WHY MUSLIMS countries have a MOON in their FLAGS
The crescent moon, a symbol often associated with Islam, has a complex history. It originated in ancient civilizations and was adopted by the Ottoman Empire. Today, it's used in many Muslim-majority flags, representing faith, hope, and unity. However, it's not universal among Muslim countries and has diverse interpretations.

      @rohitrohra there are challenges in many countries, but attributing them to a religion or its symbol is not accurate or fair. Struggles in countries are often due to complex factors like politics, economics, history, or global dynamics-not a specific religion or its people and all countries suffer all countries dont have rainbow and sunshine everytime. Labeling any group or country negatively doesn’t help anyone. Struggles exist everywhere. but i think your hate for specific group of people is more than your capability to understand or respect other group of people. regardless of your hate I encourage you to take a step back and try to see things from different perspectives-it often leads to better understanding and respect for others.

    As a Turk let me give you this insight, it is NOT A CRESCENT MOON. It is a solar eclipse. Yes there is a moon in front of the sun but the crescent part is the SUN. The crescent is C shaped, moon never does that, you can observe yourself, the light part of the moon can not get past the middle line, physically impossible Also the star isnt a star, it is supposed to be the morningstar, which is actually Venus, a planet. The whole Turkish flag paints a constellation. It is a Tengrist shamanic thing more than any other belief or mythology.

      @@ElRoi-d8r INCORRECT! The word for god in Islam is “Allah” (الله) and it derived from the word for god in Aramaic, the same language Jesus spoke. I dare you to search “what is the name for god in Aramaic” also I don’t understand why you combined two words that have no meaning with each other. Also the verses you quoted literally started talking about how Abraham (AS) was him trying to find god, and not only that in the verses you quoted it literally says how he was guided from a pagan belief to a monotheistic belief. so good job contradicting your own statement 🤣 🤣

Its nothing but a tiny circle of a handful of churches, a museum, a courtyard and the home and offices of religious officials. It's a loophole for the rich and powerful, not an actual "nation".
