The roots of the crescent moon symbol obviously pre-dates Islam. In ancient Egypt, the crescent moon was the symbol of Isis, the Mother of the Gods. And it symbolized the goddess Diana in ancient Rome. Across multiple pantheons, the crescent moon essentially represents the divine female. And it's undeniable that satanism emphasizes a female goddess, over the "male" Almighty God. The crescent probably has a connection to the "Horns of Saturn" symbol, as well - essentially a crescent moon up-turned.

In short, The New York Times serves Satan. It's pretty obvious, and finding the symbol hidden within their logo only further confirms the fact.
