Exactly, nationality is a quite new thing actually.Especially in the islamic world..Ideas like he was %100 Kurdish are nonsense...as if there was a genetic science source 1000 years ago... |
Defietly true in the Islamic world, Muslim was the dominant identity then your national extraction, "Kurd", "Turk", etc were secondary things to people, most people in Anatolia did not know they were Turkish until the government told them so. It was not stressed as much, especially at his level, he was rather lower ranking in society, however, to say he was Turkish is absurd, history books, alongside primary sources cite him a Kurd, so that is what he was, the question is not wheter he was a Turk or a Kurd, we already know that he was a Kurd, but rather did he emphasize much on his Kurdish heritage or not?

He didn't emphasise his Kurdishness of course, but his family was Kurdish and those were the closest to him.
Genral note: Does anyone dispute that the Ottomans or Seljuq rulers were Turk or not? No because they were, they were Turks - so when someone states that fact that Saladin was Kurdish what's the problem with that? Why is his ethnicity not important but if someone says Ottomans were not Turks, for example, everyone will do everything to prove that they were, including me. It's just blatant anti-Kurdishness.

There have been different theories on this. Hib being Arabian, local Egyptian, Kursih and Turkish. As far as I know the most and latest trustable result is him being a Kurdish.
Guys, I say again, Being a TUrk does not mean that u have a specific blood or another, hell knows.

Why do people still argue that he wasn't of Kurdish descent?
|
They don't speak enough about the Kurds, because we have never taken hostages, never hijacked a plane. But I am proud of this.

Simply because this is a history discussion forum, and people are not robots with fixed thoughts

Funnily enough i met a Kurd who was 102 years old, what a liar had me fooled. So much thank you Lost_Janissary for real truth.
Now Turkey has been around for what 83 years that means turk history is how old....?

Open a new topic and state your unrelated thoughts out there then...You can't accuse members because you believe in one thing and he believes in another, neither you can make such pointless statements regarding nationalities. Don't cross the line...This goes for last_janissary as well.
Anyway, as topic is not fruitful anymore, I am locking it.
