There is no Kurdish religion, as the Kurds are an ethnic/linguistic group.

They have members who are Sunni and Shia Muslims, and per this article Yezidis, who are not Muslims at all. There are a few Kurdish Christians and I believe I remember reading about Kurdish Jews. Might even be some Zoroastrians or Bahais around someplace.

I had a wonderful Kurdish/Iraqi friend in college. She was very lovely tall, black hair & eyes. She was also the one of the most gifted people I have ever met. She breezed through organic chemisrty and other high level courses. (I did OK). She told what it was like over there. She had lost many family members to Saddam’s poison gas attacks. She was not Muslim but Zoraster. However, life inside her home was sad. She was constantly at the mercy & mistreatment of the menfolk. Right here in America she was still treated at home as if she were still in Iraq. She said she NEVER EVER wanted to go back. I was surprised she was allowed to go to school. I lost track of her after graduation. I wonder about her often, what sweet person she was. Nishi, I hope you are well & Happy ! and not back in Iraq!

Opps, Jesus taught that children that curse their parents are to be put to death.. not only in OT of the Bible, but Jesus himself taught this...

* "He who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death." Ex. 21:17

* "Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? For God commanded, saying... `He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.' But you say..." Mat. 15:3-4

Western society has (because of it's tradition) left this and now we have crime out the yahzoo and our childrens death rate and violence is outragious with gang fights etc.. but Jesus himself was not one bit ashamed of his commandments.. only we are.
