The American People Need To Educate Themselves And Take A Stand On This

I consider myself fairly well informed on the dangers of the Islamization of America, but I still have a lot to learn. I think most of us are just beginning to understand that there are people in the world who hate us just because we are Americans and we are free. The hard part of understanding that is beginning to understand that while we don’t seem overly concerned about the fact that they hate us, radical Islamists are making plans to change the things about us that they hate (our freedom, our way of life, our ability to worship the god of our choice). That is why what is going on with the memorial to Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, is so disturbing. It’s hard for most of us to understand what has happened.

John Hinderaker at Power Line reported yesterday on the plans for the Shanksville, Pennsylvania, memorial.

The article shows pictures of the design and states the following:

Announcement of the winning design by the National Park Service provoked a torrent of outrage. The result was that the Park Service had the design changed (I believe by the architect who created the original Crescent of Embrace, Paul Murdoch) so that it is now a circle–a “broken circle,” as it is described–rather than a crescent. The difference is at best a subtle one, and opposition to the project continued, led by Burnett and Alec Rawls. Rawls has a site called Crescent of Betrayal that contains a great deal of information about the Park Service’s design for the memorial. These images show how the revised design on the right is really the same as the original crescent, except that a grove of trees has been added to create the “broken circle” motif:

Unfortunately, the whole memorial is built around the central theme of Islam. This is an affront to the people on that plane who died that day. I strongly encourage you to follow the link to the article at Power Line and read the entire article. After that, please tell a friend, write a letter, or make some noise. This needs to be stopped before it is built.
