Let's go back to normal. I miss Martin's penguin (or will smith), Erik's dutch flag, baggio superman logo, and most of all, my water drop. :touched:

But the water drop isnt back?? Something else is!
Just a small tribute to the great men and women who've done wonders non-stop for the past week.

Besides, do you think anything related to water would be appropriate given what's going on?

Think he means the star+moon sign that appears in the flags of many Muslim nations.

And whatever it is; that ain't no waterdrop OR your own face Mr :lazy:
Oh, ok... I never made that connection. As a muslim, i don't know where that star in the flags of many islamic nations came from.

BTW, FYI, the NOPD has a badge because New Orleans is called "The crecent city," because the Mississippi river goes around the city in a crescent shape. :)

......
I'm getting tired of seeing my face in every post!

ya it has no religious foundation. It is just because the Islamic calander is a lunar calander hence the cresent.

I don't know where did it came from but it's muslims sign just like cross is sign of christianism
Not a Mjuslim sign to me and millions of others.

The Cross is obvious. The star, on the other hand, has nothing to do with Islam. My wild guess, somebody put a star next to a crescent because he did a poor-ass job drawing the crescent that he had to put a star next to it to make it show that it's in the sky. Eventually, the star got bigger and stuck with us. :D

Even the crescent is not a symbol for Islam. We don't have a symbol.
