Who was defeated by Saladin in the Battle of Tours?
The Battle of Tours occurred more than 400 years before Saladin was born. It was fought in southern France 732 C.E., where the Christian forces led by the Frank Charles Martel managed to hold back a much larger Muslim army under the command of Emir Abd er-Rahman al-Ghaafeqi. Saladin was born in 1138 in Tikrit, Iraq and was involved in numerous wars in Egypt, Yemen, Iraq, but most importantly along the Levantine coast. His most famous rivals were his former Zengid Dynasty masters in Egypt, the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem (including Balian of Ibelin), and the armies of the Third Crusade (led by Richard the Lionheart).

Why was saladin respected by christians?
In 1099 Jerusalem had fallen to the First Crusaders slaughtering its Christian, Muslim and Jewish inhabitants, after promising them safety, but did not spare the lives of children, women or elderly. The Latin Kingdom formed in the following year lasted until Saladin destroyed King Guy's army at the Horns of Hettin in 1187 and shortly after recovered Jerusalem.
In stark contrast to the Crusades 88 years earlier, Saladin, adhering to the teachings of Islam, did not slaughter the city's Christian inhabitants. Saladin's noble act won him the respect of his opponents and many more people throughout the world. King Richard I of England, better known as Richard the Lion heart, who led the Third Crusade in 1189 to recover the Holy City, met Saladin in a conflict that was to be celebrated in later chivalric romances.
Although the Crusaders failed in their purpose, Richard the Lion heart gained Saladin's lifelong respect as a worthy opponent. Saladin's generosity and sense of honor in negotiating the peace treaty that ended the Crusade won him the lasting admiration and gratitude of the Christian world.

The crusades in general had a massive effect - they created a massive rift between Christian's and Muslims, marked the rise of anti-Semitism and other religious persecution and made religious war a fact of life yet also made made many countries rich through increased change and made the western world more cultured because of the Arabian influence on architecture and mathematics. Saladin himself inspired new military tactics and inspired many people, not only Muslims, because of his strength of faith and chivalry.
Saladin was an excellent leader, and he had an excellent understanding of military matters. He was also willing to negotiate with the enemy.
Answer 1
Iraqi Kurdistan relies quite strongly on US Support and a declaration of independence would not change the de factosituation of strong autonomy and virtual independence from Baghdad, it could serve to weaken the US-Kurdistan relationship. Additionally, Turkey is Iraqi Kurdistan's largest trade partner and the main export-hub for Kurdish petroleum. A declaration of independence has the ability to frustrate a continuing Turkey-Kurdistan relationship because of the fear that Turkish Kurds could try rebel in order to join with Iraqi Kurdistan.
A problem of a secondary degree is that Iraqi Kurdistan and Syrian Kurdistan are both de facto independent, but under different leadership. This would make declaring independence seem almost to be requesting a union to sublimate Syrian Kurdish autonomy under an Iraqi Kurdistani aegis.
Contrary to Answer 2, the influence of the Syrian Regime (Assad) or the Free Syrian Army has nothing to do with Iraqi Kurdistan's decisions at all. Iraqi Kurdistan has not actually fought with either army.
Answer 2
Iraqi Kurdish does not take the opportunity of the Iraqi government's weakness to declare full independence because of the foreign influence, including Syria's hand in the ongoing conflict.

Kurds are from the Iranic race and are indo european. The Arabs are semetic. Also note that Arab is a culture not a race. There is just one requirment, you have to be semetic and have to be able to speak Arabic as your mothertounge otherwise you are not a Arab.
The real Arabs are the Arabs of Saudi Arabia and Yemen. The other "Arabs" have been Arabinised and have other ancestry.

