Remember Saladin was a Kurd, even though most people think he was an Arab from Syria.
Actually Saladin let Jews return to Jerusalem.
Saladin's problem was he was to stupid not to understand the mentality of the Arabs.
Saladin after winning these wars against the Crusaders opposed a state for his people the Kurds.
Thats why i say to people, the 1 state solution was tried by the Kurd Saladin. Saladin won the wars but opposed a state for his people the Kurds, cause he wanted a 1 state solution with the Arabs, Turks and Iranians. How did that work out for the Kurds?
Today the Arabs have 22 countries, Iran and Turkey are 2 large countries and the Kurds have nothing.
There was a play written by a Kurdish writer a few years ago called “The Trial of Saladin.” In it Saladin is brought back from death to appear in a Kurdish court. Realising what the Arabs, Turks and Iranians did to his people, he apologises to the Kurdish nation and commits suicide knowing he was responsible for all the Kurdish suffering by opposing a Kurdish state.
So i blame Saladin for all the Kurdish suffering.
Everything bad that happened to the Kurds is cause he didn't want a state for his people.
