Why did the Most High El instruct Joshua to march around Jericho counter clockwise one time only for six days and then seven times on the seventh day? Joshua knew that these occultist had a ritual called Akitu in which the Amorites would march around their fields (counterclockwise) when Sin was at his full and glorious power.

EARLY MUSLIM COMMUNITY
The early Muslim community did not really have an acknowledged symbol. During the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), Islamic armies and caravans flew simple solid-colored flags (generally black, green, or white) for identification purposes. In later generations, the Muslim leaders continued to use a simple black, white or green flag with no markings, writing, or symbolism of any kind.
OTTOMAN EMPIRE
It wasn't until the Ottoman Empire that the crescent moon and star became affiliated with the Muslim world. When the Turks conquered Constantinople (Istanbul) in 1453 CE, they adopted the city's existing flag and symbol. Legend holds that the founder of the Ottoman Empire, Osman, had a dream in which the crescent moon stretched from one end of the earth to the other. Taking this as a good omen, he chose to keep the crescent and make it the symbol of his dynasty. There is speculation that the five points on the star represent the five pillars of Islam, but this is pure conjecture. The five points were not standard on the Ottoman flags, and are still not standard on flags used in the Muslim world today. For hundreds of years, the Ottoman Empire ruled over the Muslim world. After centuries of battle with Christian Europe, it is understandable how the symbols of this empire became linked in people's minds with the faith of Islam as a whole. The heritage of the symbols, however, really is based on links to the Ottoman empire, not the faith of Islam itself.
ACCEPTED SYMBOL OF ISLAM?
Based on this history, many Muslims reject the use of the crescent moon as a symbol of Islam. The faith of Islam has historically had no symbol, and many Muslims refuse to accept what they see as essentially an ancient pagan icon. It is certainly not in uniform use among Muslims. Others prefer to use the Ka'aba , Arabic calligraphy writing, or a simple mosque icon as symbols of the faith..
a reply to: Seede History tells us that Islam came from southern Arabia. We know when it moved out from there and conquered the adjacent lands.

Islam came from same place Christianity did, Judaism. Text
So that statement leads directly into this information. shoebat.com...
The Jews use a different calendar system based on the creation of the world....so 2010 AD is 5770 AM (Anno Moundi). If the Jewish calendar is not corrupt this means the world was created (with life) 5,770 years ago.
