MODERATORS
Means nothing to me specifically. I think the only symbol I sort of get is the crescent moon, although I don't actually know why it's important to muslims.
It means the beginning of the month
When I was a kid I learned that the crescent represented the moon at the start of Ramadan, but in truth the symbol is actually pretty arbitrary and tied up in Ottoman history and not something that all Muslims even like to use.
