    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
