The first and most important "True Cross of Jesus" was allegedly found by Helena on a pilgrimage to Palestine, where she found the cross of Jesus and those of the two robbers, all still intact, as well as uncovering the places of Jesus' birth, crucifixion and burial, and various other important relics. When Helena left Palestine, she took several pieces of wood from the True Cross.

The custody of the True Cross was entrusted to the bishop of Jerusalem, who gratified the devotion of the pilgrims by the gift of small pieces, which they enchased in gold or gems and carried away to their respective countries. As the commerce would soon have depleted what remained of the cross, it was found convenient to suppose that the marvelous wood possessed a secret power of vegetation, and that its substance, though continually diminished, remained entire and unimpaired.

After an eventful history, the True Cross is believed to have been hidden by the Christians in 1009 CE and remained hidden until 1099, during the First Crusade. It is said that the Moslem leader Saladin captured the cross at the Battle of Hattin in 1187.

Was the True Cross that Saladin is reported to have captured really the same one on which Jesus was crucified, and which had somehow survived intact for so many centuries, even after large quantities of the wood had been traded with the pilgrims, was it an artefact of Helena's self-delusion, or was it a clever but fraudulent device intended at first to encourage Christian faith and later to sustain Church revenue?

Partially. The first major trial against Saddam Hussein was only focused on one particularly large attack perpetrated against Shiite Muslims in the southeast of the country (the Dujail Massacre).

As for the Al-Anfal Campaign (which is the "polite" term for the Genocide of Iraqi Kurds), in December 2006 Saddam was put on trial for the genocide during Operation Anfal. The trial for the Anfal campaign was still underway on December 30, 2006, when Saddam Hussein was executed for his role in the unrelated Dujail Massacre.

The Anfal trial recessed on December 21, 2006, and when it resumed on January 8, 2007, the remaining charges against Saddam Hussein were dropped since he was now dead. Six co-defendants continued to stand trial for their roles in the Anfal campaign. On 23 June 2007 Ali Hassan al-Majid, and two co-defendants Sultan Hashem Ahmed and Hussein Rashid Mohammed were convicted of genocide and related charges and sentenced to death by hanging. Another two co-defendants (Farhan Jubouri and Saber Abdel Aziz al-Douri) were sentenced to life imprisonment, and one (Taher Tawfiq al-Ani) was acquitted on prosecution's demand.

Al-Majid was eventually hanged on 25 January 2010.

No.

Saladin was Moslem.

NO. The Arabs are the largest ethnic group in Southwest Asia. There are at least 150 million Arabs in the Middle East, whereas there are only 35 million Kurds.

hes goal was to recapture Jerusalem from the christians to take back his holy land as yous all know it was important to him

There have been several ethnic cleansings/genocides in modern Turkish history. The largest was the Armenian Genocide with 1.8 million Armenians murdered. There were also a number of massacres of Greek civilians during the Balkan Wars and the War of Turkish Independence. During the 1980s to the present, there has been repression and cultural cleansing of the Kurds. (However, the Kurds were not murdered en masse, so there was no ethnic cleansing per se.)

saladin died of a short illness, at the age of 54, which was quite old in those times

i Dont know that answer buddd

I don't know if you mean his battle standard, if that is what he chose, but I can imagine the reason he chose the eagle is because it is a predatory bird that once it has its sights set on its prey, it ALWAYS gets the kill. Always, without fail; among birds, the raptor family are the most formidable predators in the animal kingdom. They have I think somewhere along the lines of 99% success rate when hunting prey and making kills. If Saladin chose the eagle as his battle standard, that was probably the reason.

Pan-Arabism did not do much in changing Arab-Kurdish perceptions. Before the Pan-Arabist period (the 1950s and earlier) the Kurds had already attempted to secure an independent state and gained the ire of the Nationalist Iraqis. The Kurds were stuck between the two sides of a doublethink ideology. The contradiction was this: Iraq should be all territories within the former British Mandate of Iraq, but the only Iraqis are those of an Arab racial character. Since the Kurds were not Arabs, they were not considered "real Iraqis", but were forced to be a part of the Arab State. Much of the conflict was between Kurds trying to secede and Iraqis forcing them to stay in a union where they were second-class.

Pan-Arabism only served to cement this pre-existing and pervasive Arab Nationalist ideology as concerns the Kurds.

Yes, Saladin had several siblings. He was born into a prominent Kurdish family, and his brothers included Al-Malik al-Afdal and Al-Malik al-Zahir. His family played significant roles in the political and military affairs of the time, especially during the Crusades. Saladin's brother, Al-Malik al-Afdal, served as a vizier under him and was involved in various military campaigns.

Kurdistan does not have dervishes; you are likely thinking of Turkey proper. The Whirling Dervishes are a Sufi Order (specifically the Mevlevi Order) who believe that through rotating their bodies while meditating they can commune with God's Divine nature and come to a fulfilling relationship with Him.

My neighbour is a Turkish Kurd. We have a very strong relationship, but I will never marry him - nor he, me. He enjoys my intellect and the fact that I am my own person. We have content that we belong in the same space and are able to connect at different levels. I love him deeply, but with all respect, I cannot make this permanent. He will marry a Kurdish woman (probably an arranged marriage) and I will go on my way. However, the both of us will miss the wanting and the love we have at this moment in time. Kurdish men can be super intelligent as is my man. Girls, I say enjoy them while you can. They will never be permanent for us British women, but this space in the university is good, so if you have a Kurdish man, please treat him gently and with love, but always, always remember he will never be permanent.

First of all Kurdish is not a religion but a race .

So you can find among the kurds , a Muslim , Christian , Jewish or what ever other religion

The Kurds speak one language but with many different dialects due to the zone
