Crescent Moon - symbol

Coat of Arms of Portsmouth, England

(from Portsmouth City Council website - see below).

Below: Pompey Crest on Malaysian Cars

A lot of cars in Malaysia have the national symbols of crescent moon and star on them (this photo was from a taxi near Pudu Market). The crescent and star are typical symbols of Islam.

There are remarkable similarities between the Crescent and Star used by Malaysia and ancient Coat of Arms of Portsmouth England -

The Portsmouth Arms were also a reference to Islam - although in this case it goes back to a fleet that left Portsmouth for the Crusades in 1191. Strange , after a thousand years, some people are still fighting the same battle.

I keep think I am seeing cars of Pompey supporters when I am here in KL. As the club crest is almost identical to that used by Malaysia (apart from number of points on the star)
