Very cool to know I’m in the book Alec, appreciate it. I agree completely that this is just one more example of the hijacking of our national pride by the left. Everything has to have some sort of moral relativism included since no true evil exists. Except George Bush of course….sigh.

Many thanks, Curt, for helping to tackle this hijacker. You are in the book, by the way, for overturning the Jamil Hussein rock.

Crescent of Betrayal is about more than just the memorial debacle itself. What the memorial debacle provides is an up-close look at the mindset of partisan dishonesty that has allowed Paul Murdoch’s terrorist memorial mosque to get so far. What is seen is an anti-spirit of Flight 93.

Where the heroes of Flight 93 faced harsh truths and saw there what was required of them, those charged with the memorialization of Flight 93 started with the idea that critics of the crescent design were bigots, and refused to credit any information that would carry them to this “bigoted” side. Thus they have felt themselves morally superior throughout, even as they suppress the most glaring truths.

This same mindset is also at work on the national stage, where again it directly abets our Isalmo-fascist enemies, most obviously by trying desperately to secure American defeat in Iraq. The lesson of the memorial debacle (the abetting of evil that results when people put imagined partisan advantage ahead of trust in truth) needs to be carried outward to the larger phenomenon of partisan dishonesty, and that is what I do in the last third of my book. Thus the whole book is really about the spirit of Flight 93 and how this crazy memorial story gives the nation a chance to comprehend that spirit in contrast to its opposite, at this crucial time when partisan dishonesty has succeeded in gaining majority power.

If the nation can rise up and tackle the hijacker of the Flight 93 memorial, it could fire just the resurgence of trust in truth that the nation needs to knock back the purveyors of partisan dishonesty on the national stage. I think of it as one last gift from Flight 93: a crucial lesson to the nation, in this time of misdirection.

The Memorial debacle provides a startling look at person after person who somehow imagine that it can be right or in their interest to avoid or suppress the truth, and they are still going full bore. They are going to help Paul Murdoch stab his terrorist memorial mosque into the heartland of America to the very last, even directly lying to the public at this point to suppress what they know to be the factual truth of my claims.

If this is allowed to persist this will be a slap in the face of every victim lost in this incident from 9/11.

Has there been any reactions from the families of the victims?

This really needs a blog flood to get the message out and get something done before this thing is fixed and done.

So we have to show “intention” by the designers before any change could be made?

It’s not “impossible.” It’s simple.

If the intent of the designers is NOT to reflect some screwed up recognition of Islam, then change the desingn. Remove the blocks honoring the terrorists. Reorient the center which corresponds to the Islamic Star and encircle the entire memorial with trees, not simply show a crescent.

It’s clear that the desingers and commissioners supporting this flawed memorial do not understand, or are totally indifferent to the symbolism which is obvious to the rest of us.
