Nobody is stopping them from having a place to pray or blaming them, it's a shame that the idiots gave a bad names to Muslims in general and make people think like that, but building it in that spot won't help matters for the muslim community at all.

"There are already a good few mosques in Manhattan, so they don't really need it, they do want it"
I don't believe your know exactly how many Mosques Manhattan has nor that your an expert on there placement, nor do I think your a demographer with a specialty on the the Muslim population numbers in NY. This argument (above) works onlt if all these things are true.... otherwise your just pulling facts from the air. THEY can decide if the NEED a new Mosque.... your implication that they don't actually NEED a mosque is based on nothing. Who are you to say what they need.
"but building it in that spot won't help matters for the muslim community at all"
Their choice. And it will help matters. It's the US saying to the Muslim community "we don't blame you".
