I think it is more about the popularity of Polaris Fashion Place and the area is swelling with growth.

What is the importance of Polaris in Islam

The image of the star and moon on most flags of islamic countries is not actually a star, but Venus, and it is not actually the crescent moon but the horns of the bull. Islam has taken many older symbols from prior regional religions and redefined them.

Hi TBall. Interesting question. I don’t know, but I plan to do some research later this week. I imagine there is a connection. I’ll ping you if I find out something.
