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 heros 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 dont 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.
BTTT!
Ugly FYI ping
Here's a graphich that shows if for what it is:
Everyone be sure to watch the program special on cable tomorrow night:
Flight 93, The Flight That Fought Back
Presented without commercial interruption

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.
The moon, September 10, 2001 -- it is significant.
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? Lets 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!
