Greg Gutfeld (has his own show on Fox News at, like 3am) wants to open a gay bar . An "Islamic" gay bar, yet. You know, to promote tolerance and cross-cultural understanding. Who could argue against that?  PJ

He grinned at her - a goofy, Clark Kent kind of a grin. "I have a gift for understatement."
"You can say that again," she told him.
"I have a...."
"Oh, shut up."

If this were a serious effort (and properly zoned) and the Islamic community center and mosque opposed it, I would accept that as prima facie evidence that they were acting in bad faith. The wise common law doctrine of unclean hands states that if you are going to accuse someone of wrongdoing (i.e., being intolerant) you'd better not be guilty of the same wrongdoing.  Rac

There's been a lot of chatter about this idea, including some tweeting between Greg Gutfeld and the people behind the Mosque. They told him: You’re free to open whatever you like. If you won’t consider the sensibilities of Muslims, you’re not going to build dialog. And, you know guys, the reverse is also true... to build dialog, don't bulldoze over the sensibilities of New Yorkers. Governor Patterson is supposed to be offering to help the organizers find another location, possibly even on NY state property. PJ

I saw this on Fox Nation but wasn't sure if it was a joke or not. Is this guy really serious? I mean like, really, really serious?

He *says* it's serious. He also said he's working on setting up a way to accept donations toward the project, because apparently a lot of people want to chip in. The most popular name, last I heard, was "Outfidels".  Before that, he was thinking "Heaven and Halel" -- the "heaven" on the second floor would serve 72 virgin cocktails.  Because, you know, Muslims aren't supposed to drink alcohol, and he's all about being sensitive. And hey, if he can get conservative Christians enthused about opening a gay bar... that's some serious bridge building, right there. PJ

Latest update: The bar name is now "Dialog." So Greg Gutfeld is building Dialog.

who just thinks the whole idea is hilarious
