Did I miss something? I went to the link but no pic?
Looks like it to me, right down to the fact that standing inside faces Mecca. But I must just be an islamophobe
The design is a semi-circle, not a crescent but learning of the mention of the hijackers just got me going back to the NPS to lodge my compaint.
I went through this crescent thing last week and linked to other memmorials that use the broken circle theme of a semi-circle. Compare the Muslim crescent I showed in a post up from this one.

from a fox news article
"A more obvious tribute to the terrorists is hard to imagine," reads the ad, which will be published in the Somerset Daily American and was provided in advance to FoxNews.com. "It is not surprising, then, that the giant crescent would turn out to point to Mecca, and be the centerpiece for the world's largest mosque."...
"All they did was disguise it, nothing's changed," Rawls said, referring to the alterations that have been made to the design, including changing the title of Crescent of Embrace to Circle of Embrace, since the objections were initially raised. link
What is the source for the four glass blocks remembering the jihad highjackers? the article mentions this once and does not follow up.
until I see a solid source I won’t believe it.
Who keeps coming up with this crap??? Blocks to honor the hijackers??? Now I’ve heard everything!! God help us!
The I think they should cancel the whole idea of a memorial rather than run the risk of some part of it possibly suggesting something related to Islam by any individual whatsoever. Nip any possible chance of Islamic glorification right in the bud.
