PA 9/11 Memorial Honors Hijackers

The memorial, now called, The Flight 93 Memorial, was originally called The Crescent/Bowl of Embrace.

Embrace of what? Embrace of Islam, it seems.

This is a travesty even worse than The AZ 9/11 Memorial, (which is going ahead as planned, by the way), in that the Crescent memorial, which faces Mecca, has all the features of a giant Mosque. It’s like putting out a prayer rug/welcoming mat for terrorists to come and gloat.

And their gloating would be justified if this monstrosity is allowed to proceed. Which, apparently, it is. The final Memorial Project Planning Meeting was held last month in Somerset, PA, where the final plans were approved.

Alec Rawls, from Error Theory had been trying for a year and a half to bring this obscene travesty to the attention of the planning committee, and to the media. Here’s what happened at the final meeting:

Again and again I said to Mr. Baird (a flight 93 Memorial advisory member) that the public needed to know about the the simple geometric facts I was pointing out, to let people decide for themselves if they were okay with a geometric replica of the central feature of a mosque being used as the central feature of the Flight 93 Memorial, whether this was by coincidence or not. Would the American people be okay with the 9/11 date being placed as the star on an Islamic crescent and star flag, even if it were by coincidence? This is for them to answer, and Baird agreed. But then he would come back to why he didn’t think it really mattered, why all of this could be seen simply as less than newsworthy, rather than as a matter of suppression of crucial facts. To Baird it all came back to intent. If I can’t prove intent, then according to Mr. Baird, he is not concerned, meaning he does not consider it an issue that needs to be brought out.

Other commission members at the meeting said similar and even stranger things. As one of my compatriots was walking a reverend on the Commission through our graphical displays, the reverend said: “But so what if these are mosque features? If visitors are unaware, what difference does it make?” A lawyer on the Commission told another of my compatriots why he thought that the almost exact Mecca orientation of the giant crescent had to be a coincidence. He claimed that it couldn’t have been intended to honor Islam because the in-exactness of the the Mecca-orientation would be “disrespectful” to Islam.

Never mind the fact that a Muslim crescent doesn’t have to exactly point to Mecca.

What is it with liberals that they can’t see the inappropriateness of this?

Rawls has written a book entitled, Crescent Of Betrayal, to be published later this year. His publishing company has allowed him to put his final draft online until Sept. 1, in order to get the word out.

It appears, it might be too late.
