I don't know about a few of those logos you posted but it appear may were don before the US was attacked by mooselimbs.

Just sayin.

I clicked on each link and the page came up “This thread has been pulled”. I then went to your site and links were OK. No other posters had trouble?

I was thinking about this earlier while driving, and have come up with an entirely different interpretation of the new missile defense agency logo. If this interpretation catches on, it will result in almost certain abandonment of the new logo.

IIRC, the star normally represents where Mecca is, or is a directional marker for same. The striped lines going directly to the center of the star obviously represent a missile strike to that which is represented by the star.

Yes crescents have been used as symbols before. That does not mean that radical Islam isn't trying sneak their symbol into the memorial. Islamic crescents are not the same as natural crescents like you would see on the Moon. Islamic crescents are usually a circle within a circle because they want to distinguish their crescents from other crescents.

From Wikipedia:

"Note that in the case of an astronomical crescent, such as the moon observed in the sky, the outer arc will be 180° (a half-circle as previously mentioned), while the Islamic crescent symbol (Arabic هلال hilāl) is often shown with an outer arc significantly greater than 180°"

Crescent


When a person is facing into a crescent in a mosque, they are looking in the direction of Mecca. The same is true of the memorial crescent. It is aligned with Mecca.

You can call it griping if you want to but Obama and his kind are using Islamic crescents as their logos. To them it is a victory to sneak their symbolism into our government. Just like the mosque they want to build at Ground Zero is meant to be a symbol of their victory there.

Do a search for "stylized Islamic crescent"

Let me get this straight: You’re commenting in September about a post I made in February, even though you didn’t even sign up until April? Really? Get a grip...
