Ahhh, Sacred Ground......................

[kpete]

Welcome to the New York Dolls strip club, about a block from the proposed site of the Cordoba House Islamic cultural center.

AND NOW THIS:

Breaking: Halal food carts spotted ON Ground Zero!

A reader writes in to sound the alarm about another sacrilege that we've all somehow overlooked:

One thing I haven't seen anyone write about is the presence of Muslim food carts MUCH closer to Ground Zero. There are at least two, depending on the time of day, along West Broadway between Vesey and Park Place. One is practically on top of the Ground Zero construction site, outside the Path station. Aren't they an "affront," a "provocation"? Muslims engaging in in-your-face commerce on sacred ground, with the word HALAL prominently displayed on their carts! Where's Palin when we need her??

1. Bet it was even hit by the ashes containing some of the victims remains....

Close it down IMMEDIATELY. Sacrilege.

And what the hell are we to do about those people who may have inhaled some of those ashes!!!????

2. I don't know what's wrong wit folks...

Park51 will reclaim Park Place's rightful spot on the Monopoly board BY BEING TOTALLY COOL AND RAISING PROPERTY VALUES!!!

Haaretz is reporting a backdown. I hope they have it wrong.

3. Sir, I protest. The NY Dolls Club exists to display the genius of the creator's handiwork..

...and the divine providence that brought forth cosmetic surgery.

4. Ground Zero is only sacred ground if you belong to a sick death cult.

But we ARE talking about Republicans, so.....

Never mind.

[Curmudgeoness]

5. Cool, a strip joint. We could get the upper hand on this brohaha

by being the party who protests this one. I want to sit back and watch the Reps try to turn that one on us.

:popcorn:

6. Yes, there are strip clubs and bars near Ground Zero. And if the Muslims ever take over,

there won't be strip clubs or bars anywhere. For what it's worth. :shrug:

7. Hey, Palin could open a mooseburger cart and put those Muslims out of business

using the holy sacred principles of American capitalism! Also too, it might be her best money-making option when even her most die-hard fans get sick and tired of reading her twitter-twaddle.

8. Was the strip club built

after 9-11?

9. Would that make a difference? nt

10. Why the opponents of the Islamic center did not mention the strip club.

If they're concerned about sacrilege, why they ignored the strip club?

11. Don't you mean "Scared Ground"?
