===Islamic Symbology===
The most famous symbol in Islam is the Greco-Roman crescent (and star) which can be found on numerous flags through the Muslim world. The symbol, which was originally derived in Babylon, Rome, depicts a crescent moon indicative of the underworld along with a five-pointed star which represents the steering hand (five fingers) of Rome. Interestingly, regions which practice Islam today (e.g., the Balkans, North Africa and the Middle East form what appears to be a crescent shape south of Europe. Aside from the Roman Domes which top most mosques in the Africa, the Middle East and Asia (including the controversial Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem), the Minarets (which were likely named after Minos of Crete) which adorn these mosques are Greco-Roman phallic symbols appears to double as obelisks.
