Here is a shocker.. Islam has no symbol. The crescent moon and the star is not an Islamic symbol, but was displayed on flags of Muslim empires (i.e. the Ottoman Empire). Also consider that the Muslim calendar is lunar based, and each month begins with the crescent moon. But if this was a symbol of Islam, which is not, it would be mentioned as such in either the Holy Qur'an or hadith of the Prophet (peace be upon him).
