Because the Muslim population of that mosque predates the building of the World Trade Center. There are other mosques near WTC site. Because these Americans live and work and pray in their neighborhood, a neighborhood that was blown to bits by terrorists on 9-11. Because they've been in that location forever - which nobody cared about until the right wing whackjobs decided to scream DEATH TO AMERICA OHMYGAWD THE EVIL MUSLIMS - and they simply want to update and expand a building that is already an integral part of the community. They are already there, and have been there.
