Wrong ... there is an existing Muslim community there and they have the right as Americans and tax payers to have a place to worship. Your phrase "they don't need it, they want it" was pulled from your @rse ... how could you prove that. It was degned to protray Muslims in a hateful light as though they are TRYING to rub people's face in 9/11. Again luckily this negative and hateful view is in the minority.
"Maybe idiots like the terrorist will decide to bomb that too?"
I wouldn't put that pass them. The majority of deaths in Iraq are from terrorist attacking Muslims. This isn't a reason to stop honest Muslimsin NY from being allowed a place to pray. Denying them that would be like blaming them for 9/11.

Well that is the thing, if people are already protesting then it already has hurt, and you are making out like that minority is about 9 or something. There are already a good few mosques in Manhattan, so they don't really need it, they do want it. It's not like the muslim community there have to pray in the street is it? It's not about rubbing peoples faces in 9/11, I just don't see the need for it to be right then when it is upsetting people, that is all. 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.
