Another thing to like about the Kurds.
After our swapping posts on them, I did a little research on these people. I found out that although most of them are Sunni Muslims, they are not particularly doctrinaire or fundamentalist about it, and many follow other sects of Islam. There are also substantial Jewish, Christian, Ba'hai and even Zorastrian communities among the Kurds. They seen to have a very tolerant attitude towards religion, a refreshing departure from that part of the world.
