9/11 Memorials Being Hijacked by Terrorist Sympathizers

You may recall that leftist groups have been attempting to usurp memorials being planned to remember, with honor and with reverence, the 3000 souls who perished at the murderous hands of Islamic terrorists on 9/11.

The New York memorial was in the process of turning into a blame-America monstrosity that essentially blamed the victims for this despicable act at the World Trade Center. Fortunately, enough pressure was brought to bear by the families that Governor Pataki courageously called a halt to the unfolding design.

Even worse, the architect commissioned to design the memorial planned to honor the victims of Flight 93, (who brought the plane down in Pennsylvania to save the Capitol) came up with a design that, incredibly, honors the Muslim religion, and would be more suitably located at Mecca than in Pennsylvania. There were howls of protests from those families and from people like me. The architect, Paul Murdoch, who agreed to make changes in his design, and to make the memorial more appropriate, has just released his redesign, and it is contemptible.

Here is what one who has been watching this closely has to say about the redesign:

“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.”

He goes on to say:

“Many of the terrorist-memorial elements of the Murdoch's design have this same half-hidden, half-obvious quality. The redesign, blending the original red crescent into a larger circle of trees, but still retaining its defining points, fits this half-hidden terrorist-memorial theme exactly. I am surprised Murdoch did not blend the red crescent in from the outset. He might have gotten away with it. But we cannot let him get away with it now. Paul Murdoch's Flight 93 memorial, both originally and in its barely modified incarnation, is not just a bit of P.C. openness to Islamic symbolism. It is an explicit and thorough-going shrine to the terrorists. Murdoch is an Islamo-fascist. He is one of the enemy, trying to plant an Islamo-fascist memorial on the graves of our murdered heroes. No other explanation is possible. Please help stop this evil.”
