I just spoke to a young man at the Office of the Superintendent of the Flight 93 National Memorial. (814) 443-4557.
There have been several threads here at FR regarding the proposed Islam Crescent at the memorial. Like the rest of you, I am appalled that such a symbol would even be considered.
I decided to do something about it. Sunday evening I faxed my objection to them in writing. It was a one page fax, and was a page printed from FR which showed the Crescent. Beside the picture I wrote my name, phone etc, and voiced my objections. The fax number is 814-443-2180.
This morning I called and spoke to the man who answered the phone. He was very professional, I was polite. I gave him my name, and then spelled it to make sure he got it right. I then said Im called to voice my objection to the use of the Islamic Crescent at the Flight 93 Memorial He replied that he would make note of it and make sure that it was passed along. He then asked if there was anything more that I wanted to say. (Note to callers: RESISIT the urge to unload at this point, doing so will negate the effectiveness of your call) I said I was appalled that anyone would even consider that symbol at the memorial. I continued to say that the people responsible should be fired. He said he would pass that along also.
He then asked me for my phone number, which I gave.
Will our calls make a difference? I dont know, but I knew NOT calling isnt going to change things.
Prepare to be outraged. Not only is it a crescent, it's aligned to point towards Mecca, which is one too many coincidences. here is the FR thread, and here is an independent check by the author of the Belmont Club blog
It's not only a crescent, it's oriented to point towards Mecca. See my earlier post this thread
BS, and I mean that. Don't mess with me or my flag.

If the Islamic crescent becomes recognized as a symbol of Islamic terrorism, like the swastika became a symbol of Nazi Germany, it will be you that wants to change it.
He was referring to the monument and using the SC Flag as an example (a stupid example) of other crescent uses. The SC flag is not an Islamic symbol, the monument clearly is.
He will lose in the court of public opinion.
Chris,
The crescent is oriented to point to Mecca. When you enter the crescent and kneel to pray, you will be praying in the direction of Mecca.
If that is not the intention, then I challenge them to reorient the direction of the monument by at least 20°.
See what they say...They'll have a million excuses for why it cannot be done...
I KNOW what they're talking about, Dixie. They're arguing just for the sake of arguing. I guess some people don't get enough of that at home or work. LOL! And some others just love to sound off even if it doesn't make sense. I was trying to point out that it doesn't make sense to use your state symbol as an example.
I think you are wrong about the removal of crescents everywhere. The significant factor is the orientation of the crescent. The SC flag's orientation is at a 45° angle, which essentially points down into the earth.
It just depends on whether the crescent becomes identified with Islamism, and how deep we get into this terrorism thing. With Iran beginning to build nukes, it might get really deep.
Then again, maybe it won't be a big deal.
Except for this Flight 93 thing. The Islamists are already touting this as a victory. That can't stand.
I read that, but still, the obvious symbol is there.
It can be arranged another way. I totally agree that it should be changed.
