The crescent moon and star symbol actually pre-dates Islam by several thousand years.

There are also reports that the crescent moon and star were used to represent the Carthaginian goddess Tanit or the Greek goddess Diana as ornament

The crescent moon symbol of Islam is a remnant of ancient pagan moon worship.
