PITTSBURGH Nov 30, 2005 — Designers of a Flight 93 memorial have made a bowl-shaped piece of land its centerpiece, replacing a crescent-shape design that some critics had said was a symbol honoring terrorists, officials announced Wednesday.
The new design for the memorial, to be built on the site of the Sept. 11, 2001, crash near Shanksville, features most of the details of the original, which was unveiled in September after a worldwide design competition.
But a round, bowl-shaped area would replace a "Crescent of Embrace," a crescent-shaped cluster of maple trees.

Don't be fooled by this. Check out the post on LGF.
Yup. Here's the link:

According to that post, the blocks to represent the dead include the terrorists.
Amazing.
The crescent is not gone. And the designer added 4 memorial stones to recognize the 4 dead hijackers. This is an outrage.
Why is the left so eager to kiss the asses of people who would so gladly cut their beating hearts out of their chests?

Exposure is a wonderful things.
Now, about that re-design?
From LGF:
The redesigned flight 93 memorial, announced today, still contains all of the features that made it a terrorist memorial. Architect Paul Murdoch’s infamous red crescent is still there, still planted with red maple trees, still inscribed in the exact same circle as before, and with the same two crescent tips still intact. Thus the crescent bisector defined by these crescent tips is also the same as before. It still points almost exactly to Mecca, making the crescent a Mihrab (an Islamic prayer station, where the believer faces into a crescent, towards Mecca, to perform his ritual prostrations). The design still incorporates a separate upper terrorist-memorial wall, centered precisely on the red-maple crescent. There are still 44 translucent blocks on the flight path to the crash site, matching the total number of dead, instead of just the forty translucent blocks that are dedicated to the forty murdered Americans. Lastly, the Tower of Voices part of the memorial is still an Islamic prayer-time sundial.
Masybe they're members of Ra's Al-Ghul's League of Shadows. America is the new Byzantium, you know.
Am I the only one who has a problem with "memorials?" The most honorable tribute would be to build more bombs and drop them on enemy locations in Iraq, Syria, Iran and Afghanistan. The Great Oz has spoken.......
Bump
Flight 93 Memorial Still an Islamofascist Shrine
Earlier today, mainstream media (aka the New York Times and Associated Press) told us that the Flight 93 “Crescent of Embrace” memorial had been (grudgingly) redesigned to remove its incredibly offensive inclusion of the religious symbol of the 9/11 hijackers.

Color me shocked; elitest "artist" and company revel in putting one over on us proles. And how proud he must be of his "inclusive" move, using 44 translucent blocks to count the terrorists among the victims. Thank goodness for the internet. We'll get the word out, even if the MSM won't. Information on who runs this memorial site here.
Deserves to be said again:
"...using 44 translucent blocks to count the terrorists among the victims..."

What the hell are they thinking?
Oh that's great. The jackass that designed this thing needs to be fired.
I had a look at the architect's website. It seems to be a cross between the Age of Aquarius and Earth in the Balance.

I wonder how hard it would be to modify those 4 blocks and build an outhouse around them?
Hey - and then he could have 4 crescent moons!
