That's true - the Holy Trinity concept blew the entire monotheistic concept.
I'd say that, in particular, Catholicism is more attached to paganism than most
Xian religions, given its particular preledictions towards ceremony and ritual,
but all are based upon the rule of three as one.
This, however, is a problem of misunderstanding:

Allah == God. It's the same word, it's just in a different language. In fact,
Muslims worship the very same God as Xians and Jews, in basis. However, to Islam
Mohammed is a prophet, as is Jesus and Moses. To Jews, Jesus is a prophet. To
Xians, Jesus is the Son of God, e.g. one and the same. But they all derive from
the exact same teachings in origin. If you wish, Islam is more modern, in that
it came along later than Xianity, which followed Judaism. However, they still
are based upon the same initial writings.
You are correct in the origins of the crescent moon and star - they are Turkish,
and have pagan origins. However, this symbol has never, ever been representative
of Islam, as it is against their belief to worship idols or symbols. The
crescent is found upon national symbols, such as flags in nations who have Turks
living within them, but it is a mistake to associate these symbols with the
religion of the people who live there.
