- Johneeeee, on 05/05/2008, -3/+44Appalling. This is what I loath about the Political Left. They have to project their partsian bigotry and ignorance into everything! They have the emotional IQ of very young children when it comes to anything political. God forbid anything or anyone be allowed anything that does validate their ignorant overly emotional world views.

It's sickening that it's been years since they came up with this design and these asshats still want to go it. - inactive, on 05/05/2008, -3/+33Why don't they just build a mosque there instead?
Tom Burnett said if they go through with this he doesn't want his sons name on it. The rest of the families should do the same. - inactive, on 05/05/2008, -4/+28How utterly disgraceful!! What is wrong with that one guy on the video who does not care that the design of the memorial would be shaped like an Islamic crescent?
This is insane. We are supposed to honor, memorialize and remember the VICTIMS of terrorism - not the false religion of the terrorists who did this despicable act.
Good for Mr. Burnett for speaking out against what would surely be a travesty if the current design is not changed! - inactive, on 05/05/2008, -1/+23Done and done. I wondered what the heck happened to this project. Thanx!
- inactive, on 05/05/2008, -6/+23Dittos!
Frankly, 911 blame, IMHO, can be placed directly at the feet of liberalism.
Who stopped oil companies from drilling in America?
Who stopped any new cracking plants in America?
Who caused the quest for oil abroad?
Because of all these minor liberal knife cuts..... over time we have indirectly funded a genocidal nutcases hell bent on death, destruction and chaos.
What liberal president devastated our military and wrecked our intelligence gathering ability?
Radical Islam believes all Americans are exactly like the fruit loops twisted sort frequently exported by Hollywood... another liberal bastion. Even our enemies don't like liberals!
To top it off, liberalism, the MSM and many liberal politicians are/have aiding and abetting the very enemy who is plotting the demise of all of us.
Maybe we should go with all the Islamic features of the memorial but simple change the name of the memorial to
Liberalism Gone Wild! ?
Or Perhaps
The Do-Me Memorial
We could sell DVD's on TV of the place after 10 PM and are children are asleep. - Qong, on 05/05/2008, -1/+15Whether it was an intentional part of the design is irrelevant.
The eerie resemblance should be more than enough to change it, let alone that fact that, at the very least, one of the victims close family members wants his son's name left out if the current design does indeed go through. That is a sad thing to have his son's name removed, no matter if you are liberal, conservative, or anything else. That just isn't right. - drachemorder, on 05/05/2008, -1/+14Even if it's not deliberate, the obvious similarities ought to be enough to make the designers voluntarily redesign the thing.
- inactive, on 05/05/2008, -2/+15Hammer some copper nails into the trees and pour salt on the ground. Then they can rename it the "The Dead Crescent Memorial to islam and liberalism."
- diamondbigdog, on 05/05/2008, -0/+12The details are certainly there. One or two items get attributed to coincidence but start going past that and it is purposeful. Though even if it is totally a coincidence, they should change it so that it will not bother people. Does it really need to be that elaborate? A smaller more serene setting would do just fine.
- Heywoodj, on 05/05/2008, -1/+12What part of a RED ***** CRESCENT don't you see?
Might as well be a white flag if we let this stand. - DerangedPenguin, on 05/05/2008, -1/+12Petition signed, just what we need a memorial to flight 93 that resembles a mosque. If it weren't for the possibility that there might have been victims of Jewish descent on board flight 93 , I would love to see the ground soaked in pigs blood just to ward off the evil Muslim spirits.
- Heywoodj, on 05/05/2008, -2/+9Scroll down to Qong's comment.
My reply would echo his/hers with a little more profanity.
@hadees if it is possible to fail a Rorschach test, you've managed to do it. - novaculus, on 05/06/2008, -1/+7Check out this link and review archived articles:

The crescent, the main design feature, is in and of itself completely inappropriate. The glass blocks numeric symbolism, the orientation, the prayer time sundial, all might be coincidental individually. But with each additional coincidence, the probability that all these aspects of the design are coincidental diminishes. There are just too many coincidences here to be accidental.
