Religious symbols (sometimes writings) are literally on most of the flags (and singlets) of a majority of Muslim nations.

Not sure if you read my prior post but I'm clearly not talking about country flags or team gear that represents the nation's flag.

Im talking about head bands, socks, "Muhammad trained" t-shirts... I just don't see them marketing Allah/Buddha/Shiva as one of their wrestling trainers.
 

Ive watched a good bit of international wrestling and I'm saying I still have never seen it.

Have you seen Americans with it in international comp?

But literally, Turkey's singlet is TEAM GEAR.  It has the star and crescent!

The star and crescent were originally a Byzantine symbol and thought that the star may have actually been the planet Venus.  In any event, Islam did not utilize this symbol until after Turkey did.  So it's more of a Turkish symbol than Islamic symbol at it's heart. Even though many other countries adopted this afterwards.

I had no idea he got suspended for that — how long? Was it by UWW?

UWW suspension.  Fairly short.  It was viewed as a political statement.
