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!

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