Yep, you're right. Personally I doubt that whoever designed this was so twisted they intentionally meant this as an insult to the victims of 9/11. But it is certainly in highly questionable taste to include a memorial feature that can be interpreted as an Islamic symbol - even if that crescent would actually look pretty impressive.

Do we have to ban crescents? No, of course not. But including them in 9/11 memorials seems dumb and insensitive. Personally, I'd leave it up to the families to decide.

This map shows crescent's orientation in relation to Mecca. Do you still think the Islamic symbolism is unintentional?
