29 months, 2 weeks, 6 days, 10 hours agoKurds are the largest ethnic group of the world without a state. Comprising of nearly 40 million moderate Sunni Muslims, Kurds have endured persecution and discrimination since biblical times and have survived only through compromise with greater powers.

"Kurdistan" is illusion, not reality.
Maybe that's not fair. It's just reality. Interesting article even though it forgets to mention that "Saladin" (the islamic leader who organized middle eastern muslims and led them to victory in the battle of Hattin back in the 12th century) was a Kurd. The battle of Hattin was the one that served as the beginning of the end of Crusader occupation of the holy lands. | |
