History mentioned in the article aside for a minute, I'd like to be specific here regarding the Kurds, all or most political Kurdish parties included.

In just over 3 decades (since the Islamic Khomeinist regime in Iran came to power), the Kurds in Iraq, Syria, Turkey and Iran have been, mostly (not all, but mostly), Secular (separation of religion from state). Being secular has many advantages. For one, religious persecution of minorities is diminished, if not totally stopped.

I use that date i.e. Islamic Khomeinist regime in Iran as a significant starting point, because, since then we've seen a rapid spread in Islamism, Islamic terrorism, and Islamic govts being installed in the M.E. and N. Africa.

To be Secular as the majority of Kurds are, and don't want to live under Sharia, in my view, is a Very Good thing, in mentioned regions.

Unfortunately, Obama since 2011 simply has worked to not only topple secular govts in mentioned regions, but also actively support Islamic factions, groups and play them against one another, then bomb one country after another. And, NO, Obama does Not care about Christians either.
