Not completely -- the Kurds were the main people who carried out the Armenian Genocide when Armenian Christian women were gang-raped and then nailed to crosses

They are now much more accepting of Judaism, Christianity and retain Yazidism and Zoroastrianism.

I support them tentatively today, but would be happier if they toss of Islam completely -- until then I will remember their part in the Christian genocide

It's unfair to say "the Kurds were the main people who carried out the Armenian Genocide."

The Armenian Genocide during WW1, to which I think you were referring, was carried out by Arabs, Turks and muslims of Caucasian tribes, and some Kurdish tribal forces. Other Kurds, I have read, opposed the genocide (or ethnic cleansing) and in many cases even tried hiding or adopting Armenian refugees. (Henry H. Riggs, Days of Tragedy in Armenia: Personal Experiences in Harpoot, page 158, 1997.)

I think it's important to remember there are different Kurdish tribes, dialects (even languages) and political parties even today.

What I like about the Kurds is 1. many Kurdish tribes have learned to evolve for the better since WW1. 2. they, overall, have a much stronger sense of nationalism and therefore are much more secular in attitude & their politics than many Arabs at least. In the muslim world, that's definitely a plus.
