Why "Arab" Eagle?
[edit]How come it is known as the "Arab" eagle, and when was it first mentioned like this?
Saladin's Ayyubid Dynasty was Kurdish, not Arabic. Given the importance of the eagle in Kurdish culture and society, and of course its widespread appearance in the mountains of Kurdistan, "Kurdish Eagle" is more suitable if you want to give this eagle an ethnic label. Nothing Arabic about the eagle or the man/dynasty that created it.