Considering the importance of building a suitable tribute to the memory of those who died as victims of the terrorists, or actually doing battle with them in the air, the idea that this design should go forward is just incomprehensible. Surely a design can be found that does not, even arguably, contain tributes to the terrorist murderers. - caoilfhionn, on 05/07/2008, -1/+5The design is for the biggest mosque in North America by a factor of 100. One of the Islamic Scholars they're using to make excuses for the design is R. Kevin Jaques, from the University of Indiana, who wrote a paper saying our response to 9/11 should be - submit to sharia law. He says the reason we shouldn't be concerned is that the mihrab -which is what the giant crescent is -when you face into it, you are facing mecca - nobody has seen a mihrab this big before. A mihrab is the central feature of every mosque!
- hadees, on 05/05/2008, -6/+8We would never have enough oil if we only got it at home even if we drilled everywhere and we don't get that much oil from the middle east, the middle east just affects the price of oil we do get.
Don't blame the victims, meaning all of us including liberals, for the actions of Islamic extremists. - sarge96, on 08/17/2008, -0/+2Wow. Apparently I've discovered where all the conservative commenters on Digg went to.
Anyway, Maybe you're all reading into this just a wee bit much?
Besides, every death is a tragedy. The people who are responsible for 9/11 are not the ones who flew the planes but rather the ones who convinced them to do it. They were simply casualties of the humanity's latest religious war. If we had any sense, we'd drop religion all together. - inactive, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1Signed and forwarded the petition to everyone I know! Gee, I can't imagine why the MSM has not picked up on the story? /sarcasm.............Traitors that they are.
- novaculus, on 05/06/2008, -2/+2I dugg up your earlier comment, but am digging this one down. How is that?
- hstege, on 05/06/2008, -3/+2which republican president left troops stationed in saudi arabia following the persian gulf war?
which democratic president continued to leave them there?
osama bin laden wasn't pissed at america for buying oil...
anyway, i don't think you can lay the blame completely on one side of the aisle or the other for most issues, including for issues relating to 9/11. obviously the guys hijacking the planes and funding / planning the operation are to blame, but you can look back and see tertiary "minor knife cuts" that may have influenced their actions from both liberal and conservative actors. and if you can't recognize that, then it's time to be a bit more objective in making observations... - hadees, on 05/05/2008, -2/+1Well what are the similarities? So far I've only heard of the stuff with the crescent and the glass blocks.
The crescent stuff with the orientation seems really weird, I thought the line was supposed to go through the center of the crescent and it clearly doesn't do that in the case of the circile. Sure it goes through the broken circle but no where near the center. It starting to remind me of toofers.
Now i will say that I do understand the thing with the glass blocks and i think that should be changed and frankly it is an easy change. If the glass blocks are supposed to represent the victims don't have extra ones for the the date of the attack and the dedication, you can use other kinds of blocks. - hadees, on 05/05/2008, -4/+2In the case with the glass blocks i totally agree. However i think the crescent and orientation thing is ***** but if it would shut them up rotate the circle more even though already the line to "mecca" doesn't go through the center. And btw we live on a globe everything points to Mecca.
What is really ***** up about this is that fact i'm getting dugged down. I routinely speak out again Islamic extremisim on digg and never see any you who are so outraged by this comment and a majority of the stories i read about it. - hadees, on 05/06/2008, -4/+2@Heywooj, congratulations you just put yourself on needing the same level of proof as the toofers. Might as well start blabbing about building 7 and the steel melting.
- Rotzooi, on 05/06/2008, -3/+1Hillary Clinton is opposed to this version of the memorial, but Barack Hussein Obama likes mosques. The more the better.
- hadees, on 05/05/2008, -5/+2A half circle does not equal a red crescent. Where is the star? Why is the half circle all the same width?
- hadees, on 05/05/2008, -11/+2I don't think it is Islamic symbolism, the evidence just isn't that convincing. The article also says Colonel Harry Beam has "precise and devastating exposé of Islamic and terrorist memorializing design features" then complains the evidence isn't being reported yet the articles doesn't report it either. Unless more evidence comes to light it seems people are looking at ink splots in the way they are seeing what they want to see.
