I’m intrigued. Stix Blog writes about a petition circulating in Pennsylvania that highlights four cases of Islamic symbolism in the proposed Flight 93 memorial. Here are the features, straight from the official iPetitions petition: 

1. THE GIANT CRESCENT. The centerpiece of the original “Crescent of Embrace” design was a giant red Islamic shaped crescent. Every particle of this original crescent design remains completely intact in the so-called redesign, which only added a few irrelevant trees. The giant crescent is still there. 

 

2. IT POINTS TO MECCA. The giant crescent points to Mecca. A crescent that Muslims face into to face Mecca is called a “mihrab,” and is the central feature around which every mosque is built. The Flight 93 Memorial is on track to become the world’s largest mosque. 

3. THE ISLAMIC SUNDIAL. The minaret-like Tower of Voices is a year-round accurate Islamicprayer-time sundial (one of many typical mosque features that are realized in the crescent design, all on the same epic scale as the half mile wide central crescent). 

4. THE 44 BLOCKS. There are 44 glass blocks on the flight path, equaling the number of passengers, crew, AND terrorists.  

Check out the Stix Blog’s coverage for detailed illustrations of the proposed memorial. Chilling, isn’t it?
