Quoting Deli_kizin: I too thought it was interesting to read Armegon.
It made me wonder, as the sign of islam also includes this crescent: did the muslims take over the sign of the relgion of their ancestors? |
Dear Deli_kizin you wouldn't believe if you have heard many good symbols are derived from bad(devil) symbols of different cultures throughout the time or ages. And of course the opposite is true too. Well, as well as there are good symbols derived from good ones and bad symbols derived from bad symbols. In short; everything is possible.
Crescent (Islamic), Star(Jewish(6) & Islamic(5 or more not 6)), cross etc have their roots back into ancient ages/cultures. There are some people connecting them to Atlantis or Mu or even Extraterrestrial aliens...
Btw; do you know the symbol of Nazi's(WAR-KILL in todays' understanding)(which is banned in Germany as far as I know(wikipedia)) is derived from a Buddhist symbol which means PEACE and very common on Buddhist temples.
---------------------
I don't mean anything bad about any religion or symbols of goodness or others. Please don't be offended from my words. Just tried to write what I heard from other people.

Thanks SFS, well I am the last to be offended, but these days you never know 
Yes ofcourse I know the nazis sign. Actually in Turkey, on the walls, the Nazisign, $ and € are put with graffiti and they seem to equal capitalism to the people who would also like to see the rest of the world Turk (DTO).
But after all that happened its hard to think of it as a symbol of Peace now.

Selam Deli_Kizin, I think when Seljuks and Ottomans began to lead Islam, then all muslims embraced the crescent and star and became a symbol of İslamic world. I also watched in program ceviz kabuğu that Turks also used Nazi’s sign as a motif, it has also a meaning but i cant remember at the moment. Look at the pic of coin below with crescent and star that used by Gokturk Empire 1500 years ago.
