OK I have just come across some muslim websites that say that the cresent and star was originally the symbol of Constantinople and it was only adopted as an Islamic symbol after the fall of this city. It made me want to write a timeline about the Byzantine empire there and then but I was wondering if is true (wikapedia seems to confirm it) and if so how did it become so universally used among Muslime. Does anyone else have any other facts that are similar?
