Do we put swastika's on memorials for soldiers who have died in World War II?

Apples and oranges.

So everything that has a cresent shape to it should be banned?

These people are in serious need of Freud's famous admonition regarding dream imagery: "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."

No, but it sure is inappropriate and insulting to the people who love those who have fallen. And by the way, that was a good comparison. There are few differences between Muslims and nazi's - perhaps that the latter are more moderate.

"Apples and oranges."

How so? were these people, although civilians, not fighting a
war in every sense of the word just as WWII vets? I think this is not apples and oranges, but an apt comparison. Sure, there may be other uses for the crecent symbol, but in this case it is more than bad taste, It is an Islamic symbol, and it is a slap in the face of every American. Now go eat yer croissant.
