The crescent only became associated with Islam during the Ottoman rule anyway.

We should make a list of "Can X Religion be Good Americans?" and eventually conclude that the only good Americans are atheists.

Somehow, the argument that Allah is derived from a moon god is extremely devastating in the eyes of fuckwits. Wonder how THEY feel when they learn that the God they worship is linked to sun worship?

Just like Islam's flaws, Christian fundie morons happily point out pagan origins and influences in Islam without recognising their own.

I once had a fucktard seriously tell me that Christmas was never a pagan holiday, as Christians invented holidays because holiday = holy day, and holy = Christian and nothing else!

That would be a hilarious parody of Christians, if only it weren't true.
