In 2007, Flight 93 Advisory Commission member Tim Baird told me that everyone at the meetings he attended is fully aware that the giant crescent, originally named the Crescent of Embrace, really does point almost exactly at Mecca. Professor Baird says they all just assume (himself included) that the Mecca orientation must be an innocent coincidence.
Pretty crazy, when they have also been told the meaning of a crescent that Muslims face into to face Mecca. Every mosque is built around a Mecca-direction indicator called a mihrab, and the classic mihrab is crescent shaped. Geometrically, the Crescent of Embrace is the world’s largest mihrab.
However honestly Project Partners believe that the Mecca orientation of the crescent must be a coincidence, this is not what they tell the public. When reporters asked Memorial Project Superintendent Joanne Hanley about the Mecca orientation, she denied it:
"The only thing that orients the memorial is the crash site," she said.
Thinking that the Mecca orientation of the crescent must be a coincidence in no way justifies lying to the public about this explosive information. If Baird’s account is accurate—that the dozens of Memorial Project Partners all know that the giant crescent actually does point to Mecca—then the Memorial Project has a lot of explaining to do. Now an overlooked article from 2007 corroborates Professor Baird’s information.
Dr. Glenn Kashurba
It turns out that a Pennsylvania psychiatrist who has been intimately involved with the memorialization of Flight 93 (writing two books on the subject) argued to a reporter before the July 2007 Memorial Project meeting that the Mecca-orientation of the giant crescent (which he took as a given) should be seen as coincidental:
“When you calculate angles to Mecca - I'm going to be in Washington, D.C., this week, and I'm sure if I calculate angles of the monuments, at least one points to Mecca,” Kashurba said. “I don't know if it will be the White House or the Lincoln Memorial, but at least one will. People looking for a way to support their way of looking at things will look at this in this way for ever and ever.”
If Dr. Kashurba was getting his information from the Memorial Project’s public statements, he would have denied that the crescent points to Mecca. Here is what Memorial Project Partner Patrick White told the press 9 days before the Kashurba story:

Are we just insane??? Who would turn this over to people that would insist on making it a crescent? Don’t we see the American people have no guts anymore? What the hell is going on here?
Everyone, except our “betters”...
I agree. It’s just incomprehensible.
Islam is a satanic , murderous cult. The hijackers should be dishonored as the sub-humans they were, rather than having their “religion” memorialized.
Some Russians pranksters blew a hole in the rump of Lenin’s statue in St. Petersburg a little while back. No arrests were made.
This “monument” is just crying out for the same kind of prank.
Not advocating any vandalism.
Just sayin’ ...
Anyone planning on doing that and needing an alibi can e-mailme.
It would be nicer if it “coincedentally” were a cross pointing to Pearl Harbor or the WTC or Todd Beamers grave.
This was brought up many moons ago (pun and insult intended) but nothing happened, now maybe it’ll get some traction.
Other than our military, I don’t know what happened to Americans that used to stand up to this sort of thing and push back.
get that f####n thing off our soil. Its their ambassadors of peace and good will who brought that cowardly act upon us.
So it’s a memorial to the dead muzlim terrorists on board flight 93...
Actually, I am of the opinion that this memorial should never be built, period. There should not even be a marker at that site. Turn it back over to farmland. Do what the Amish did with their little schoolhouse.
Who the frak designed this anyhow?
It should be nuked from space-just to be sure!
I never will understand what possessed anyone to propose such a hurtful and willfully abusive design.
But you know... the more I think about it... maybe a giant muslim scar on the land says just the right thing. What has islam proven to be, time and time again... that it is little more than a great scar on the land.
Hmmm...
Maybe a tea party like thing.
