Terrorist Memorial

The Bush Administration needs to be taken to task for this: allowing a design which explicitly celebrates the "religion" of the murderous terrorists who downed Flight 93 to go through. It was called "Crescent of Embrace", but they changed the name, apparently hoping the rubes wouldn't get the Islamic connection. But at the linked site, you will see that this is quite consciously a tribute to the Islamic religion.

This is simply the wrong place to pay tribute to Islam. Those that murdered in its name do not merit anything more than scorn. The real heroes are the ones who prevented that plane from striking DC. Mark Bingham, Todd Beamer, Jeremy Glick, and all the other passengers who embodied America's first response to the madmen of 9/11 should be memorialized. Where's "Let's Roll!"? Where is the explicit mention of what these brave souls did?

This really, really ticks me off.
