Kurds

So over half my extended family are Turks, whoa, thanks for enlightening me. Enough with this tired crap! Kurds are Kurds and have nothing to do with Turks culturally except Islam!  These blond Kurds you talk about made up the bulk of the Sassanid Azatan in western Iran, and I know the type of blond you mean.

About the Kurds of Armenia - they are called Yezidi, because they aren't Muslims. They have their own paganistic religion (yezidism).

He was an ethnic Kurd, but what did he do for the Kurdish nation? He didn't conquer to create some kind of Kurdish empire. 

And about those Kurds of Armenian origin - it is well known that ever since the conquest of Armenia by the seljuks, many Armenians converted to Islam. In certain regions, Kurds were the majority Muslim group, so they became Kurds. In the Ottoman system, only the Christian Armenians were considered Armenians, so the Islamicized Armenians were assimilated by others.

Well, Zagros, I think as a mod, you shouldnt respond idiotic and extreme nationalistic claims the same way. Of course Kurds arent related with Turks in origin at all, but we share lots of common things, culturel elements, history etc with them.

And those arent Kurds, but mainly Zazas. Those Zazas are mainly descendent from Kurdicized Armenians who once mixed with Georgians. That's why they have lots of blondes.

Please end this nonsense mountain Turk things. They are boring...

Sallahaddin was neither a Turk, nor a Kurd. He was a Muslim. His father was Kurd in origin who served Zengi, a Seljuk vizier, as I know.

Right.

Well, claiming Salahaddin is a national hero for Kurds is as nationalist as this. He was only an Islamic hero. Mameluks were Turkish Kipchak slaves in origin but we dont consider Tuman Bay or Aybeg as Turkish national heros.
