911 Flight 93 Memorial: Islamic Crescent of Betrayal

30

Mr. Burnett (father of flight 93 hero Tom Burnett) and Alec Rawls have just published the first of what will be a series of six advertisements in western Pennsylvania newspapers exposing the official circle-breaking, crescent-creating theme of the 911 memorial design in Shanksville, Pennslyvania. We all know that it was the jihadis who broke the circle of peace, so the design can only be depicting the actions of Islamic terror, who are seen not only as smashing our circle of peace, but as leaving a giant Islamic-shaped crescent in its place.

This cultural obscenity opens on the tenth anniversary of 911 (we will back at Ground Zero protesting the grotesque Ground Zero mosquestrosity). A crescent? Why not a cross? Or an American flag? What better symbol at the site where Americans first fought back against the jihad and saved the White House or Capitol Building?

More explicit than a giant Islamic crescent-and-star flag?

As the ad-headline notes, the Circle of Embrace "redesign" only accentuates the circle-breaking crescent-creating theme of the original Crescent of Embrace. Mr. Burnett's full remarks explain:

The only visible change is the addition of an extra arc of trees that explicitly represents a broken off part of the circle. The unbroken part of the circle, what symbolically remains standing in the wake of 9/11, is just the original Crescent of Embrace: a giant Islamic shaped crescent, still pointing to Mecca.

People also need to know that a Mecca-direction indicator is the central feature around which every mosque is built. It is called a "mihrab," and the classic mihrab is crescent shaped.

So the terrorists broke our circle of peace on 9/11, and all that remains standing is the central feature of a mosque. The inclusion of a broken-off part of the circle only accentuates this terrorist-memorializing symbolism. It bastardizes what my son Tom and the other heroes of Flight 93 accomplished. The crescent/broken-circle design is a desecration of sacred ground.

We all know who broke the circle of peace on 9/11 (thanks to Alec)

It was 19 Islamic terrorists. That makes the broken-circle memorial to Flight 93 a memorial to the terrorists, who are depicted not only as smashing our circle of peace, but as leaving a giant Islamic crescent-and-star flag in its place:

They call it a broken circle now, but the unbroken part of the circle, what symbolically remains standing in the wake of 9/11, is just the original Crescent of Embrace: a giant Islamic-shaped crescent, pointing to Mecca.

The damned thing is actually an al Qaeda victory mosque, with the Mecca-oriented crescent as its mihrab: the Mecca-direction indicator around which every mosque is built.

That is the short version of an advertisement that started running in western Pennsylvania newspapers last week. Alec Rawls sends along this update on the effort to stop the crescent mosque.



10th anniversary ad campaign now underway

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review recently solicited Tom Burnett Senior's response to some new design images for the Flight 93 memorial. When he said that the so-called redesign leaves all of the terrorist memorializing features intact, editors instructed reporter Kari Andren to leave his remarks out. They preferred un-interrupted praise from the same few family members who always speak up for the broken-circle design.

The people of Pennsylvania deserve to see what their information gate-keepers don't want them to know, so Mr. Burnett and his backers decided to begin their 10th anniversary ad campaign a few weeks early. The first full-page color ad just ran in the Somerset Daily American and will appear in two other local papers next week.

For a PDF of the ad copy, click on the thumbnail below, or scroll down for the same content formatted for browsing. If anyone wants to help fund additional advertising, a very generous soul has offered to match all donations up to a total of $5000.

Park Service calls the circle "broken"

A proper newspaper would ask the Park Service if the extra arc of trees really does represent a broken-off part of the circle. Still, people can easily verify this crucial fact for themselves. It is right on the Park Service's own website. Their "questions about the design" page asks "Is this circle 'broken' at all?" Their answer is yes:

… the circle is symbolically "broken" or missing trees in two places, depicting the flight path of the plane, and the crash site.

The locations of these two breaks in the "circle of embrace" are spelled out:

…first, where the flight path of the plane went overhead (which is the location of the planned memorial overlook and visitor center), and second, where the plane crashed at the Sacred Ground (depicted by a ceremonial gate and pathway into the Sacred Ground).

These are the two ends of the extra arc of trees, which starts near the original upper crescent tip and continues down to the crash site. So Mr. Burnett is right. Both ends of the new arc of trees are explicitly broken off. The unbroken part of the circle—what symbolically remains standing in the wake of 9/11—is just the original Islamic-shaped Crescent of Embrace that the Park Service promised to change.

To illustrate, the ad includes a side-bar of graphics, showing just what is changed and what is not changed in the memorial. This is slightly complicated by the fact that the Park Service pretended that they were going to make one very big cosmetic change that they are not actually making, but a few pictures easily tell the tale.

