From the Kurdish Black Book

Why are many references about Kurds, which are being popularized and spread by Kurdish nationalists and historians, published in Cairo, Egypt? There are indications that many earlier works were re-edited and re-published in Cairo in the last few centuries. For example, we know that the twelve treatises of Syriac scholar Yaḥya ibn ʻAdī (893-974) of 10th century Baghdad, who was born in Tikrit, went through substantial editing and changes later in Egypt as many new versions from the 17th to 19th century appeared, but were not preserved as the original work. For example, one editor calls Yahya a “Nazarene” (naṣrānī), using the Koran exonym for Christians—one that was commonly used within the Christian community as well—but also a “Christian” (masīḥī), the endonym that was only rarely used by Muslims. These two terms alternate freely in the text of the first editor, but the second editor does not use "masīḥī" at all. Source: "An Egyptian History of Syriac" By Josh Mugler 2019, North American Syriac Symposium One fact that needs to be stressed here is that the city of Tikrit was a center of the Syriac Orthodox Church. Several centuries before Yaḥyá’s lifetime, the Church of the East patriarch Íšoʿyahb III (d. ca. 658) referred to Tikrīt as “the great city of the heretics” for its deep associations with the Syriac Orthodox Church (Jacobites). Tikrit was a Syriac speaking Christian city even after the spread of Islam. Have some books of the medieval period been edited and certain terms like Kurds and Akrad inserted in the edited versions in Cairo? Tikrit, the Christian center.

In order to understand how Arabs in the Abbasid period adopted the ethnonym “Kurd” & applied it to nomads, Ardavān’s letter to Ardashīr is the best example. In the Persian version, Ardavān calls Ardashīr a "child" from the villages of Istakhr; there is no mention of Kurds. /1

What did the great Armenian fighter Arman Tsarukyan who understands history says in public? Why he said that? Because he understood the truth that kurdistan did not, and still does not, exist as a country and that the Kurds were nomads, not to insult, but to stress a historical fact. youtube.com/watch?v=2e7FgUyO…

The Kurdish tribal division between Barzani and Talabani (and other tribes such as Harki, for example) is not something new. The Kurds NEVER united, because they always were tribal fighting each other. This fact is not coming from nowhere, Kurds themselves admit to this fact. In fact, in the greatest publication on Kurdish history as far as Kurds are concerned, Sharaf Khan Bitlisi himself stated this fact in the 16th century. A passage by Bitlisi in the 1597 Sharafnama reads; “Within the Kurdish nation, none follows nor concurs with the other, nor is their solidarity amongst them,” which he interprets as a complaint at the inability of the Kurds to unite and, therefore, assert statehood. (See Hassanpour, “Making the Kurdish Identity: Pre-20th Century Historical and Literary Discourses,” page 113). (For the original source, see Şerefhan, Şerefname, page 22).

You could ask foreigners to listen to what a particular improved Turk said about Kurdish history. I need not to. I know the Kurdish history, a history that emerged with the Sassanids, expanded with Islam, a history of various tribes speaking Iranian based languages and dialects. I know the Kurdish history of tribes like Baban, Soran, Botan, Bahdinan, etc. that were at continuous battles and raids among each other, a history of massacres of the indigenous people, and abduction of indigenous young girls and boys that were forced into Islamization and kurdification. I know that history. I am the son of that land, drank from the Tigris and Zab Rivers and for years walked daily on the land that was the greatest Nineveh -- I am not a foreigner who needs your fake lessons. Kurdish history is a LEGO and Crayola molding clay for kids constructed with lies, myths and manipulations by politicians, losers and greedy so-called historians seeking riches. I do not need anyone to tell me what Kurdish history really is-- an Islamic based history. Every word that begins with a "K" does not mean a reference to the term Kurd (original Kwrt, meaning tent-dweller nomad). Your language is not based on the languages of the Kassites, Hurrians, Gutians, Elamites or Sumerians who were, first, not Indo-Iranians, and, second, they were language isolate. Tell the Soran Hamarash, Mehrdad Izady, Fadil Mirani, etc. etc. to continue the construction of the new and improved Kurdish history that will come down crashing some day.

Iraqi Judge and Deputy Wael Abd al-Latif bravely states the facts. Northern Iraq is historic Assyria (Ashur) and not Kurdistan and Ashur created the Assyrian civilization. facebook.com/reel/1064932159…

An Alawite assert that the Alawites is not only a religion, but a way of life that personify their identity, race (means perhaps ethnicity) and all principles of life and that is why we say we are Alawites. However, others keep claiming that we are Muslims, Turks, nationalists, Kurds, but we are Alawites and we want the others to respect us as Alawites. facebook.com/reel/2637200469…
