Tom Burnett Sr. Wants Son Off Profane Flight 93 Memorial
Tom Burnett Jr. took part in the passenger uprising that prevented Islamic terrorists from crashing United Flight 93 into the Capitol on 9/11. Yet his father Tom Burnett Sr. has asked that his name not appear on the monument being built ostensibly to honor the heroes who died on that flight.
This is understandable, in light of suspicions that the "Crescent of Embrace" (now called the "Bowl of Embrace") memorial has been designed as an open-air mosque, intended to honor the Muslim hijackers rather than the brave Americans like Burnett who rose up against them — as painstakingly documented by Alec Rawls.
The moonbat-friendly Pittsburgh Post-Gazette turns a grudging acknowledgment of the senior Burnett's objections into a hit piece on Rawls, whose attempts to derail the abomination have laid him open to slander like this:
We basically have a fanatic who has continued to undercut and violate the families and is exploiting their feelings on his own behalf.
To discredit Rawls' observation that the memorial is actually a mihrab, which points Muslims toward their magic meteor in Mecca, the Post-Gazette brings in "geospatial information sciences professor" Daniel Griffith, all the way from UT-Dallas, who astonishingly claims that everything points toward Mecca, because the Earth is round.
This is great news for British taxpayers, who will no longer have to pay to rebuild prison toilets so that they don't face toward Mecca. It will also make it easier for the staff at Club Gitmo, who have been putting arrows indicating "qibla" (the direction toward Mecca) in the rooms of vacationing terrorists.
But the publication of this revelation is bad news for anyone at the Post-Gazzette who expects grownups to take their dhimmified leftist rag seriously.
A downloadable draft of Rawls' Crescent of Betrayal is still available for free.
On a tip from Reid.

Haven't they yet figured out how STUPID this monument would be? Why don't they take a poll with just one question: "Should we surrender to the islamists and become muslim?" At least the Liberals would have to take a stand and we would know what they REALLY think.

This whole issue could be defused by changing the orientation of the memorial to point in the opposite direction.

This whole issue could be defused by changing the orientation of the memorial to point in the opposite direction. Or at least in the direction in which the plane was originally intended to be heading.

This is great news. I'm calling a contractor tomorrow to have my toilet moved to be oriented perfectly toward Mecca, so I can take a symbolic crap right on Mohammed's head.

And what about the cresent? This is the same type of design as the one in Arizona, what does that say to our enemies?

I was a bit confused by the direction for prayer indicated on the map. I was thinking Mecca is E-SE of Somerset and the arrrow point N-NE. I guess it's a shorter route as the crow flies to go NE though.
On a different note, Pittsburgh had two major moonbat daily papers not too long ago. The Pitttsburgh Press was the evening paper and the PG was the morning paper. A Teamsters strike about 15 years ago ended up destroying the "Press". The moonbattier PG absorbed the remains of the Press, and what is left is one paper that has less than half of the circulation that the two competitors used to have.
It's a cautionary tale for newspapers: Live by moonbattery - Die by moonbattery.
Meanwhile, a more conservative paper from the 'burbs called the Tribune Review has been putting a major dent in the formerly monopolized greater Pittsburgh market.

Make it a complete circle instead of a crescent so it doesnt point in any direction.

They say if you go outside and stand without moving, holding your breath for a few seconds...you can hear the faint, yet vast crescendo of "Liberals'" knees knocking together as they ponder the thought of an Islamist..(choke)...becoming annoyed with them. I've tried it...and it's true...
Come to think of it, it wasn't very faint...!

Why do we have to have this abstract piece of crap anyway? Put up a proper statue! Build a handsome memorial hall. Put up a museum that just tells the story of what happened there. Who says a memorial has to look like something Yoko Ono threw up?
"Crescent of Embrace" sounds like Andrew Sullivan and a bunch of his buddies having an incomplete circle jerk.

Gee, I want his spawn's name off the memorial too!

V the K, you want "his spawn's name off the memorial too" Because you don't want to commemorate the way the average American was willing to take down Islamist s**t-bags? Let me guess, you are an Islamist, read impotent without violence, and you hope to one day genitally mutilate a daughter? Or do you hope to sexually abuse a son, like most ragheads.
The Memorial for flight 93 should be similar to the monument of the Marines raising the flag at Serabachi. I suggest a large statue showing the Hero's of Flight 93, pushing their cart into the cringing, dying ragheads.
To James McEnanly: I suggest buying a koran and using it as toilet paper. I wipe my ass with the words of the Prophet/pediphile, damnation be upon him, daily. Covering the Koran with s**t is what it deserves.
