To nije cudo jer kad u pustinji zapece Zvezda onda sve značajno se radi nocu. Hrišćani pak zbog podnevlja u kojima žive imaju svoj kult obozavanja Sunca.

Bravo zezo pametnice moja, sva sreća islam nema nocno nebo za svoj znak.

Eh zezo, nije valjda da se slazes sa mnom?

Leslier,Mjesec neproizvodi nikakvo svijetlo i to je mrtvo svemirsko tijelo isto kao sto je i sam islam.

Polukameni,
„lesselier, da li ti stvarno mislis da je...”.

Halbstein, koliko ja vidim, ti nemas pojma o hrišćanstvu, a još manje o Islamu.

Moco, ne zna ko ti je dao minus, ali ja sam ti dao plus.

Koristis svoj mozak, ali si pun predrasuda?

Reci mi, kada si zadnji put procitao nešto o Islamu, a da je to bio autentican tekst, a ne propagandno-misionarski?

Zezo, šta će vam Mesec i Zvezda? Hajde se još malko odricaj kao da muslimani nemaju ništa sa tim, simpaticno te je posmatrati.

„Nadji ti meni hrišćane koji se klanjaju Suncu i koji se mole krstu. To nigde nećeš naći,...”.

Mocco, js nisam rekao da se hrišćani mole krstu, već da se mole PRED krstom, da ga celivaju (razne denominacije), da ga vesaju svuda, pa i u svojim domovima, sto po Islamu JESTE jedan vid idolopoklonstva, pogotovo kad su katolici u pitanju.

E sad, reci mi GDE to muslimani u svetu cine sa polumesecom?
Nigde!
Muslimani imaju autenticne istorijske izvore i na osnovu njih svaki laik može doći do zakljucka da polumesec nije i ne može biti simbol Islama.
Jednostavno je to kod nas – samo proveris da li je Muhammed i njegovi pratioci, kao i nekoliko generacija posle njih, da li su oni koristili taj simbol.
Odgovor je ne!
Pa, kako to može biti simbol Islama, kad nema utemeljenja u islamu?
Mocco, pitaj bilo kog muslimana koji je bar malo nacitan bilo gde u svetu – da li je to simbol Islama – videces šta će ti reci.

The Crescent Moon
Is it a symbol of Islam?

The crescent moon and star is an internationally-recognized symbol of the faith of Islam. The symbol is featured on the flags of several Muslim countries, and is even part of the official emblem for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. The Christians have the cross, the Jews have the star of David, and the Muslims have the crescent moon, right?

What is the history behind the crescent moon symbol? What does it symbolize or mean? How and when did it become associated with the faith of Islam? Is it a valid symbol for the faith?

The crescent moon and star symbol actually pre-dates Islam by several thousand years. Information on the origins of the symbol are difficult to ascertain, but most sources agree that these ancient celestial symbols were in use by the peoples of Central Asia and Siberia in their worship of sun, moon, and sky gods. There are also reports that the crescent moon and star were used to represent the Carthaginian goddess Tanit or the Greek goddess Diana.

The city of Byzantium (later known as Constantinople and Istanbul) adopted the crescent moon as its symbol. According to some reports, they chose it in honor of the goddess Diana. Others indicate that it dates back to a battle in which the Romans defeated the Goths on the first day of a lunar month. In any event, the crescent moon was featured on the city's flag even before the birth of Christ.

THE EARLY MUSLIM COMMUNITY DID NOT REALLY HAVE A SYMBOL. DURING THE TIME OF THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD (PEACE BE UPON HIM), ISLAMIC ARMIES AND CARAVANS FLEW SIMPLE SOLID-COLORED FLAGS (GENERALLY BLACK, GREEN, OR WHITE) FOR IDENTIFICATION PURPOSES. IN LATER GENERATIONS, THE MUSLIM LEADERS CONTINUED TO USE A SIMPLE BLACK, WHITE, OR GREEN FLAG WITH NO MARKINGS, WRITING, OR SYMBOLISM ON IT.

It wasn't until the Ottoman Empire that the crescent moon and star became affiliated with the Muslim world. When the Turks conquered Constantinople (Istanbul) in 1453, they adopted the city's existing flag and symbol. Legend holds that the founder of the Ottoman Empire, Osman, had a dream in which the crescent moon stretched from one end of the earth to the other. Taking this as a good omen, he chose to keep the crescent and make it the symbol of his dynasty.

There is speculation that the five points on the star represent the five pillars of Islam, but this is pure conjecture. The five points were not standard on the Ottoman flags, and as you will see on the following page, it is still not standard on flags used in the Muslim world today.

FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS, THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE RULED OVER THE MUSLIM WORLD. AFTER CENTURIES OF BATTLE WITH CHRISTIAN EUROPE, IT IS UNDERSTANDABLE HOW THE SYMBOLS OF THIS EMPIRE BECAME LINKED IN PEOPLE'S MINDS WITH THE FAITH OF ISLAM AS A WHOLE.

Based on this history, many Muslims reject using the crescent moon as a symbol of Islam. The faith of Islam has historically had no symbol, and many refuse to accept what is essentially an ancient pagan icon. It is certainly not in uniform use among Muslims.

To su samo oznake identiteta, samo sto jedni veruju u cistinu, znaci tamo gde nema nejasnina/nejasnoca, a drugi u patnju kao osnovno i neizostavno sredstvo prociscenja. Za većinu nas (običnih) smrtnika (i malih ljudi) i jedno i drugo je neophodno, ali jedno je ruzno a drugo lepo. (dotle dopire moja kratka misao)
