Mohammed and the Crescent Moon.
Mohammad that old Polytheist of multi Deities
When wandering thru crusty lands heard...
Vociferations in the wind...
And what he heard was Christians
New followers of Christ...
One God they said..just one !
Be rid of all the Old Divinities
Goddess of Moon ...Divine Fecundity
Totemic animals.. Spirits of tree and land..
Be done with Demigods and Providence
And raise up one All Powerful
Omnipotent supreme...
A SuperMan
...to rule on Everything
...no woman near the alter.
Impressed Mohammed canting in wild dreams
Reflected on Monotheism might
Then... quick as overnight
....converted by the Christians
Dropped 300 Pagan Gods....
Allah he saved and made as The Divine and Single God
To rule both over Sky and Earth.
All that remained of women was the moon
The Crescent Moon...she sits on every Mosque.
