Oddly, the answer to that if you ask a Muslim outright, is “no.” It is forbidden by Sharia Law. But, but they know the symbolism belongs to the goddess Ishtar...the Great Harlot of Babylon! And some of the mythology around the black stone in Mecca, which predates Islam, points to this being the one of the many venerations of the moon goddesses. You might find this link interesting reading http://www.truthbeknown.com/islam.htm

It is widely accepted in even modern paganism that Ishtar is the Great Harlot. Her priestesses were known as harlots as well. Modern paganism has two sides to it if you will. There is the ‘lighter’ side, Wicca etc. and once you get past that ‘lighter’ side and scratch beneath the surface you will find the ancient gods.

The link was interesting as posters communicated their thoughts on the matter. What was most interesting, and not surprising, were the Muslims who simply cannot or refuse to accept the obvious....facts cannot penetrate the mind of an astute Muslim....the indoctrination prevents that consideration.

I recall a study I did on pagan idols......I believe rooted in Tammaz or something similar to that name.....and the origins of many of the pagan idols and beliefs. All which seem to have originated from marriage or intermarriage between their Gods and the offsprings from.

I do believe that most Muslims have no interest in learning of their history outside of Ilsamic literature....it’s very much frowned upon and even punished should they do so. Additionally they communicate with those outside Islam in order to convert them to Islam....and what all their community services are motivated from...recruitment and conversions. Most often to those who are having difficulty in marriage or abuse...the more feeble minded Americans...who have long ago abandoned Christianity...so they are prime targets and easily fooled by Islamic. teaching.