The Park Service pretended the outside of the crescent would be filled in with a forest of trees

A publicity shot of the original Crescent of Embrace design shows what appears to be a bare-naked Islamic crescent-and-star flag planted atop the crash site:
Crescent of Embrace publicity shot

When this blatant Islamic symbolism caused an uproar, architect Paul Murdoch re-worked his mock-up to show a forest of additional trees surrounding the outside of the original Crescent:
Circle/Bowl of Embrace publicity shot
Only the inner arc of the crescent remains visible, making the new Circle of Embrace name seem reasonable. But none of these surrounding trees made it into the actual Circle of Embrace design drawings. (The "Stage 1" drawings, encompassing the area seen in these images, were released in 2009.)

The Park Service may eventually let the bare field grow in with trees, but this is not a change in the design. The only actual change is the extra arc of trees, seen below in orange. It explicitly represents a broken off part of the circle:
What Circle of Embrace will actually look like
What the Circle of Embrace actually looks like. The original giant crescent still sits naked on an open field and the flight path still "breaks the circle" at the upper crescent tip.

Remove the explicitly broken off part of the circle (in orange), and what symbolically remains standing in the wake of 9/11 is the same giant Mecca-oriented crescent the Park Service promised to change. It constitutes a classic "mihrab," the Mecca-direction indicator around which every mosque is built, and will form the centerpiece for the world’s largest mosque.

Who broke the circle of peace on 9/11?

When the "Crescent of Embrace" was unveiled as the winning design, architect Paul Murdoch explained the crescent name and the crescent shape by saying that the circle was broken on 9/11, leaving only a part of the circle still standing: the giant crescent. The fact that this circle-breaking crescent-creating theme remains completely intact in the broken-circle design demands the question of WHO is being depicted as breaking the circle of peace on 9/11.

The final section of the ad points out that there can only be one answer. We all know who broke the peace on 9/11. Thus the memorial can only be depicting the actions of the terrorists, who are seen not only as smashing our circle of peace, but as replacing it with their own crescent and star flag.

With the media censoring all criticism, people who don't like all this blatant Islamic symbolism need a way to signal each other directly, so the ad finishes with a handy dandy flyer that readers can post on windows, walls, bulletin boards etcetera:

So I guess, like the Ground Zero mosque, this would be a victory site for Islam?

This is classic Muslim psychological warfare and identical in its intention to the Ground Zero Victory Mosque.
In every country they invade or infiltrate, Muslims attempt to dominate public space in order to establish the supremacy of Islam and to intimidate, humiliate and insult the infidels. More examples here: http://crombouke.blogspot.com/2010/01/muslim-domination-of-public-space.html

Well spotted Pam Geller!
We should close the circle so that… no one can enter or leave the memorial…
We should make sure to always finish our donuts too, one bite only could make it look like a crescent, and God knows what signal it would send to our dead heroes.

Sorry, Pamela, I can’t support you on this one. I’ve traded emails with Alec Rawls and found that he’s an obessed person. His arguments are little more than spotting bunnyrabbits in the clouds.
The shape of the memorial was based upon the natural topography of the land, nothing more, and it’s silly to read more into it than that.

Dumping pig manure at a monument to the people who died on Flight 93, or cutting down trees (didn’t the koo-koo Koran have something about how it’s wrong to cut down date palms?) — that’ll show those madman Mahometans a thing or two!
I think we should vandalize ALL the memorials to the people who were killed on 9/11. It’s our patriotic duty! Because if there’s any recognition of how deeply that attack wounded America, Jesus’s greatest nation, the Muslimaniacs will know they hit us where it hurt.
We should just keep quiet about the whole thing. The bombs we drop on their countries to kill their hordes of barbaric warriors will be the best memorial of all to the men and women who were killed by those bloodthirsty, indiscriminate killers. USA! USA! USA! KILL EM ALL!

Whom are they kidding? The “forest” still follows the shape of the crescent with it’s ends separated by a large gap. Yeah sure, they’ll let the field grown in with trees. That will destroy the integrity of the design and take away from whatever feeling the architect was trying for. Just saying, they’re not going to let it become overgrown.

Briareus

Bukko, you’re an idiot, but you do make one point.
This is a memorial to the victims of 911, not the perpetrators, regardless of what Rawls or anyone else claims. Rawls’ strongest argument is that the “crescent” points toward Mecca. IT DOESN’T. The rest of his theory is based upon “this looks like it could represent” type subjective views.
Show me an alternative design, and using the same tactics as Rawls does for his own self-promotion, I’ll show you how the imagery is directly connected to any evil empire of your choice.

