Islam Crescent in a 9/11 Memorial

Over the weekend there was a lot of news about 9/11 and also about some of the memorials that are being made for the victims.  However, did you know there is a stirring controversy over the memorial that is being made for the victims of Flight 93?

The controversy is that there is an apparent image of the crescent in this memorial.  Michelle Malkin has an image of this on her website.  You can view the image here.

This is important because some believe that this is Christian persecution toward all Christian Americans.  In an article titled Flight 93 Memorial: A Slap at Christians in America we read the following:

I can think of no greater affront to American honor than to slap a blatantly Islamic symbol across a 9/11 memorial, but that is exactly what is in the works.  The winning entry for the Flight 93 National Memorial, unveiled on September 7—just four days before the fourth anniversary of 9/11—includes both the Islamic symbol of the Crescent—the “Crescent of Embrace”—and, more carefully disguised, a minaret-like structure called the “Tower of Voices,” whose chimes continually “celebrate a living memory of those who are honored.” 

Just who is being honored is in question.

The Los Angeles-based architect who submitted this disgraceful design is Paul Murdoch, who insists that no connection to Islam was intended, that his memorial is “not about religion, per se,” but is to be a spiritual, sacred place open to all.  So is all this much ado about nothing, a mere coincidence?

I don't think for a second that this is a "mere coincidence" because when you understand that many in the liberal left support radical Islam, see the ACLU website as an example, then you understand that this is a blatant way to honor the religion of Islam, even though it was adherents to that religion that attacked America.

Pray for wisdom and discernment and you'll be amazed at the amount of persecution that is coming to America.
