Kurds
The Kurds are a topic by itself. The thing is minus religion, Turks and Iranians were having historical disliking and quarrels with the Kurds. That had not to do with Islam. I mean if you as a state well known in the world, you try to down play the minority or the ones you are having fight with. It may be both parties are wrong but world gets to hear one side. I mean then they did not have internet: so, no Facebook, twitter and You tube. The world had to rely on what Persians had to say on the Kurds.

Letter to the Muslim Community or Ummah
” We hope in Allah most high, to whom be praise, who leads the hearts of Muslims to calm what torments them and ruins their prosperity.
Where is the sense of honour of Muslims? The pride of Believers? The Zeal of the Faithful?
We shall never cease to be amazed at how the disbelievers for their part have shown trusts, and it is the Muslims who have been lacking in zeal. Not one of them has responded to the call. Not one intervenes to straighten what is distorted; but observe how far the Franks have gone what unity they have achieved. What aims they pursue. What help they have given. What sums of money they have borrowed and spent. What wealth they have collected and distributed and divided amongst them. There is not a King left in their lands or islands, not a lord or a rich man who has not competed with his neighbours to produce more support and rival his peers in strenuous military efforts. In defense of their religion they consider it a small thing to spend life and soul; and they have kept their infidel brothers supplied with arms and champions of war; and all they have done and all their generosity has been purely out of zeal for him they worship in jealous defense of their faith.
The Muslims on the other hand are weak and demoralized; they have become negligent and lazy, the victims of unproductive stupefaction and completely lacking in enthusiasm. If , Allah forbid, Islam should draw rein, obscure her splendor, blunt her sword, there would be no one, east or west, far or near who would blaze the zeal for Allah’s religion, or choose to come to the aid of truth against error.
This is the moment to cast off laziness, to summon from far and near all those men who have blood in their veins; but we are confident (he speaks about himself and the small party of believers who began with him and then became a large party); but we are confident, thanks to Allah -Alhamdulillah- in the Help that will come from him and entrust ourselves to him in sincerity of purpose and deepest devotion.
Insha Allah, the disbelievers shall perish and the faithful have a sure deliverance.”
— Salahuddin Ayyubi 12 CE “
“Tell your people, that we shall not treat them as your forebears treated us when they first took this city. As a child I was told of what Godfrey and Tancredo did to our people.”
– Salahuddin
“It is written in your stars and Allah himself will be your guide
– Salahuddin’s grandmother
