Of course we're all thrilled that Paradox is making this game at all...though I couldn't care less for Salahaddin, it's a bummer that I won't get to play as Selcuk Turks. Think of it this way, I'm sure you'd be feel a little let down had Paradox decided Scandinavia (excluding Denmark) was out of CK's scope 
Of all the Muslim dynasties of the time, I agree that the Seljuks would be the best to play, simply beacuse they had developed a governmental system that was fairly parallel to the feudalism of Western Europe of the time. The Sultan was at the top, and more or less enfiefed members of his own family with large areas (Kerman, Rum, Syria, etc.) which would be the equivalent to Western duchies, with other native and Turkish dynasties (such as Khwarizm, Sistan, Yazd, Azerbaijan, even the Abbasid Caliphs) ruling the equivalent of duchies and counties. So I could see how the feudal system of CK could translate over to the Seljuks, though the fit isn't as good for the other dynasties of Islam at the time (such as the Fatimids)...
