yeah, so? if I post a picture of Elvis with a red arrow pointing towards him claiming that he's alive and a Martian, it would not make it true.
The publication OP refers to is an illustrated letter written by Columbus himself and it makes no mention of him being an Ottoman (muslim) or Cossack (christian) or Tatar (muslim). That claim makes no sense at all anyway because nobody could be those three at once.
Did you read the caption?

The claim was made by pointing out an engraving in "Insula Hyspana" from 1493, by the subsequent writer (no the OP here).
The red arrow has nothing to do with it. It doesn't take away nor add to the original claim. You did NOT address the original claim.
So, your original reply about the red arrow is just a ruse.
Learn to admit your errors, grow up or expect to be treated like another casuitry-artist.
