| [slm] Hmm, I'm no expert but I seem to remember that the crescent moon is used because of the lunar nature of the Islamic calendar; the new month begins with the sighting of the cresecent. The five pointed star is used to represent the five pillars of Islam. Here is an interesting link: http://islam.about.com/library/weekly/aa060401a.htm Ma'salaam sister steph |
