It's known as the Crescent City, and has been since long before Islam became an issue. It's because it's in a big crescent-shaped bend of the Mississippi River.

New Orleans was the Crescent City, describing its shape around the Mississippi River.

NO's first nickname was "The Crescent City", based on it's then geography.

New Orleans began as the crescent city, named after the curve of the river as it flows past the old docks. Perfectly natural to add that tot he city's crest. But, the Islamic extremists WHO KILLED the people on Flight 93 WERE ALL MUSLIM. And they murdered those passengers (and their intended Innocent targets on the ground!) IN THE NAME OF THEIR RELIGION.
Isn't that (by itself) reason to NOT use an Islamic crescent - oriented to Mecca, by the way, as the single of the design commemorating their murders?
Or do you favor the next Holocaust museum be designed to look like a swastika from above?

I just got done watching "Tightrope" this morning (w/Clint Eastwood)...which was filmed in New Orleans. The first thing I noticed was the Crescent Moon with a star inside it on all the cop cars. I never noticed.
