Star and crescent in Islam
First reaction
As for the symbol, Muslims worship Allah (God), therefor they reject any kind of idol worshipping. We believe that Christians believe in the cross to be a symbol of their God, or the so claimed Son of God. They seek blessing and protection from this cross. Muslims seek protection and blessing only from Allah, that is why we do not have an Islamic symbol as the Christians’ cross. Some Muslims have invented the symbol of a crescent to counter the cross, but this is not authentic and it is considered as an innovation in Islam.

Second reply
- First point: why should it be an issue that the site is following the Salafi methodology?
- Second point: why is it considered to be an 'hardline' methodology?
- Third point: I can't speak french.
- Last point: You could use the flag of Saudi-Arabia or the text contained in it.
