It seems kind of tasteless to build a mosque next to ground zero in the first place. I can't really see any self respecting Muslim wanting to go there.

Why? Muslims weren't responsible for what happened, crazy idiots were. Maybe they want to pay respect to the many Muslims that died that day too.

On topic, the gay bar thing seems silly and redundent, nigh on all religions don't like gay people, this includes the dominant religion of those watching Fox probably.


I understand that, I guess I may not be able to relate from a theist point of view as I'm an atheist.

But relating to it from an atheist point of view, it would be like me distancing myself from Chairman Mao. We're both atheists, but I don't share his extremist views on religion and I would actively distance myself from them. Even if that meant not overtly showing my atheism to Chinese people from the Mao generation whose lives would have been negatively affected by the governments lack of tolerance towards religious leaders.
