You said — Most Kurds are Muslim.

The following is what I would refer to, and it’s exactly those people who did the “honor killing” that I referred to — of the young girl going out with that young Muslim boy. She was killed for going out with that Muslim boy, and also wanting to get married to him.

I think the *key* in understanding that “phrase” you presented to us — is the word “officially* ... LOL... [wink, wink]


The original religion of the Kurds was Yazidism, a religion greatly influenced by Jewish, Zoroastrian, Christian and Islamic beliefs.[82][84] However, there are significant differences between Yazdanism and Zoroasterianism, such as the belief in re-incarnation. Most Yazidis live in Iraqi Kurdistan, in the vicinity of Mosul and Sinjar.[85] The Yarsan (or Ahl-e Haqq) religion is practised in western Iran, primarily around Kermanshah.


From the section that says Yazdanism [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurdish_people [
