A symbol of mockery and contempt
By VictorM:A few days ago I had a post about Baris Kaska, a Turkish lawyer who was offended by the jerseys that the Inter Milan soccer team used. He claimed that the jerseys were reminiscent of the crusades and offensive to Muslims.
Here's another take on that incident:
If you type Baris Kaska into a search engine, you will quickly stumble across a litany of unpleasant, far-right websites where the story is used as another stick with which to beat Islam. And there, time and again, you will find contributors to the 'discussion' asking where they can get their hands on the shirt, to display their God-fearing, homespun Christianity. And so the shirt becomes a symbol of mockery and contempt after all.
