Okay, so I checked with some friends in NYC who know the neighborhood, and they say that there are no mosques as such, just a Masjid (basically a community center which hosts Friday prayers) and one other assembly place.
But these are all red herrings which don't change the simple fact that this not the time or place to build a mosque.
They will build it anyway, showing the same sensitivity other Islamic congregations showed by building the Dome of the Rock and Al Aqsa mosques in Jerusalem. It is, after all, their right.
