To get a sense of where Keller is coming from, consider his project's website, which calls Islam a religion of "hate and death" whose adherents will go to hell. It also says: "Islam is a wonderful religion... for PEDOPHILES!"
Keller is the same pastor who hosted a birther infomercial that encouraged viewers to send him and a partner donations to advance the birther cause. His Internet ministry explicitly calls President Obama the new Hitler. He calls homosexuality a perversion. And in 2008, he targeted presidential contender Mitt Romney for being Mormon with a campaign called "voting for Satan."

I guess we'll see how consistent the proponents of a 'zone of tolerance' around GZ are.

Can we start feeding them to lions again?

Good. I hope a shitload of radical right wing christian conservatives show up and a bunch of overly militant muslims show up, a big fight break out and they kill eachother in a bloody massacre.

These are the people we should be locking up in cages and making them fight to death for a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich and a chance to live for another day live on payperview while the proceeds go to paying for public healthcare.

Can we get past all these stupid distractions and actually do something about things that matter? Like, you know, our economy?

Oh for sake...

Keep it classy, Christians.

Agreed. the patriotic americans demonstrating their 1st amendment rights to protest, and the people who are standing up for religious freedom.

That's a laugh riot, coming from a priest.

No different than the Muslim center for me. If they can afford the land and build and run stuff in accordance with local zoning and other laws, more power to them.

We have freedom of speech, expression/assembly and religion in this country so no reason to block any groups from building centers any place they can do so in accordance with local laws.
