majoosi's are minority mostly are sunni's then shia's then christians then jews then yezidis there are also bahai's then majoosi's
there are also some agnostics and athiests which do not believe in god but they are a very little minority and they are mostly the kurds who went to live in the west and were originally muslim, christian, jewish, etc.

PKK is a majoosi movement. Their leader said so.

Peshmarga and PKK are both terrorist organisations,to the happiness of the locals there is a huge presence of Ansar al Islam/Sunnah which fight any criminals and terrorists who terrorize locals.

Iraqi Kurdistan is part of Iraq and has always been part of it in the modern era. The original inhabitants of Northern Iraq are the Assyrians a Semetic people.

Kurds are immigrants to this territory and came from Iran since they are a Indo-Iranian people.

Iraqi Kurdistan is a tiny territory where a significant part of the population are Arabs and Assyrians. Also there is presence of Iraqi Turkmens and the sect members Yazidis (Indo-Iranians also).

80 percent of "Kurdistans" territory is in Turkey and Iran, the latter is their original homeland.

PKK are a bunch of secularists and terrorists.

While its true that kurdish is a Indo-European language, the kurdish people are not entirely homogenous group of people. Recent genetic studies has shown that kurds are most similar to jews
R1a is an Indo-European marker which is found in high quantities in Eastern Europeans and Eastern Iranians but its almost abscent in Kurds and western Persians. Kurds have high amounts of R1b which is native to western Europe and high amounts of J (semitic marker).
It just shows that modern kurds are a mixture of many people and are the original inhabitants of the area. The J haplogroup among the the kurds are likely to be assyrians who just adopted the Kurdish language. So the Assyrians didn't suddenly dissapear, they just became kurds by language.

I can give you links to these studies if you want. History is not always black and white. If you look at the genetic make up of western Iran. The so called Persian have upto 30% J marker (semitic) and high amounts of contribution from the Caucasus. Their R1a is less than 10% in western Iran but upto 25% in Eastern Iran close to Afghanistan.

I agree with you that Kurds are lighter than most Iraqi Arabs but looks can be deceving. Kurds live at higher altitude in the mountains while Arabs live in plains and deserts. Skin colour and light eyes or hair is not important. Its just a mutations which happens all over the world. There are also many Lebanese and Syrian semitic Arabs who are very light skinned like Europeans and look like mountain kurds but they are still semitic.

I think you didn't underestand my point which is not all kurds are immigrant to this area because they have over 30% J haplogroup (semitic). That means 1/3 of their ancestary is from semitic peoples. So where did all those Sumerians, Assyrians go?
They didn't just dissapear, some became Arabs by adopting Arabic and some became kurds. Modern Lebanese Arabs are also Arabs just by language. They used to be a seperate semetic peoples called Pheonicians who had their own language. So people throughout history have adopted new identitites by adopting new languages.

Pure races do not exist. No ethnic group within the Islamic world can claim to be pure. You have Arabs in the desert mixed with Turkic tribes, Pashtuns mixed with Hazara´s and Punjabis mixed with Persians.

Thanks to Islam, people intermarried.

kurds vary by looks. But yes, most of them look middle easterners some even can pass as pakistanis, these are from turkey:





These are some "white looking" kurds, but they don't look that "white" they look like palestanians and nuristanis and lebaneese, maybe even darker:





^i've seen lebaneese and palestanian and an algerian arab(s) whiter than them

The rise of Nationalism among Kurds,is the wrong path to walk upon.
