Tom Burnett Sr. and his wife Beverly did some 9/11 interviews the last couple of
days, remembering their son Tom Jr., who was murdered by Islamic terrorists
aboard Flight 93. Mr. Burnett has been trying for several years to stop the Park
Service from planting a giant Islamic-shaped crescent on the Flight 93 crash
site. In their interview with <a href="http://www.wsau.com/">WSAU</a> radio in
Wisconsin, the Burnetts were joined half-way through the hour by <a href="http://errortheory.blogspot.com/2009/09/burnett-radio-interview-about-911-and.html">Alec
Rawls</a> (the author of this blogburst post), who has written a <a href="http://www.crescentofbetrayal.com/">book</a>
about the terrorist memorializing Crescent of Embrace design.
Mr. Burnett's words are always heartfelt, yet marked by a constant
scrupulousness. Emotion never carries him to utter a word beyond what he
actually has grounds to assert. Highly recommended <a href="http://files.museumpods.com/interviews/The%20Burnetts%20and%20Alec%20Rawls%20on%209.11%20memorial%2009.10.09.mp3">listening</a>,
perhaps especially for those who are better at judging people than facts. Let's
face it, show some people the Mecca-orientation of the giant crescent, and they
just aren't sure what they are looking at. Point out that the central feature of
every mosque is a <a href="http://i-cias.com/spain/cordoba04.htm">Mecca-direction
indicator</a>, and somehow the pieces don't fall together in their brains:

What is that? Just a mysterious diagram to some.
Yet these folks can still be good judges of character. So judge the Burnetts.
The WSAU <a href="http://files.museumpods.com/interviews/The%20Burnetts%20and%20Alec%20Rawls%20on%209.11%20memorial%2009.10.09.mp3">interview</a>
begins with host Pat Snyder asking Mr. Burnett if America is doing enough as a
nation to remember 9/11. Most of us, on being asked any question, will try to
answer it, but Mr. Burnett immediately defers, and in the most polite way:<blockquote>Well,
I'm not a very good judge of that. We are tucked away here in the southeast
corner of Minnesota...</blockquote>But if he isn't interested in passing
judgment on how <em>much</em> America should do to remember 9/11, he is very
concerned that we don't honor the wrong people, and starts right in on the
Flight 93 memorial (which Mr. Snyder puts off to later).
Both the Burnetts have a sophisticated understanding of American liberty.
Talking about the generosity of Americans towards each other and the world,
Beverly notes the change that has taken place in her lifetime, where assistance
used to be all private, but now the government has gotten involved. She passes
no explicit judgment on this development, but just notes what <em>should</em>
remain constant (at 17:22):<blockquote>I think about all the programs we have in
the government. I come from a different generation, and my mother and father,
and Tom's, that we never really looked to the government all the time. We looked
to our neighbors and churches and friends for things. But our government should
be there to make sure we're SAFE.</blockquote>Instead, as Tom and Bev both note,
our elites don't even want to acknowledge that it was <em>Muslim</em> terrorists
who attacked us on 9/11.
It is these same elites who don't want to acknowledge the Islamic symbol-shapes
in the Flight 93 memorial. To witness this symbolism would be to tie Islam to
9/11, which to these people is some unconscionable bigotry, regardless of the
truth. There is the rub. As Mr. Burnett put it (at 25:16):<blockquote>All we
want--Alec, and the <a href="http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/HonorFlight93/signatures.html">thousands</a>
of Americans who back us--we want the truth. What happened? [How did we end up
with an Islamist design?] And we want to honor the 40 people. I don't want
anything to do with the Islamic fanatics, anything at all.</blockquote>Mr. and
Mrs. Burnett are very thoughtful, careful, rational people. So who is it who is
"too far out"? People like the Burnetts, who are skeptical that the architect of
a memorial to Flight 93 could plant a giant crescent and star flag on the crash
site by mistake? Or is it the people who somehow convince themselves that a
crescent and star flag is just fine, so long as we can't <em>prove</em> that it
is intentional?

Actually, we CAN prove that the Islamic symbolism is intentional. Architect Paul
Murdoch does not want history to be able to deny his achievement, so he included
extensive redundant proofs of intent, such as the following. Murdoch says the
crescent comes from the terror attacks <a href="http://www.tribune-democrat.com/local/local_story_257234554.html?keyword=topstory">breaking
the circle</a> (leaving only the giant Islamic-shaped crescent still standing,
hmmm). Remove the parts of the crescent that stick out past the point where the
flight path (coming down from the upper left) symbolically breaks the circle,
and what symbolically remains standing is a giant Islamic-shaped crescent
pointing EXACTLY at Mecca.

The full Crescent of Embrace points 1.8° north of Mecca ± 0.1°. Remove the parts
of the Entry Portal walls that extend past the flight path at the upper crescent
tip and the remaining “true” or thematic crescent points exactly at Mecca, ±
0.1°.
All the supposed <a href="http://www.crescentofbetrayal.com/VerifyingCircleStillBroken.htm">redesign</a>
did was add an extra arc of trees that explicitly represents a broken off part
of the circle, leaving Murdoch’s circle-breaking crescent-creating theme
completely intact. The unbroken part of the circle, what symbolically remains
standing in the wake of 9/11, is still a precisely Mecca-oriented crescent, the
centerpiece for the world’s largest mosque.
