A cemetery in the San Francisco Bay Area has removed a banner draped across a 9/11 memorial that advertised a new Islam ic section after backlash from the community. NBC Bay Area reported that the owner of Memorial Gardens Cemetery said that he recently sold part of the property to a Muslim family, and that 'he gave them permission to put up signage but did not authorize them to drape it over the 9/11 installation.

' The owner reportedly had the signage removed, but community residents said that the sign should not have been erected to begin with. TUNNEL TO TOWERS ANNOUNCES STEEL ACROSS AMERICA TOUR TO MARK 25 YEARS SINCE 9/11 ATTACKS NBC Bay Area reported that Danny Kimmel, a resident of Concord, California, said the banner advertising an Islamic memorial garden draped over the 9/11 memorial was placed in front of the cemetery where his mother was laid to rest. 'I felt a punch to the gut type of thing,' he said, according to the report. 'To see that sign on that memorial is kind of nutty is my thoughts.' Kimmel’s brother was killed in Vietnam, and he said his mother would be totally against the placement of the banner.

Violet Kimmel, Danny Kimmel’s sister-in-law, also shared concerns. 'There’s room for everybody, but just have a little respect where you’re going to put your things.' Fox News Digital reached out to Memorial Gardens Cemetery for comment. THE QUIET WAR: HOW TERROR HAS EVOLVED SINCE SEPT 11 CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APP
