If Islam worhips the moon because it uses a lunar calendar then do the Jews worship the sun and the moon because they use a combined solar/lunar calendar that requires a leap month every third year or so? What do Catholics worship since Easter, their second holiest holiday, depends on the date of the full moon AND the vernal equinox to determine what day it falls on?

I'll agree that many people don't want to know the truth about Islam. And if they do they won't get it from you.

This kind of response is nothing less than a, ahem, non-sequitur!

The Crescent Moon is the clue and it goes right past you, evidently. It is to Islam what the Cross is to Christianity. It is Islam's primary symbol.

Everything in Islam revolves around the Moon, literally so with its calendar, but the same with its symbology.

The unasked question is why the fasting from Crescent Moon to Crescent Moon? Why the omnipresence of lunar symbols all over the place in that culture?
