A Memorial To Murderers? Crescent Of Disgrace!

Is this a memorial to the hijackers, or to the flight 93 victims? What kind of clueless idiot designed this? This is the chosen design for the Memorial for flight 93 that crashed into the Pennsyvania field on September 11, 2001. It was unveiled yesterday in Pennsylvania?

What must the families of the victims think of this travesty? There were a couple of family members interviewed who liked it, but I don’t know if they truly realize the symbolism. A crescent is to a Muslim what a cross is to a Christian. This would be like putting a cross on a holocaust memorial, or a Star of David on an Islamic Memorial. Is this meant somehow to reach out to Muslims? If it is this is the sickest example of political correctness I have ever seen.

They are calling it the “Crescent of Embrace” Who are they embracing, the hijackers and terrorists? How do you think Osama Bin Laden will interpret this? He will see it as many other militant Islamists will as a memorial to Allah and the martyrs who killed the evil infidels on that plane. Is that the message we want to send?

It was Muslims who entered that plane and hi-jacked it in order to murder as many Americans as they could. They were headed for either the White House or the Capitol Building. This memorial should have been a tribute to the brave hero’s who took down that plane. It should not have been a platform to reach out to our enemies.

We are fighting a war for heavens sake. Would we have put swastikas on WWII memorials to reach out to Nazis? I don’t think so. With enough pressure, as we have seen with all the 911 memorials, the families’ wishes always take back seat to other people who want to use the tragedy for their own political purposes.

If the design even remotely resembled a cross there would be howls of protests from the ACLU, but again you will never hear a word from them when it comes to Islamic religious symbols.

We must get the word out that we vigorously oppose this design. Remember the politically correct 911-firefighter flag statue, where they changed the races of the firefighters to be politically correct? That was scrapped after enormous pressure from the public and 911 families. We can do the same thing to the “Crescent of Embrace”

Here is the official website of the Flight 93 National Memorial. Lets all let them know what we think of their Crescent of Disgrace!

Looks good to me.

I'd like to see a statue of brave American's smashing some terrorist face. Put "let's roll" on a plaque underneath it.

Here is my own creation.



Now that would be a fitting tribute!

These people are WHOLLY IGNORANT, certifiably insane, or they are abject appeasors and in league with our enemies. The more I think about it, the very idea is despicable and a disgrace IMHO.

Here's a graphich that shows if for what it is:

I agree with you. I do not believe that crescent design is an accident.Just more liberal appeasement. It should not be tolerated nor permitted to disgrace our heros' memorial.

No freakin' way!!!!!!!!!!

The moon, September 10, 2001 -- it is significant.

If you thought the cresent was either an oversite or just a coinsidence here is proof it is an intentional tribute to Islam.

From ZombieTime "Etaoin Shrdlu" has generated an azimuthal equidistant world map centered on the location of the Flight 93 Memorial which seems to indicate that the crescent is oriented toward Mecca.

What is next, are they going to name whatever memorial is erected in New York "The Osama Bin Laden Memorial Towers?" How about renaming existing memorials to show how we are reaching out to our enemies? Pearl Harbor could be renamed to "Emperor Hirohito Memorial Harbor, or how about "Adolf Hitler Holocaust Museum" and build it in the shape of a swastika? Let’s rename the Viet Nam War memorial “The Ho Chi Minh Wall” The Lincoln Memorial could be renamed for John Wilkes Booth. The Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial should be rebuilt in the shape of a Rider Truck and renamed "The Timothy Mcveigh Memorial".

Yes, these things would be very offensive and would never be tolerated. The "Crescent of Embracing Islam" Should not be tolerated either.

Here is my own Idea For A Memorial.

"Let's Roll, Flight 93 National Memorial" Now that would be a fitting trubute!
