Redesigned Flight 93 Memorial Still an Islamic Shrine

I reported awhile back about the plans for the memorial to Flight 93 which crashed on 9/11, and how the designer seemed bound and determined to make the memorial more of a shrine to the terrorists than a memorial for the flight (see posts here and here). After the uproar from concerned citizens everywhere, promises were made to change the design to eliminate the red crescent, a powerful symbol in the Islamic world. Little Green Footballs points us to a posting which says that despite the promises, the new design is still a shrine to Islamofacism:

The redesigned flight 93 memorial, announced today, still contains all of the features that made it a terrorist memorial. Architect Paul Murdoch’s infamous red crescent is still there, still planted with red maple trees, still inscribed in the exact same circle as before, and with the same two crescent tips still intact. Thus the crescent bisector defined by these crescent tips is also the same as before. It still points almost exactly to Mecca, making the crescent a Mihrab (an Islamic prayer station, where the believer faces into a crescent, towards Mecca, to perform his ritual prostrations). The design still incorporates a separate upper terrorist-memorial wall, centered precisely on the red-maple crescent. There are still 44 translucent blocks on the flight path to the crash site, matching the total number of dead, instead of just the forty translucent blocks that are dedicated to the forty murdered Americans. Lastly, the Tower of Voices part of the memorial is still an Islamic prayer-time sundial.

The media has been reporting today that the memorial has been fixed and all problems are now in the past. Doesn't look like that's true.
