A case for tolerance towards Muslims, from a British perspective

[Midas Touch]

This was a reader's 'letter to the editor ' published in the British daily "SUN".

Tolerance .. I am truly perplexed that so many of my friends are against another mosque being built in London on the Thames?
I think it should be the goal of every Englishman to be tolerant. Thus the Mosque should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance.
That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque, thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque. We could call one of the clubs, which would be gay, "The Turban Cowboy", and the other a topless bar called "You Mecca Me Hot."

Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork, and adjacent to that an open-pit barbeque pork restaurant, called "Iraq o' Ribs."
Across the street there could be a lingerie store called "Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret ", with sexy mannequins in the window modeling the goods.
Next door to the lingerie shop there would be room for an adult sex toy shop, "Koranal Knowledge", its name in flashing neon lights, and on the other side a liquor store called "Morehammered".
All of this would encourage the Muslims to demonstrate the tolerance they demand of us, so the mosque problem would be solved.
If you agree with promoting tolerance, and you think this is a good plan, please publish my letter.

Makes sense too me.

tolerance is often a one way street.

For this to be a truly urbanized and tolerant society I noticed one thing has been left out.

May I suggest a common gathering place near the mosque with trees, benches, pathways and the beautiful view of the Thames; where you can freely walk your dogs, a park called Poopers Sharias.
