Washington - A proposed crescent-shaped memorial to 9/11 victims killed in Pennsylvania too closely resembles a key symbol of Islam and should be scrapped because the terrorist hijackers were "radical Islamists," Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo said Tuesday.

In a letter to the National Park Service, Tancredo said that the plan for the memorial at the site where hijacked United Flight 93 crashed "has raised questions in some circles about whether the design, if constructed, will in fact make the memorial a tribute to the hijackers rather than the victims."

The winning design for the Shanksville, Pa., memorial was unveiled last week. A jury including family members of victims selected it out of more than 1,000 entrants. The plan includes a crescent of red maple trees, meant to symbolize a circle broken by the path of Flight 93.

1. But it actually resembles a Commie Sickle (without the Hammer)

:eyes:

I wonder if the man looks at the shapes that clouds make for legislative omens.

3. Did you see they're actually going to change the design?

They've already rolled over on it. The whackos won this one.

6. Unfortunately, the architect is giving in.

Architect offers changes to 9/11 memorial

"It's a disappointment there is a misinterpretation and a simplistic
distortion of this, but if that is a public concern, than that is
something we will look to resolve in a way that keeps the essential
qualities," Murdoch, 48, of Los Angeles, said in a telephone interview.

7. No standing

If something like 9/11 happens in his district then I will listen to what he has to say. Otherwise, he should button it.

8. Better check Michelle Malkin's editorial

for plagiarism . . . She was bitching that the design was a memorial to "surrendering" . . .
