#4 Yeah, this one looks better to me also. Though it still looks bottom-heavy -- I think that it would have looked better had they made the stripes vertical and placed them on the left side.

#5 Aris is right I think.

Why always a moon? What is the symbolism?

#8 ex-lib> This link here: http://islam.about.com/library/weekly/aa060401a.htm says that the crescent moon was linked with Islam only after the Ottoman empire conquered Constantinople -- that it was an earlier symbol of that city dating back to the worship of Artemis as a moon-goddess.

I admit I'd never heard of that before -- I'd not even heard that Constantinople had such a symbol. So take with a grain of salt.
