Translation needed on Kilij koftgari

To me, Shia relation is not surprizing at all, as in history much more Turks in Turkey were Alevi which is close to Shia about love to Ali, and all Azerbaijan population and Iran Azeris are still shia. Kilij was used not only by sunni Turks but all of these. It could easily be ordered by an shia customer and be decorated according to his wishes. Plus, the love of shiites to Ali doesnt mean that Sunnis hate him or dont respect him. I think especially his bravery,legendary sword and wars were famous and admired among all in past. This sympathy can be an addition to the explanation of the popularity of these slogans.
