I haven't heard ANY muslim here in America call the proposed mosque a "Victory Mosque".
That term is just Islamophobic hype used by the media to create hatred towards muslims and Islam.
Well, I have seen many varied responses from Muslims here in the US, since the Carter years. That is a good thing. We are all after all Individuals first. We encourage that kind of thing here. I have personally encountered Muslim's hostile to our Culture here, though I admit, that has been extremely rare. I would attribute it, to Human Nature being what it is, rather than Ideology, at least in part. In relation to the Victory Mosque Perspective, you are free to speak for yourself, and those you know, but nobody can speak for the whole, honestly. I had a Rabbi's wife as a customer once that was glad for 9/11. She told me that we had it easy for too long here, and now knew what Israel went through every day. The look on my face pretty much put my perspective in a real Chrystal clear focus. She has not called me back since. I truly don't believe the answer is in control, but education and growth, reform, transformation. The past is to learn from, it is a reminder when we are honest about it, the true path is determined by circumstance, relevance, and guided by conscience, not tradition.

Islamic expert Tawfik Hamid tells Newsmax that many Muslims will view the construction of a mosque near ground zero as symbolizing a “triumph over America.”
He also declares that if the mosque is built it could prove to be the “spark” that begins a “war between civilizations.”
Hamid is well acquainted with the threats from radical Islam — he was once a member of a terrorist Islamic organization along with Dr. Ayman Al-Zawahiri, who later became the second in command of al-Qaida.
