Qizilbash

And theye are differnt from shiia in other regions. kizilbash's become muslim but they save some of their shamanic traditions more then sunni Turks and they choose Hz. Ali ass leader becouse he was more fighter then hz. Muhammed.

Unfortunately some turks fought against eachother in history...Selim I-Shah Ismail, Beyaz�d-Temur, Mehmed II-Uzun Hasan and some other..These are brother struggles

Originally posted by Tazz88 Im just wondering, kizilbash is redhead in turkish, so they must be a turkic tribe, but they defended the savadid state, which was persian culturally ant ethnicaly,some of them speak old persian languages and all are shiite muslims i know the strong nationalism of turkish people and their love to they country , culture(language) and ancestry. I can�t imagine turkic people fightng another turks?? This is why im asking.Who cares about my age???.

Why are you relating all things to Aryans? in Iran there live many ethnicities. Safavids wasn't persian, they were turkish by ethnicity, but iranian by nationality. Qizilbash had faught Ottoman sunnits becouse they were shiits and they considered themselves as Iranians.
