I don't think their religion matters. They've been taking care of the land that they've lived on, and proving to be an extremly effective and willing ally. That while the rest of Iraq has fallen apart.
General As the Kurds vote for a non-binding Independence,Let's go back to 2003.

Yeah I was watching a documentary on Iraq and Christians said the best time they've ever experienced was under Sadaam.

The Kurds are a very proud people.they don't consider themselves Iraqis. The recent conflict is a chance for them to stand up as a nation and show that.

The Iraqi army can't afford a fight with the Peshmerga with ISIS still occupying a (small) portion of their land.
This will be resolved peacefully, and the Iraqi Kurds will have their country.
The Iraqi army couldnt afford a fight against the Peshmerga on its own regardless of Isis.
Led to a huge brawl in Turkish parliament, with MPs basically trying to drag him out and execute him on the spot.
“They attempted a lynch on my person because I cited the civilians massacred by the state. They say ‘The security forces don’t massacre’. Is that so? If you had any dignity, you wouldn’t say that, for I am a man whose 34 relatives were massacred by the security forces. How is that for not massacring? The AKP MPs who attempted to lynch me, may I fall even lower than you if I fear you for a minute.” - MP Ferhat Encu

He's been held as a political prisoner in Turkey since December of last year.
Eleven of his family members were killed by a Turkish Air Force strike when crossing the border from Iraq on mules, carrying containers of gasoline that they were going to use. They weren't PKK terrorists and the Turkish government admitted its mistake soon after.
The guy has a right to be bitter.

Suicide mules. What will they think of next.
It's true.
The fuckin mongols ended up in Irak and siege Baghdad if I recall.
That's crazy but they did it.
So so true
Mongols reached Vienna.
Mongol privilege, that is what people must've been thinking at the time....right?
Didn't get properly past the danube really.
That they reached Europe is well documented but what is little spoken of is that they also raided the fucking middle-east
Which cunt picked where the middle is ?
I wish I hadn't shared the link to the Chronography now. I've been blocked.

For sharing a link? Don't they want people to visit their site?
I don't think it was R. Bedrosian. It was probably the publisher Gorgias Press. The link worked fine when I posted it. It's a shame, The Chonography is a great read.. Damn it.
I'd say it was the work of the Kurds but they don't possess the technical wherewithal for that.
The Israelis perhaps
Crazy thing is they spared the Christians in Iraq, for the most part. The Arabs had allowed them to continue their missions in the far east and by that time the Church Of The East had more members than did the Roman Catholic Church. Millions of adherents spread out from Iraq all the way to China. Harat in Afghanistan was the launching point for the missions to China, Japan and Korea. Much of their literature was in the Old Sogdian language of Sogdiana, not in the customary classical Syriac. There was even one Chinese pope of the Church Of The East, Mar Yahbh-Allaha lll, whose friend, an elderly Mongol-Turk Syriac monk was sent to Rome by Genghis Khan as his emissary to discuss an allegiance between Europe and the Mongol Horde against Islam which Genghis despised. In fact there were several Mongol Turk Assyrian Christian tribes that rode with the Horde and certain Khans had Christian wives.
I would include a link to the very interesting...
