Yazdanism refers to native monotheistic religions practiced among Kurds: Alevism, Yarsan and Yazidism. The main element in Yazdani faiths is the belief in seven angelic entities that protect the world, therefore these traditions are named as Cult of Angels The original religion of the Kurds was Yazidism, a religion greatly influenced by the Jewish, Deavic, Zoroastrian, Christian and Islamic beliefs. However there are significant differences between Yazdanism and Zoroasterianism, such as the belief in reincarnation. Most Yazidis live in Iraqi Kurdistan, in the vicinity of Mosul and Sinjar]. The Yarsan (or Ahl-e Haqq) religion is practised in western Iran, primarily around Kermanshah. Christianity and Judaism both are still practised in very small numbers. Rabbi Asenath Barzani, who lived in Mosul from 1590 to 1670, was among the very first Jewish women to become a rabbi.

To Lam:
There are more Kurds than Palestinians in the world.
To answer you question, yes it is sad.
A lot of it has to do with Turkey. If they could find a way to get Independence from Turkey I am sure the Iraqi Kurdish Area would soon fall in as well.
After that Syrian and Iranian Kurdish areas would also become part of the new Kurdish state.
G-d willing in time it will happen.

Yes. And to be honest I do think that is a shame. The problem is that you guy s got split up mostly between Turkey and Iraq. I think that if Turkey didn't have such a big problem with it, the US would have given you a state by splitting Iraq.
You are about the coolest guys in the region. Sorry.
