Thats because these “moderate muslims” intent to celebrate their success on 9/11.

Exactly; this is a holy site of conquest, not just any piece of real estate. The mosque facility will be huge and able to house the many thousands of muzzie pilgrims who will come to NY to pay tribute to their "great victory."

What is the purpose of building a temple in a place where there are no residents, other than as a symbol?

If someone had told me on Sept.12, 2001 that ten years hence, the World Trade Center site would still be a vacant lot, while just down the street a shining new Mosque stood as a symbol of Islamic triumph, I would have thought them mad.
