We must never build ANYTHING in the shape of a semi-circle ever again! Because, as you can clearly see, if you look carefully, a straight line, drawn between an arbitrary part of the edifice and Mecca produces a line straight from the monument to Mecca! OMG! Ok, well it's not really a straight line at all, but whatever.

I fail to see your point. Do you not take the architect at his word when he frankly says that the crescent shape is meant as a symbol of reconciliation with Islam?

If we take the architect at his word, and accept that the crescent shape is a symbol of Islam and meant to promote reconciliation, how do you feel about that?

BTW, please respond to the actual question, respectfully phrased, instead of talking about crescent rolls and baseball stadiums and the like.
