-♻RetweetFlight 93 Memorial Project Unchanged, Comments Now Open

Remember that outrageous Islamic crescent-shaped memorial for Flight 93, that caused such an uproar the designer was forced to go back and make changes?
Well, the changes are in, and the elements that caused the initial uproar are completely unaltered. It seems the designers simply waited for the controversy to die down, then went ahead with their plans anyway, making only tiny cosmetic changes.
Alec Rawls recaps the story, with his assertion that the memorial is actually a mihrab, the central feature around which every mosque is built.
And he points out that the Memorial Project is now accepting comments on the design. This may be the last chance to stop one of the most inappropriate 9/11 memorials imaginable.
