Actually the homage to 'woman' comes in the form of the crescent, moon, and star. If one looks at images of Isis or Ishtar, upon her head one observes the crescent and moon/star...or even an empty thrown.

Do a minimal search on the internet and one will come across dozens of sites that illustrate the linkage between Isis, Ishtar, and the Islamic Crescent and star. I am providing a link to another forum to give you a better idea of how Islam and a 'female goddess' are indeed linked.

Is ISLAM based on PAGAN roots?

I would submit that the recognized symbol for Islam is quite feminine and in ancient times was well recognized as belonging to the goddess Isis/Ishtar.

That’s right..I forgot about that.....been awhile since I learned of that prior. However do the Muslims see this symbolism as a “female” deity?
