Can someone explain me why the Arab nation identifies itself

It was first a Byzantine symbol, then when the Turks took over they started using it, then in the 20th century it became a symbol for Islam in general

Anon, that symbol predates the Byzantines by millennia

>>1592143
Arabs used moon symbolism long before the Conquest of Constantinople.

>>1592063

It has a double meaning. The crescent moon is also a reference to the horned moon goddess Isis

here we go again..

ask me how i know you didn't do a single research

>>1592246

how do you know i didn't do a single research?

>>1592230
Proofs?

>>1592257

1.the fact that you don't know early muslims (aka muhammad and his people) didn't have any symbols on their flags, just white,green, or black colors for identifications

2.the fact that muhammad told all pagans (including egyptian and hubal worshippers) to fuck off, Therefore the crescent cannot be a pagan symbol. (hubal worshippers and muhammad's people actually had a war)

It was popularised by the Ottoman Empire, but it had been used since the Crusades at the earliest. This may be a Wikipedia link, but it's accurate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_and_crescent#Middle_Ages_and_Renaissance

>>1592268
Like i said earlier, muhammad --despised having symbols-- and therefore had coloured flags just for identifications

the reason crescent moon exists is because of the ottoman empire who conquered almost all muslim land,


It's pretty much cultural, and doesn't have anything with the religion itself

Why Muhammad hate symbols?

>>1592267
They still worship Hubal.

Hubal = HaBaal = the Baal of the Moabites, Mohammad's father's god = allah

>>1592424
They were deemed paganic or as idolatry.

>>1592281
The statue of the pagan god they worship, Hubal, literally has a crescent moon in his lap.

>>1592281
That's not true though, why do crescent symbols appear frequently predating the ottoman empire in Muslim culture?
You're full of shit you fucking fag

>>1592434
And? like i said, muhammad despised having symbols. and the use of crescent moon was only used during the ottoman empire

>>1592445
>why do crescent symbols appear frequently predating the ottoman empire in Muslim culture?

nope, the only flags muhammad's people had was the shada (the phrase), and just solid colours. no symbols

>>1592445
It is a little strange; it's hard to say it's because they kept a lunar calendar, because the Hebrews also kept a lunar calendar.

I guess if your enemies worship the sun, you worship the moon.

>>1592452
You realize today most islamic countries have a moon on their flag, yes? As a sign they worship the moon god of the Canaanites, Hubal?

>>1592431
>Hubal = HaBaal = the Baal of the Moabites, Mohammad's father's god = allah

confirmed for never knowing any middle eastern history

allah, hubal, and baal are seperate things

Baal was the god of the phoenicians

Hubal was the god of arab pagans

Allah literally stands for "god" in arabic,

And those three names you listed don't even remotely look similar, why do you even tie them to each other?

>>1592452
Yet the Seljuk Turks were using it before the ottoman empire was even a fucking thing
Just because they were running around with plain scraps of cloth in 600ad don't mean they stuck to plain scraps of cloth until the modern era

>>1592456
yes you nigger, arab countries have crescents on their flags, because it was cultural, because they were all conquered by turkey at some points, so they keep it as history/heritage thing

>>1592431
Holy shit

You mean this entire time we've been unwitting pagans?

t. Arab Christian

>>1592457
It's one and the same pagan god, the god of Mohammad's father, the main god of the kaaba, and the main god of the Qureshi.

A = B Allah is Baal
B = C Baal is Chemosh
A = C Allah is Chemosh

And Hubal is the Baal of the Moabites, not the Phoenicians.

>>1592463
So moon god worshipers put moons on their flags as a sign they worship the moon god.

Glad we could agree on that very basic fact.

>>1592464
No Christian prays to allah.

>>1592473
Except y'know, Arabs

Why are you worshiping God/Dios/Whoeverthe fuck?

>>1592481
Muslims pray to allah, but it's unclear if demons can even hear prayers, unless they're in the vicinity.

>>1592481
>Why are you worshiping God/Dios/Whoeverthe fuck?

Purely selfish reasons, I assure you.

>>1592225
No fucking shit, I wonder why.

>>1592490

Cause the crescent moon is one of the earliest recorded symbols man developed, being that the moon has been with us from the beginning and all

>>1592473
>tfw Jesus spoke Aramaic
>tfw god in Aramaic is Allah
Good to know that Jesus was a pagan you fucking retarded Burger

>>1592564
No Christian, and no God, prays to allah.

>>1592460
>Yet the Seljuk Turks were using it before the ottoman empire was even a fucking thing
Yes, because they were Turks, using Turk symbols such as the crescent. Muhammad and his Arabs didn't use it. Even nowadays most Arab countries don't use it. Look at flags such as Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, U.A.E. or even the ISIS flag for example. They are colored banners incorporating the Arab colors of red, white, black, and green, often including Islamic religious text, but have no crescents to be found. Turk flags, on the other hand, often have stars and crescents. Look at the flags of Turkey, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, etc. for examples. Even the flag of Mongolia incorporates a crescent into its emblem.
