Also Muslim cemeteries have crosses on them and Kingdom Halls for Jehovah's
Witnesses will get crosses if you use Religion:Christian or if you take out
the religion tag and leave only denomination:jehovahs_witness you end up
with a generic religion icon that has many symbols on it.

So for Muslim I know you can use the (* symbol, but there's no real icon
usable for JWs.  Maybe the little black house with the cross on top but with
the cross removed.  I think that symbol is already there.
