I don't think Islam has a patent on the crescent. Should we stop calling New Orleans the Crescent City? Much ado about nothing.

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."

Why not the "Swastika of Embrace" Holocaust Memorial.
