"Ground Zero mosque spokesman to Gutfeld: Your gay bar won’t build dialogue because it doesn’t consider our sensibilities"

SNIPPET: "He’s got a point. Construction projects that fail to consider local cultural sensitivities aren’t very conducive to dialogue, are they?"

I haven’t followed the topic on FR much. Various children are using the computer most of the time I’m awake, for one thing. And right now, I’m trying to keep DP from cutting Frank’s hair! (Told him I would hate him forever.)

I agree with you, I think, that Christians should be much more willing to say, charitably but firmly, “Because our religion is true and yours is false, actually. Nothing personal.” However, I think Greg Gutfeld is also making a point. One of the angles Islamists like to use is that their culture is moral, while ours is not ... and that is just false.

"One of the angles Islamists like to use is that their culture is moral, while ours is not ... and that is just false."

Right, and that's a very important point.

"However, I think Greg Gutfeld is also making a point."

He's making, at best, morally self-nullifying statement. His great proposal paints the picture that the contest is between the hilarious fun culture of sport-rutting on the one hand, and the grim, morally-stern imams on the other.

No matter how Gutfeld intends it, that's what the idea yields in terms of visual imagery: a carnival of spiritual vacuity, vs. a hell-bent spiritual force.

Both sides are repulsive. But between the two, the grim Muslims are by far the more likely to prevail.

the grim, morally-stern imams on the other

I think that's the error he's trying to correct ... because a lot of those "morally stern" imams are sodomites in real life. However, I could be "reading in," as the saying goes, what I think the gesture is supposed to reveal. I read Mr. Gutfeld's book, and he a bit out there.

Here's the tagline to which I was referring - just to give credit where due. It's not a comprehensive statement, of course, but I think it's an important point. We show too much respect and good manners to evil, not to mention to outright bat-guano craziness. (Bill says "The Comedian" is a comic book character I wouldn't like. Fwiw. I don't like comics anyhow.)

[Mrs. Don-o]

That’s all right!

[Tax-chick]

Frank’s hair was saved.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Yay! Are you going to sell it? :o>

[Tax-chick]

Saved from the mad hair-trimmer, I mean ... still upon his adorable head.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Oh! I thought I could get some relics... (That’s what my Don-o says when he cuts my hair!)

[Tax-chick]

LOL! I have some hairs saved of a couple of children, although not the ones most likely to be canonized.

[Cindy]

You aren’t disagreeing with me.

As I wrote in post no. 1:

True! We’re in agreement here, Cindy. Thanks for the clarification.

[Cindy]

No problem and you’re welcome Mrs. Don-O.
