According to a recent Siena Research Institute poll, 50% of New Yorkers think that the "Ground Zero Mosque" will promote racial and religious tolerance. Yet: 68% of Americans oppose it, despite the endorsements of New York City's mayor and the President of the United States of America. But that's not why you're wrong, America. This, however, is.

Via Tumblr editorial director TopherChris, here's a map of just how "Ground Zero" the "Ground Zero Mosque" is:



The point is, it isn't. What's more offensive: Having a....

"Ground Zero Burger King."
Memorial that's never happened because of hyper-capitalist conflicts.
Bunch of tacky souvenir tables.
Bunch of tacky souvenir tables that profit off of cheap, China-made 9-11 memorabilia.
Bunch of tacky souvenir tables that profit off of cheap, China-made 9-11 memorabilia when they're not selling fake Rolexes to the same Americans coming to New York, buying from them, going home, and telling New Yorkers where to put our Mosques.

4. Thank God there is a Christian church in between the mosque and where the twin towers fell!!

The loving God of America's Religion -tm- may be able to shield the evil rays of the mosque that threaten to mock the shadow of where the twin Towers fell and the the day that changed America, too.
