ORIGINAL: Greta75 FR I get the point of the OP is that, Americans are still Great, donating money to help a Mosque rebuild. But seriously..., to me, they are simply helping to build something that is a threat to them. In my country. Due to respect to Islam and their Mosque. Selling Alcohol is illegal within 200 metres circumferences from the Mosque. That means, if you are a restaurant located within 200 metres from a brand new Mosque being built. It will become illegal for you to serve alcohol in your restaurant. If you are a supermarket or a 7/11 located within that distance. It also becomes illegal for you to sell alcohol. That is how Islam enforce that ridiculous nonsense to non-muslims. It always starts with tiny things. Well for the most part it is illegal to sell alcohol 200 yards from a church, school etc in Texas, and always has been, unless the bar, restaurant, strip club or store was there first. Now, personally, after hearing some of the fire and brimstone sermons in some churches around here, I would think the best place to build a bar is across the street from said church if only because after some of that nonsense (and putting up with those self righteous assholes) you need a good stiff drink... Which is probably why it is illegal to sell spirits on Sunday. Which indicates, at least to me, that it is not just Islam trying to fuck up our beer and booze drinking, but all religions. Which brings up an interesting point.... Maybe the reason they are militant is because they cant get drunk as lords and let their hair down?
