The Crescent is Officially Gone
Remember the controversy over the crescent-shaped Flight 93 Memorial, which I visited a little while back?
The redesign is out, and the crescent is gone.
I’m still less concerned about the crescent shape, which would only be discernable from the air, than I am all the lefty gushy-gooey “healing” nonsense. It’s a war memorial, dedicated to heroes. “Healing” isn’t appropriate.
The official site is here.
Hat tip to LGF.
Alec Rawls:
In the redesign, the red crescent is only blended in with a few more trees. Both of the crescent tips are still defined exactly as before. The crescent bisector still points to Mecca. There is still an upper section of memorial wall, bisected by the red crescent bisector and containing additional translucent blocks. The Tower of Voices is still an Islamic prayer-time sundial. The whole Flight 93 memorial is still a jihadist shrine!
My complete analysis here.
