A letter obtained by CNN obtained from Donald Trump confirms his offer to purchase the site at 45 Park Place.

    For all that do not understand why we would not want a mosque at the site of a terriost attack, we understand that not all muslims are the extremist that commited this act, just like all whites arent in the kkk, all blacks arent in a gang, and all mexicans arent illegal. Its the point of the situation, its an association issue, muslims are associated with the extremist that did this, not that there all bad, but to put their shrine at the site of the terriost attacks shouldn't be allowed. They can build it anywhere, just shouldn't do it at this location

    Someone here mentionied that the muslims did not create 9-11 but it was the radical Islam... why is it that not many muslims condemming the radical islams??? The Muslims needs to be more proactive in voicing their disgrace with radical islam so other realigio would not think that they are the same. Wake up muslims.!!!

    Maybe because when they try to voice their disgrace, the rest of the people start thinking that they have started preaching to them and in return we simply get more love and cuddles.. also currently most of us are busy fighting everyday racist and discrimination battles so we can live a normal life again without being judged all the time... most of us are pretty darn awake and just a tad bit sick of the blatant hatred everywhere!
