kurds is like the quiet scrappy underdogs bound to win out in the end through steadfast perseverance of course you should root for them; of course as soon as they come to power they will purge someone or other and then you'll start rooting for someone else: see alawites for reference

KURDISTAN FOR THE KURDS

oh well i guess looking into it they're pretty religiously diverse and also religioflexible, they take all sorts of liberties with their practices and are probably actually a bunch of syncretic turds (heh) so maybe they won't immediately slaughter anyone who comes under their power, another reason to root for them

It's also one of the few relatively safe parts in Iraq since insurgents don't want to mess with the peshmerga and also the kurd areas have good economic growth as a result.

technically every single person has their own, unique religion. let's call it "faith". organized religion is about turning people against each other for the personal benefit of its founder and tends to be modelled after the founder's faith
