Does Muslim flag have cresent moon to honor Mohammed, the moon diety?

The Moon deity is a myth that originated in the middle east,one of their many gods before Muhammed came along.\n\nIn Persian mythology, Mah is literally and figuratively "the moon", queen of the night. Mah is also the Persian language name of a species of fish, which gives rise to the Persian language expression, az mah ta mahi, "from the moon to the moon", to mean "everything". That expression has its origin in Persian mythology, where the world is believed to sit on a rock, on the back of a bull, on a kamkam, on the back of the mah fish, on water, on wind, and on the veil of darkness.\n\nMuhammed didn't acknowledge any moon god in any of my readings of the Quran. Muhummad made up the Quran, another myth, to justify his sinful nature.\n\nHe did alot of bad things, like looting and plundering;\n\nhttp://www.faithfreedom.org/Articles/sina/looting.htm\n\nI don't think that honor should be given to Muhammed the "Child Molester"\n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/AntiJihad/mo_pedo.html

Think rally hard. The moon has gravity just like the earth. Have you ever seen a flag on earth stand that straight? They had a metal pole across the top and the grainy video make it look as if it is fluttering.

An ignorant answer from our friend swag 2d. \n\nThe crescent moon isn't "used" for anything, but has become a symbol of the Muslim faith.  Interestingly, the moon and star came long before the very notion of Islam and probably dates back to pagan times.  The city of Byzantium (once Constantinople and now Istanbul) adopted the crescent moon as a symbol of the city.  During the fall of Constantinople in 1453, the Ottomans adopted (as they did for a great deal of their culture) this symbol as the symbol of the Muslim faith.\n\nHope this helps.

Hi Richie.\n\nI got the Best Answer prize for a very similar question a few dyas ago on here that asked if you can see the American flag from Earth. The answer and the reason is exactly the same - so here it is again,\n\nThe Hubble Space telescope's maximum resolution is such that an entire Apollo landing site and exploration area are only 1/20th of a pixel. Hubble was designed with deep space astronomy in mind.\n\nEven the new OWL telescope (see Link 1) would only resolve the entire site to 2 pixels and would therefore not be enough to see the flag.\n\nIf your question is to prove that man actually walked on the moon then you need look no further than the Laser Reflector Experiment which constantly laser measures the distance between earth and moon. If the astronauts had never made it to the moon, they would not have been able to deploy these reflectors. (see Link 2) \n\nSource(s):\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/2116...\n\nhttp://www.lpi.usra.edu/expmoon/apollo11...\n\n\nPlease ignore the last bit - coz thankfully it looks like you are not one of those nutters !

Talking symbolically about the moon!

Really, it means nothing. The largest Islamic empire there ever was was the Turkish Ottoman Empire. The Turkish Ottoman Empire used the star and cresent as their symbol. Because they were the largest Islamic empire, they have influenced Islamic architechture. That's why. The star and cresent can be seen on Turkey's flag today.

Meaning of the flag\nIt's very difficult to explain the real meaning of a flag; there are legends, actual stories, and outright misinformation about the reason of certain colors or designs were put on national flags. Also individuals may have their own interpretation of their own national flag. Religious symbolism can also be expressed via color, such as the crescent moon which is a traditional Islamic symbol. \n\nHistorical facts:\n"Red has been prominent in Turkish flags for 700 years. The star and crescent are Muslim symbols, but also have a long pre-Islamic past in Asia Minor. The basic form of the national flag was apparently established in 1793 under Ottoman Sultan Selim III, when the green flags used by the navy were changed to red and a white crescent and multi-pointed star were added. The five-pointed star dates from approximately 1844. Except for the issuance of design specifications, no change was made when the Ottoman Empire became the Republic of Turkey and the Caliphate (religious authority) was terminated by Ataturk. Many traditions explain the star and crescent symbol. It is known that Diana (Artemis) was the patron goddess of Byzantium and that her symbol was a moon. In 330, the Emperor Constantine rededicated the city - which he called Constantinople (today's Istanbul) - to the Virgin Mary, whose star symbol was superimposed over the crescent. In 1453 Constantinople (Istanbul) was captured by the Ottoman Turks and renamed Istanbul, but its new rulers may have adopted the existing emblem for their own use"\n\nLegends:\n"A reflection of the moon occulting a star, appearing in pools of blood after the battle of Kosovo in 1448, the battle during which the Ottomans defeated the Christian forces and established the Ottoman Empire in Eastern Europe until the end of the 19th century, led to the adoption of the Turkish flag by Sultan Murad II according to one legend. Others refer to a dream of the first Ottoman Sultan in which a crescent and star appeared from his chest and expanded, presaging the dynasty's seizure of Constantinople (Istanbul). There are other legends explaining the flag."

I am sure it would have been much more controversial if Rolling Stone called him Mohammed rather than Jesus. Christians have always had art with people in them. Muslims have always said it was wrong to have any art with god or the prophet in it.

No.\n\nIn September 1961 Syria revolted and 29 September the old flag of Siyria  was raised as the national flag. In the center of the flag are three red stars which stand for the Arab revolutions (although certain western sources clain thay represent Damascus, Aleppo and Deir ez Zor). \n\nhttp://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/sy-his2.html#1961\n\ns

Your question has been answered.  In fact, even the largest telescopes do not have the resolving capacity to see a flag on the moon.  \n\nWhy would you think it was faked?

Yes it is. Most of the worlds wars started over religion and this is further proof.\n\nThe Danish imams, who protested the publication of 12 Muhammad cartoons [see them all below] in the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten last September, have announced that they want to end the dispute. For four months the imams and their radical Muslim organizations have unsuccesfully demanded government censorship. However, despite immense pressure (also from international organizations such as the UN and the EU) the Danish government refused to call the newspaper to account.\n\nLast week a couple of Norwegian papers decided to publish the cartoons in support of the Danish paper while in Denmark moderate Muslims, encouraged by the government’s refusal to be intimidated by the radicals, have distanced themselves from the imams. The latter announced on Friday that they no longer demand apologies from Jyllands-Posten for the publication. Instead they said they just want two things: a guarantee from the Danish authorities that Muslims can freely practice their religion without being “provoked and discriminated.” And a declaration from Jyllands-Posten that the cartoons were not published with the intention of mocking the Muslim faith. “We want Jyllands-Posten to show respect for the Muslims. This can happen with an apology, but it can also happen in some other way. We will leave it to Jyllands-Posten to come up with some ideas,” said Ahmed Akkari, spokesman of the Muslim organizations. “We want respect for Muhammad restored and we want him to be described as the man he really was in history, and that he gets the respect he deserves,” Akkari stressed that Muslim organizations are still deeply opposed to the publication of the cartoons.
