The design is the ultimate insult to their memories.</p> <P>It consists of a half-mile-wide mihrab. The central feature of all mosques, a mihrab is a crescent that points Muslims toward Mecca and the magic meteor there that savages still worship.</p> <P>The crescent design is no accident; like any mihrab, it is oriented toward Mecca. The design also features a "Tower of Voices" — basically a minaret that serves as a Islamic prayer-time sundial.</p> <P>As Alec Rawls explains at <A target="_blank" href="http://www.crescentofbetrayal.com/">CrescentOfBetrayal.com</A>:</p> <BLOCKQUOTE>We hosted an open design competition in time of war. Of course the enemy would enter, and try to win a memorial to their heroes instead of ours.</BLOCKQUOTE></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/077CAAE8-D867-4B5C-B135-074C2FBAE58F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
