Reddit reviews Glencoe World History

Hahahaah okay calling your bullshit.

Here I'll do you the favour of giving you the textbook from Canada/US here

Also you could actually check out the sources that are in wikipedia claiming he was kurdish.

Oh look I took just one. Eddé, Anne-Marie "Saladin" trans. Jean Marie Todd Harvard University Press, 2011, p. 17, ISBN 978-0-674-055559-0, "Syria, all the territory of present day Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine and Israel". A biography published by Harvard on Salahdin, also saying he's Kurdish. But it must be all propaganda and lies, because the Turkish education system said everyone else is lying and he's actually Turkish.

Hey check out this history channel documentory about him oh look he's stated to be Kurdish, from a Kurdish family.

Seriously. What evidence do you have. He named some cities with Turkish names? He also named cities Arabic names, Kurdish names, Druze names. He controlled a Islamic empire with every culture/ethnicity in the middle east.

I really can't forgive how BS your argument is. Bring facts or stay home son.

Edit: I also forgot. You're one source, is litterally a rewritten rendition of what a "Jewish historian" wrote. So it's a collection of written pasages. Lets look at who the authors actually are and who wrote this "history" or their view of it.

Diceto is who wrote that writen passage you linked. Ralph de Diceto was a dean of a cathedral in Middlesex in 1180AD. Let's check out his wiki. Oh look here Though an annalist, Diceto is careless in his chronology. The documents which he incorporates, while often important, are selected on no principle.


No other pasage by any other author uses that term. Please give me more peer reviewed sources other than that one source. Seriously, please.

So a religious dean and not a historian happens to call him Salahdin the Turk, while every other modern (as well as ones back to the 1800s) historian calls him a Kurd.

Any more links for me to read?
