| Flight 93 Memorial will honor Jihad |
| 2005-09-09 |
| This page [http://www.zombietime.com/flight_93_memorial_project/] is about the controversy surrounding the design of the Flight 93 Memorial Project. As already pointed out at Real Clear Politics and Little Green Footballs, the winning design chosen to memorialize the heroes and victims of 9/11's Flight 93 is in the shape of a red crescent that looks -- either accidentally or intentionally -- remarkably like an Islamic crescent. To prove this point, I have taken a high-resolution map of the winning design (a pdf of which can be downloaded at this site (alt-click or option-click to download the pdf file); and a prototypical rendition of the Islamic crescent moon (taken from the Tunisian flag, the original image of which can be found at this site). Within a short time, the cyber Jihadis will publish triumphalist calls for more suicide bombers using the work of the clueless bozos on this memorial project. But zombie has given some links to get a message to a supervisor bunch of bozos |

| #8 I also pointed out the similarity on the Flight 93 memorial website and urged them to sack the design team and begin again. |

| #7 I'm more inclined to give the families the benefit of the doubt. Most Americans don't know or care about the symbols of Islam and this only becomes reasily apparent from an aerial view. That said, perhaps the should have an unbroken circle instead of an embracing crescent. |

| #1 WTF? Can it be more obvious? Luckily the islamist cresent will be made of wood and not stone. A little midnight Minute Man action would be appropriate. |
