This makes me sick.
Did you expect something else?
Call your friends. Call radio talk shows. Let's stop this.
Absolutely outrageous!
That's not the type of crescent that it the symbol for Islam, though.
I wouldn't get too worked up about it.
UNBELIEVABLE
Amen!
I'm sorry I doubted you. I had to go visit the site myself. I could not believe that they would choose to slap those dead heroes in the face this way.
OMG. Unbelievable.
I don't think Islam has a patent on the crescent. Should we stop calling New Orleans the Crescent City? Much ado about nothing.
Welcome to Free Republic
How could they do such an insensitive thing in a country where Christian symbols displayed in public are banned. I weep.
I agree.
I adjust my comment a bit. I originally was responding simply to the photo in the shape of the crescent. I see it's official name is supposedly "Crescent of Embrace." I think whoever chose that name should change it, because it's at the least insensitive to victims' families and more likely a PC attempt to "reach out."
Just my $.02.....so what.
Perhaps we can interpret this as a symbolic "middle finger" poked into the eye of Islam. But I wouldn't even care to give it that much thought.
My father was on that flight. And a lot of family members were on the committee in choosing it. I doubt, seriously, that this was in any way trying to appease the Islamofascists...trust me.
Honestly, I think it is a beautiful tribute.

A gesture of surrender.
And the flight 93 families are accepting this OUTRAGE ..??
I'm stunned! I'd bulldoze the place rather than have any symbol of the enemy built over my loved one's grave - this is just disgusting to the max.
Who is the idiot who designed this outrage, and who's the BIGGER IDIOT FOR ALLOWING SUCH A PERSON TO BE CHOSEN - a person obviously toooooo PC and not patriotic.
I'll bet all of Islam is laughing and celebrating at our ignorance of their symbol.
