Red crescent.

Green and red highlights.

I S L A M ? ? ? ? ?




The crescent and the colors green and red typically represent Islam, as in the flag of Algeria below. But the image above is the "Crescent of Embrace," a memorial for the 33 passengers and seven crew members of United Airlines Flight 93 who died September 11th to save other Americans from Islamic terrorists. While the view from the ground is no doubt beautiful and comforting, the overall design is at best insensitive.

Frankly, I can't say it any better than Sean. Go read what he has to say.
