They have more steppe/R1A

Why didn't Saladin find a homeland for the Kurds

Kurds are definitely a distinct ethnic group, not simply ''Sunii Iranians''.

While most Kurds in Iran and elswhere are Sunni Muslims, their identity is defined by a unique combination of language, culture and history that sets apart from Persians and other iranian people.

Wrong, they have less steppe than the rest of iranians
>>17772467
Too close to the west

They have more r1a

Outsiders cannot really define who is or who is not a distinct people. If a subgroup of people say they are not Iranian, we can only believe them.

Taken further, if the differences were truly miniscule, it would only benefit them to identify as Persian, maybe with some extra cultural flair as is common in large ethnic groups. To call themselves Kurdish only brings persecution or sidelining.

With that in mind, as it serves no benefit to themselves to identify as Kurds, I think it can be safely said they are a distinct group.

Divisive psyop propaganda spread by Jews.

Okay, let's entertain your retardation.

What benefit would an Iranian ethnic group gain from identifying as non-Iranian, especially in Iran? It would be easier to identify as Iranian. Sunni Islam isn't even illegal, or oppressed in Iran.

>>17772460 (OP)
they are sunni iranics nothing more nothing less
they commit apostacy in open. so it's not right to even say they are "sunni" iranics. rather they are iranics who use sunni islam to graft their contemporary nationalistic ethos
they are not distinct, just like how iranians are not distinct. all of these nations, along with the turks, are just remnants of old invaders who overstayed their welcome

Nigger the idea of a nation-state did not exist during Saladins time. The monarchs only cared about their nobility, and the nobility only cared about their serfs, and the serfs only cared about basic survival.

Kurds are just a made up identity.
Then again, so are many Europeans, such as "Macedonians" and "Slovakians".

>>17772460 (OP)
>Iranian
Persians and Iranians are different concepts.
Sunni Iranians? Yes.
Sunni Persians? No. Not at all. Kurds belong to a different linguistic branch from the Persians.
