No, this is actually not as silly as it might sound at first glance. What we today call the Star of David was known in the medieval Islamic world as the "Seal of Soloman", and was a popular symbol, particularly in Anatolia. From wiki, here is the flag of Candar, a state in northern Turkey that was eventually annexed by the Ottomans
The flag of Karamin (another pre-Ottoman Anatolian state) supposedly contained a blue six-pointed star. The Morroccan flag also had a green six-pointed star until 1915, when it was changed to the present five-pointed star.
So, my question is, what if the Ottomans had happened to adopt a flag with a big six-pointed star on it, like Candar's. Would the "Star of David" come to be seen as an Islamic symbol? If so, what would become the symbol for Judaism?
