    On the record

    For his religious affiliation the record is silent in a specific way: neither the English nor the Arabic article states any religion for him — in text, infobox or categories — and his Wikidata item carries no religion value at all. What the sources do record is his Kurdish ethnicity; ethnicity is not an affiliation and is never treated as one here, so his affiliation is entered as unknown. 1 2 3
