Two Israeli Bedouins kidnapped, then released, in Turkey

Why Armenia, a Christian country, when the Bedouin are Muslim?
were kidnapped -- and later released -- by an unidentified group in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
, Israeli authorities said Saturday.

The kidnappers demanded that members of the students’ families pay a ransom, or else the two would be sold to the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more.

 group, according to Channel 10.
Why would ISIS buy them?
The students were released Saturday, and are currently at a cop shoppe in the southern Turkish city of Mersin, the Foreign Ministry said, adding no further comment.

The two had apparently been in Turkey in order to purchase gold.
...good prices on jewelry for mothers, sisters, and future wives.
No further details concerning the incident were made public.
