Ummm Isn’t the Red Cross called the “Red Crescent” in the Muslim world to avoid offending them?

Lately I'm starting to have monthly periods of aggrevation when I walk across the street at night and I see the moon as a sickle in the sky. I strongly feel that this sikcle should be replaced by a less religious related symbol.

Did you know the Mir space station originally designed to project an image of a massive hammer superimposed over the crescent moon?
