9-11 Memorial Conspiracy

If only you look hard enough, you'll uncover ample evidence of the crescent conspiracy.

The Rev. Ron McRae of the Bible Anabaptist Church in Somerset County did just that last week in protesting the winning design of the Flight 93 National Memorial, "Crescent of Embrace."

The tribute will be a mile-long arc of red maples surrounding the site near Shanksville where the hijacked plane crashed on Sept. 11, 2001, killing 40 passengers and crew members.

An outraged McRae noted what the designers of the memorial had neglected to reveal: The crescent moon and star is a common Islamic symbol, appearing on the flags of many Muslim nations.

"This is a memorial to the terrorists who killed those people, not a memorial to the folks who died there innocently," McRae told the Associated Press.

On the fourth anniversary of 9/11, it would be easy to casually dismiss McRae's remarks as those of a paranoid preacher who can't look under the bed without seeing gun-toting Muslims among the dust bunnies.

However, a closer examination of crescent placement in the U.S. appears to reveal a subtle and calculated infiltration of Islamic symbolism into American culture. Crescents are everywhere, seemingly not by accident, and those who could put the cover-up theories to rest don't want to talk.

Take officials of Crescent, a tiny township 12 miles northwest of Pittsburgh. They didn't return repeated calls to explain why Crescent was named after a popular Islamic symbol when it was founded in 1855.

Crescent's Web site doesn't mention Islam at all in explaining the township took that name because it previously had been a sliver of neighboring Moon Township. Like that's plausible.

Asked about the Islamic origins of Crescent Elementary School in Homewood, Pittsburgh Public Schools spokeswoman Pat Crawford offered a lukewarm denial.

" 'Crescent' was suggested because of a decided bend in Frankstown Road in the vicinity of the school," she insisted.

Yeah, sure. Many city streets have pronounced bends. How many get a school named after them?

A General Mills spokeswoman in Golden Valley, Minn., declined to discuss the Pillsbury Doughboy's activities in his spare time. Nor would she address whether he has ever associated with any radical Islamic fundamentalists.

"OK then," I said. "Care to comment on the doughboy's fanatical endorsement of crescent rolls over the years?"

"You know," she said, "I really don't think we want to participate in your story."

I think it's clear that McRae is on to something. So vast is the crescent conspiracy that its organizers were able to successfully inject Islamic imagery into what the gullible probably consider a tasteful, touching tribute to some of 9/11's most valiant victims.

Evidently the doughboy is in on it, too. If FBI agents hasn't done so already, they should delve into his surreptitious activities.

Maybe they can even find space for the pasty little pastry-pusher down in Guantanamo.
