They raised a familiar, well recognized symbol which showed their victory!
The Jihadists are no different. They wish to show their victory in a familiar, well recognized manner.

Many who defend the appropriateness of the mosque’s location will say that opposing what has become known as the “Cordoba House” amounts to Islamophobia or bigotry towards Muslims.
However, a number of proposed Ground Zero structures have yet to be built or, for that matter, rebuilt since the 9/11 attacks. These include the building meant to replace the World Trade Center towers and the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox church, a structure that was crushed as a result of the September 11th attacks.

Whenever this topic comes up, I get the image in my head of the marines planting the U.S. flag atop Iwo Jima. That is what this mosque on the WTC site represents to militant Islam.
Members of the Aspen institute of George Soros fame were behind bother the first attempt at imposing their politically correct revisionist memorial at the site, as well as this current version, ground zero mosque’s Cordoba Foundation/Initiative.
Interesting this building has landing gear from Atta’s plane. Kinda makes it look like a martyr’s shrine, doesn’t it?
