And do you see the word "zion" in the 2012 Olympics logo??
Or is that too much of a squint?

Wow! I had no idea! I'm not sure why the designer of it didn't go back to the drawing board, after seeing it pointed to Mecca, I guess that is why it is still not finished.
Thank you, the funny thing is I have heard about this NO where, but after I read your thread I googled it and sure enough the info is out there!

After watching the videos (I hadn't followed this much since just before the "redesign") I can only come to the conclusion that he designed it the way he did - and redesigned it in a way that changes nothing - on purpose. I can't begin to imagine his motivation as he's not a Muslim as far as I'm aware; but there are just too many design characteristics that have to be taken as a celebration of the attacks rather than a memorial to the victims.
The father of the hero who led the charge on the cockpit with the words "Let's Roll" is the man leading the protest against this national disgrace and he's not the only surviving family member to feel this "memorial" is pissing on the memory of his son and the others who died. IMO, if even ONE family member objects to the memorial then the plans need to be scrapped in favor of something they can all agree on; after all, it was their loved ones who were killed.
ETA: When I saw Todd's father about to bust into tears, begging for viewers to help him stop this travesty before it's too late, my heart just broke for him. For a grown man to lose it like that in public, you know this issue is just tearing him up. And I'm sure he's not the only one.edit on 9/12/2011 by OldCorp because: (no reason given)
