re: #240 Gus 802

The crescent and the star of their flag and that Turkey is essentially an Islamic nation. They claim the plan was based on this.

I must insist that Turkey is a secular kinda-sorta-democracy with a majority Muslim population. Ataturk would want me to mention that.

I can vaguely see the charge that the semi-circle is actually a crescent, I think it’s ridiculous, but you can sort of see what they mean, visually speaking.

I just can’t think of a reason why if you were gonna secretly work a Muslim visual in, you’d pick the flag of Turkey, specifically. They’re not exactly jihad central, what with their yammering to get into the EU. Hell, they’re in NATO.
