Flight 93 Memorial: Does it Point to Mecca?

mecca_memorial.jpg

Should the new memorial to September 11th's Flight 93 be renamed the "Mecca Memorial?" Ace has the whole story.

I'm getting geared up for the Roberts confirmation hearings next week and so I hadn't paid much attention to this controversy over the memorial. But this caught my attention: Sarah Wells says -- and developed the graphic to prove it -- that the "Crescent of Embrace" points to Mecca.

My first thought: Surely not.

But this has got me shaking my head. What do you think?

I agree with Ace: Let's have a memorial done with trees that "coincidentally" shapes a cross.
