only informations I might bring is
- the crescent is not (repeat, NOT) official symbol of Islam.
- appear, just with Ottomans when they took over Istanbul, the crescent was the town's symbol, they decided to use it as their own.
but no direct linkage with the Islamic religion,more,
some Muslims consider the use of any symbol,
and especially the crescent moon which was originally pagan, to be a sin.
