I would argue though that Islam is both a political ideology and a religion. Howeverz he religious aspect isn't rooted in Abrahamic Law like the Judaism and Christianity. It's rooted in the Adversary's laws.
The reason I say this is that in Islam, Allah is known as "Allah, the Son of Alla't." Their Crescent Moon and Star flag is a representation of this. Allah't is the Moon Goddess and Allah is the Morning Star. Allah is also known to the ancient Gnostics as the Demiurge, aka Yaldabaoth. Yaldabaoth was born from the Moon Goddess, where she veiled her son's eyes and deceived him into believing he was the true Creator.
This concept is why all Muslims say their god is stronger and better than our God. They've been deceived wholesale by the Adversary into believing their ultimate death cult is an Abrahamic religion. It's why they fight to the death when they go to war.
Im pretty sure the reason why the present moon is the symbol is because the Muslims conquered Constantinople and the city emblem/flag was the present moon and star. Therefore they see themselves as the new romans who are to conquer the world. But you're spot on about it being a political ideology masquerading as a religion
I heard it once called "a political ideology disguised as a religion".
