Middle East Trivia Question!
Can you name a famous, nay infamous middle East leader who was born in Iraq, in Tikrit? And it isn't Saddam Hussein! The answer is Saladin. Probably the most famous Kurd of them all. This came from the fascinating Encyclopedia of the Orient. Don't know your Abu Simbel from your Abu Nidal (one is a place in Egypt- the other a terrorist!) then this is the place to look.
The Encyclopaedia of the Orient is a one-stop online resource which covers all countries and cultures between Mauritania in the west and Iran in the east, Turkey in the north and Sudan in the south. It's also completely free and they even encourage deep linking. Very well worth a look.