How would politics change in this area of the Middle East if an independent Kurdistan were formed?
Answer 1
the president barzani talibanni are controlling all the currency and transferring it to the bank of Switzerland so they will a lot worse off if it was to go independent.
Answer 2
If Kurdistan were to become an independent country composing all four of the major contiguous Kurdish regions (Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Syria), Middle Eastern politics would change profoundly. The Kurds have historically shown a greater preference for a Western-style alignment than an Arab, Iranian, or Turkish alignment given their history with all three major power bases. What would likely occur is the Kurdistan would have nominal relations with its former component states, but would have strong alliances with Israel and Armenia. Unlike most Turks, the leading Kurds involved in the Armenian Genocide have admitted that it was a genocide, fostering a much likelier reconciliation. The alliance with Israel would likely stem from both their Western-style alignment, preference for democratic governance, wishing to have a counterweight to Iranian or Turkish re-invasion, and a similar history of genocide and stateless history.
An Israeli-Kurdish Alliance would take some of the pressure off of the current Israeli-Turkish Alliance and allow Israel to pursue stronger relations with Greece and Cyprus. Iran's ability to affect Syrian politics would likely be diminished. We might also see a movement in Iran of Iranian Azeris wishing to secede to Azerbaijan, but this is less likely. Also less likely, but possible, would be a Lebanese re-evaluation of their position and become less of an Arab State and more of a "intermediate" Arab-European State as bridge between the Arab World and the West.
There are two distinct questions here:
Are "Kurdish Rights within the Turkish Republic" inclusive of "Kurdish Nationalism"?
NO. "Kurdish Rights within the Turkish Republic" is separate for "Kurdish Nationalism". These both operate from the premise that the Turko-Kurdish conflict, which has resulted in over 35,000 Kurdish deaths, over 2 million internally displaced Kurds within Turkey, and numerous anti-Kurdish laws in Turkey, is oppressive towards the Kurds.
However, these two views are the different answers to the question, "How do we change this?" Those who advocate for Kurdish Nationalism want the Kurdish-majority regions in Turkey (called North Kurdistan or Southeast Turkey) to secede as the independent country of Kurdistan and leave Turkey behind. Most Kurdish Nationalist groups are violent paramilitaries and terrorist groups like the Kurdish Worker's Party (PKK).
Those who advocate for "Kurdish Rights within the Turkish Republic" want greater equality and cultural recognition within the structure of Turkey. These are people who see their homeland as Turkey and simply want to retain their uniqueness. Naturally, this is a peaceful civil rights movement, but it has often been conflated with the violent Kurdish Independence Groups.
There are some who would argue that the "Kurdish Rights within the Turkish Republic" is the Martin Luther King, Jr. to the Kurdish Nationalists' Malcolm X.
Does the Republican People's Party (CHP) advocate for Kurdish Rights within the Turkish Republic or Kurdish Nationalism?
First to deal with Kurdish Nationalism, the CHP actively refuses to permit Kurdistan to secede from Turkey and holds that the integrity of the Turkish State is paramount. Kurdish Independence has always been a non-starter with the CHP.
However, the CHP is rather divided on Kurdish Rights. There are members of the CHP like Dr. Aykan Erdemir who support Kurdish Rights and there are other members who are more cynical or conservative on such matters. The CHP has moved increasingly leftward under the stewardship of Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu and it would not surprise me if the CHP were willing to grant some concessions to the Kurds, especially if it had to form a coalition with the HDP.
Where is Indian embassy to Kurdistan in India?
Kurdistan is not an independent country and therefore does not maintain embassies. Additionally, the Indian embassy to Kurdistan would (in theory) be in Kurdistan, not in India.
The Iraqi embassy to India (which represents Iraqi Kurdistan) is in New Delhi with the following address:
L-1/2, Hauz Khas
New Delhi - 110016
India
Was Suleiman the Magnificent a Kurd?
He was not a Kurd.
---
Before asking this question what must be thought is that; can a ruler be from a different nation from his father and father's father and so on. In Ottoman Dynasty, at that time there was Greek blood but as far as I can see Kurds were not treated as first class citizens too. Later, in 1600s-1700s-1800s there are many sultan mothers that are Greek, which can make us statement that at the last times of Ottoman Dynasty were actually quite Greek.
