I would like to confirm if in fact design is oriented to face Mecca if that is in fact true then the Designer is just blowing smoke about this being an misunderstanding and the flight 93 familys need to be brought up to speed

Didn't work did it? Odd that the orientation has it open towards mecca, isn't it? Remarkable coincidence, that...

The architect has offered to replace the crescent with crossed swords over an open Koran.
At this time we need more than ever to be truly inclusive.

Funny how the architect isn't responding to the issue of his memorial's orientation to Mecca. It was all a sick inside joke for the architect and his artist buddies and thank goodness it was stopped before any real work was done.

I think the designer is lying. I don't see how it's possible to "coincidentally" have an Islamic crescent pointed precisely towards Mecca. The odds of that happening unintentionally are staggeringly large.

I'd say this guy has already disqualified himself. And this design is beyond repair.
Start over with someone who, oh, I dunno, maybe actually wants to honor some heroes?

But Flight 93 families are involved with the design, I am sure those selected passed the PC test.

The change he should offer is a new architect.
To: jimbo123
The new design will undoubtedly feature the same red crescent, but with a "Star of Peace" to go with TRoP's crescent...and, if not that, then the "Sickle and Hammer of the Common Man" or some other leftist bull****.

Uh, wrong memorial. This refers to the one in Pennsylvania...and you might agree with those opposed if you followed the story, so please do.

How about a White House with out a second floor?

I think the memorial should be the good ol' American symbol of "The Finger", pointing straight to Mecca, naturally.

I read his post and just ignored it. You called it correctly. Stay on subject if you disagree!
