Islamophobes see an upside in the "Victory Mosque."

Why would an Islamophobe ( in the classical sense of one who fears --not hates—Islam and Islamists ) see an upside to the Ground Zero Mosque being built?
It is clear from the history of the land acquisition that there was a deliberate effort to get a site as close as possible to Ground Zero and, in their own correspondence (until it became politically incorrect) the sponsors referred to the project as the Ground Zero Mosque. They also named it Cordoba House ( again withdrawn for political correctness, but not until the Muslim world and others were made aware of the name --and its connotations.)
Thus, it is clear that Muslims outside the U.S. will regard the Ground Zero Mosque as an example of Islamist triumphalism, in keeping with the story of Cordoba and the Muslim tradition of building “victory mosques” on conquered territory in as public a manner as possible. For non-American Muslims, there is not the slightest consideration of sensitivity or priority.
With respect to American Muslims, however, it is a different story. For those American Muslims who wish to assimilate as Americans, with that identity trumping everything else, a decent respect for the opinions of others, as well as a commonsensical wish to avoid any appearance of impropriety and possibly create a backlash, would cause them to oppose the placing of the Mosque in the proposed location. For those American Muslims who trumpet the irrelevant need for "religious freedom", and support the thumb-in-the-eye placement, it is clear that their identity as members of the Ummah trump their identification and allegiance as Americans.
Obama has often proclaimed that America is not at war with Islam. Islam, however, is surely at war with America (indeed, Western Civilization) and Islamists do not doubt this. It is Americans’ awareness of our enemies that is wanting. This is why Islamophobes see benefits in the building of this victory mosque, especially in the face of public opposition. It will serve as a constant reminder to Americans of the association between 9-11 (and, indeed, the World Trade Center attack in 1994) and those who perpetrated this atrocity. The saliency of the 15-story Mosque will provide a virtual big red arrow pointed at Ground Zero to say "we did this." The proximity will similarly serve as a big red arrow from Ground Zero pointing at "those who did this."
The issue of support or opposition on the part of American Muslims, will serve as a simple differentiation between two groups. There are those who wish to assimilate and be Americans first and foremost, with American (indeed, Judeo-Christian) values paramount. These will be seen as opposed to those Muslims for whom Sharia, Islam, the hope for a Caliphate and the wish to transform (i.e. conquer ) America is salient. It's clear and easy to distinguish between the two kinds of Muslims. While we know that not all Muslims are terrorists, it is the case that almost all terrorists are Muslims. There is the further situation that non-terrorist Muslims have the opportunity to oppose those who are, to speak out against them clearly and specifically, and cooperate with American authorities to root out them out.. To a great extent, most American Muslims have not done so. There are a lot of Muslims who are radical Islamists but even more other Muslims who are supportive either by contribution of resources, apologies, or by silence.

Since the Victory Mosque will probably be Sunni in affiliation, it might also be the case that Shia terrorists will destroy it before too many years elapse. Nevertheless, it will last long enough for the lesson of Islam-in-America to be made forcefully, not least when this era of extraordinary Islamophilia by the leftists in power has passed.
