foods allowed to followers of muslim dietary laws. The second floor would be the bar, where 72 Virgin Drinks would be served. Gutfield is considering a third floor for friends of muslims and muslims that consider breaking the alcohol taboo.

Don't see why not, to be honest.



Because it is in very poor taste. The Mosque is not being built with the aim of poking fun at 9/11, while the bar clearly only exists to ridicule Muslims. Such ideas are repugnant.

Poor taste should not be illegal.


I agree. I did not say anything about stopping them. I just say it shouldn't be done.

True. And I'll be surprised if this gets past the talking stage. It seems to be just a talk-radio version of Internet Tough Guy behavior.


This, right here, is exactly right.

You gotta love jokes, I already hated the idea of the mosque near Ground Zero. I do find it funny that a Conservative would go this far into the joke.

If it caters only to Muslims then it could be penalised on grounds for discrimination, as some people besides other Muslims may like the main ethnicities associated with the Islamic faith.

It can cater to Muslims. What you mean is that it can't serve only Muslims.

I haven't heard that it's only for muslims, but that it's to be "gay muslim friendly".

Muslims troll by building Mosque near GZ, Fox News guys trolls by building gay bar near Mosque... Just to make the muslims in the Mosque mad, I would do this. I guess this makes me a RL troll.

I very much doubt the reason you stated is the motive behind this thread. I think it has more to do with him being indignant about a Muslin gay bar near ground zero than any show of tolerance on his part. This is, after all, a Yugi thread.

It could also be a troll thread. Who knows.
