9. Modem Butterfly asked a couple of weeks ago
..if there was a more inclusive monument/memorial that could be set up after the crosses had been moved down by the psycho freep. She was told by Will Pitt that there are stars of David and crescent moons as well. I've just blown that picture way way up and can't see anything but crosses. At the time I thought ModemButterfly had an excellent point until Will claimed the faiths of all that have been killed were represented. I assumed that these symbols were of a number that reflected the numbers of killed as well. After seeing this picture I have a couple of questions and think Modem might have been on the money with her request.

1) Is there anything other than crosses in this memorial that I can't see?

2) What symbol is being used for atheists or agnostics and how is the faith of the dead soldiers being determined?

3) Are the crosses representative of Christians killed in this war against radical Islam?

4) Does it matter how that photo might be interpreted in the Muslim world regardless of the intentions of Cindy's righteous cause?
