Who says we're not tolerant of Muslims and their religious beliefs?
To show just how tolerant Americans are, this enterprising fellow is going to build a gay bar near the Ground Zero "Park 51" mosque New Yorkers just approved.
Bravo to him, I say, as he explains in this excerpt,
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.Brilliant.
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.

Please let this happen. Please!!
I already read the update, so my comment is perhaps different from what it would have been before the predictable reaction, which was what my comment would have been.
In other words: tolerance is a swinging door, which often swats us in the backside.
It appears that our earnest tolerance is mostly unappreciated.
