Marketing and Branding: “It’s not hard to see why ISIS clothing has found an audience in Turkey. While Turkey has denied funding militants in Syria the way that Saudi Arabia and the Gulf monarchies have, the country has helped militants in other ways, such as allowing ISIS and other Sunni jihadi forces the use of territory to access Syria.” — http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/08/11/inside-the-jihadi-gift-shop-isis-branded-hoodies-and-t-shirts-for-sale-in-response-to-growing-demand/

I’m not so much concerned with islamic slogans printed on cheap TShirts for sale in a Turkish market, as I am with the knowledge that Tatar muslims in the Ukraine were demanding that NATO should act to protect them, or else they might be forced to bring back some of their fighters from Syria...and the Western media mentions not a single word.
Scratch beneath the surface anywhere on the planet, and if there’s killing going on, more than likely you’ll find islam:

“...Some of the children of the deported—raised in Uzbekistan and now adults—have returned to become leaders. Refat Chubarov, head of the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People, the representative body of the Tatars, has called on his people—there are now approximately 300,000 Tatars in Crimea—to peacefully boycott the referendum. Nevertheless, some Crimean Tatars have vowed to oppose secession, with force if necessary. According to Western press reports, some Tatars fighting with the rebels in Syria have offered to return to join the cause...”


I’m guessing it wasn’t considered politically correct to mention the Tatars are sunni muslims...
