It's not against the law, and it shouldn't be stopped by anyone. But it does have issues. Big ones! The owner does/should know about these obvious issues and being a "peaceful religious people" should just not build there on their own free will. The fact that they are makes me think that they are doing this on purpose! So, yes, it's a slap in the face.

If you think a 'cultural center' a block or so away is offensive, how do you like the memorial to the flight 93 hijackers they are going for, directly on the crash site? A crescent of embrace they wanted to call it. You know, a non-offensive name like the Cordoba initiative.

MONDAY'S GREGALOGUE: MY NEW GAY BAR
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.
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.
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.
Bottom line: I hope that the mosque owners will be as open to the bar, as I am to the new mosque. After all, the belief driving them to open up their center near Ground Zero, is no different than mine.
My place, however, will have better music.

There are a LOT of closet gays in the mulsim middle eastern nation. Of course they officially don't like t3h homersexuality, but in some countries, it "doesn't count" unless the other dude is over n years old (13, 20, 30, whatever).

woops, I accidentally hit yes it does bother me instead of no it doesnt bother me
I dont think its a smart idea because so many people will take offense to it (when they shouldnt imo) and will most likely attempt to vandalize it in some way; but it IS a free country for more than just Christians and should be treated as such...
Banning this is blatant racial and religious discrimination, and there's no arguing that it isn't.
Thatd be like the Japanese banning churches in hiroshima or nagasaki because it was Christians that bombed the cities...