Briareus

@mk750 — The natural topography of the site chosen for the memorial is a circular bowl, high on one side and low on the other. By Rawls’ and others specious logic, Mother Nature created this “islamic symbol” long before 911. Occam’s razor…

Radegunda

Briareus:
Just the natural topography? Is that why they chose to call it the “Crescent of Embrace”? Did the topography leave no other option than to make a starkly obvious crescent shape, pointing to Mecca, with a feature situated where the star would be on an Islamic flag?
Other designs were submitted. Surely they weren’t all crescent shapes. Why was the “Crescent of Embrace” chosen over the others?
And why, after the architect and officials were made aware that the design (and name!) reminded people immediately of an Islamic crescent and star or a mihrab, did they not have the decency to redesign it in respect for the feelings of American citizens and the families of the victims?
Occam’s razor doesn’t cut through all those questions.

Radegunda

Briareus,
Aren’t architects paid a lot of money to develop a design that’s appropriate for the purpose? Why would a pricey architect be so limited as you suggest? Why hire an architect if the design was dictated (as you imply) by Mother Nature?
You’ve posted three comments in defense of the “Crescent of Embrace.” What’s your real reason for defending the “Crescent” with such insistence? I seriously doubt that it’s only a devotion to topography.

But Briareus, I’m a patriot, not an idiot! Isn’t it the essence of modern American patriotism to want to kill, Kill, KILL! to show how great America is? Isn’t it great to be feared when you can’t be loved? That was my dad’s approach when I was a teenager, and as much as I hated his ass, I did the same thing with my kid when she was a disrespectful teenager. Until the damn government meddlers got involved with their “child protection orders” and other such BS. So shouldn’t America do the same thing with the Muzzies? Then they might turn into alcoholics and drug addicts like everyone in my extended family who got the beating treatment, eh?
P.S. I would say “Good job” about your blog to keep track of irregularities at LGF, but are you sure that conservatives should be criticizing other conservatives? That sounds like something a dirty rotten liberal would do.

Radegunda–
Firstly, the memorial design was the result of a competition. Many architects and landscape designers submitted entries. Murdoch’s design was chosen by a panel of judges.
Secondly, if you were to look at the design without having been exposed to a superimposed image of the islamic crescent and star, very few people would connect the two. When the concerns of hidden symbolism first arose years ago, an independent study was commissioned. I’ve read that analysis, and I suggest you do as well.
Thirdly, Alec Rawls is obsessed with making a name for himself, and this is his singular focus.
Your insinuation that I am a supporter of Islam is insulting.

Not sure who this “Briareus” character is, but he’s full of disinformation, stating for one:
“Rawls’ strongest argument is that the “crescent” points toward Mecca. IT DOESN’T.”
It is trivially easy to verify that the crescent points to Mecca. (No need for quotes on “crescent” either: they NAMED it Crescent of Embrace.)
Just use any online Islamic prayer-direction calculator to print out the direction to Mecca (“qibla” in Arabic) from Somerset PA.
http://www.qiblalocator.com/
Place this print-out over the Crescent site-plan on your computer screen,
http://www.crescentofbetrayal.com/F93CrescenSite-PlanPDF.pdf
and you’ll see that the Mecca-line almost exactly bisects the giant crescent:
http://www.crescentofbetrayal.com/VerifyingMeccaOrientation.htm
So where does Briareus get ther idea that the crescent doesn’t point to Mecca. He is not explicit, but he does mention the Memorial Project “White Paper” that I have posted at my Crescent of Betrayal website:
http://www.crescentofbetrayal.com/WhitePaper.htm
Highly recommended reading. On the Mecca orientation of the crescent, they cite one Dr. Daniel Griffith, a professor of “geospatial information” at the University of Texas, who CONFIRMS that the giant crescent does indeed point almost exactly at Mecca. He just tries to deny that this implies any Islamic meaning: “just because calculations are correct does not make the resulting numbers meaningful.”
Obviously the meaning of a crescent that points almost-exactly at Mecca is not a question that falls within Dr. Griffith’s field of expertise. Briareus can approve Griffith’s ignorant declaration that the Mecca-orientation doesn’t mean anything if he wants to, but on the point at hand–does the crescent point to Mecca–Griffith and the White Paper confirm this orientation, they do not refute it, as Briareus seems to think.

How about redesign the crescent of embrace such that it is broken into 43 pieces. This would represent the 43 passengers and crew members broken the terrorist plan, or that the circle of peace formed by the 43 passengers and crew members were broken by the terrorist.
