Kurds are Iranian Gypsies. Kurds are originally from India. Kurds came from Persia 500 years ago and were settled by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent in this area and before that they had no history in it (there is a documentary study on this topic) and now to the search for Arabism Salah al-Din (study) Transfer start Salah ad-Din al-Ayyubi was an Arab, not a Kurd, and this is a short and concise statement proving that There were many differences in the Ayyubid ancestry after historians mentioned many and contradictory words about it, but it is well known among the people that the Ayyubids descend from the Kurds, but this statement is likely, but rather a false statement, because the Ayyubid kings themselves denied the Kurdish origin and were associated with the Arabs and We find this in the book "Al-Faya'at al-Manea fi al-Faraid an-Nasiriya" and this book is the Diwan of writing Sultan an-Nasir Daoud ibn al-Malik al-Malik Isa ibn al-Malik al-Adil ibn Ayyub, who died in 656 AH. It was compiled by his son, King Amjad al-Hasan ibn Daoud al-Ayyubi. After the king discussed everything that was said regarding the origin of his ancestors, he stated that they were not Kurds and said that his Ayyubid ancestors were descended from Arabs, so they were attributed to Kurds, and this was a falsification, he confirmed !
