“Kurdistan is a stunning success. It belies stereotypes that Muslims can’t govern themselves peacefully, practice consensual government, or create vibrant economies”

FROM WIKI
It is been said that Kurds “hold their Islam lightly”, meaning that their faith tends not to be as assertive as it can become in other areas[87]. One consequence, for example, has been the greater freedoms enjoyed by Kurdish women; they do not cover their faces, their hijab is less restrictive, and they do not wear full-cover garments such as the Iranian chador or Arabic abaya[88] [89].
