yeah and the byzantines were politeists which believed in Zeus and his Gods. they were converted to christianity after the latins plundered Konstantinopolis ;)

-turks are not mongols
-turks converted to Islam in the 8th century after they allied with the arabs and fought against the chinese.
-the city in english (and i think in Greek too) is called Manzikert and in turkish Malazgirt
-Saladin was the only kurdish leader in History so which kurdish dynasties are you talking about?

kalatawes? edaxi?
