I am well aware of Kurdish and Iranian diversity, history and politics.
You however seem to ignore the dark spots in Kurdish history and current politics while trying to set up Iran as a bigger bogeyman than facts allow for.
The persecution of Christian converts is bad, but has little to do with the treatment of Assyrian and Armenian Christian ethnic minorities in Iran. To mingle these issues is not vma valid argument.
I don’t accuse you of an agenda, but I will note that there is an ongoing attempt by Israel and neocons in the US to win over the Kurds and the regime in Azerbaijan as tools against Iran.
Therefore the Kurds are overly glamorized and romanticized in certain media.
Iran meanwhile is Armenia’s chief ally along with Russia against Israel/Turkey-supported Azerbaijan.
P.S.:
Nontheless the relations between Iran and the KRG Kurds are quite good and pragmatic. Actually Iran is doing a balancing act in Iraq between the Kurds (as you surely know an Iranic people) and the Shia Iraqis (with whom they share the Shia creed).
It’s less the Kurds that are causing concern for Iran, but rather the Israeli attempt to instrumentalize the Kurds against Iran.
I watched and cheered during the #IranElection phase on Twitter. The brave young people almost pulled it off. They exposed the stolen election and it looked like they would prevail. Until the foreign techs came in and used technology to hunt them down. Many were imprisoned and a large number were killed.
I admire Persians. Have know a number of them. Here in the Us most of them don't choose to be described as Iranian.
In my opinion:
Totalitarianism in all forms is evil. Progressive Socialist Marxist Fascist Communist Dictator Islamist Bureaucrat. Freedom works.
I assume you are in the US and represent Iran in some fashion here.
The conviction of the Mullahs to destroy Israel at any cost is absolutely sickening. Such hate. It's the reason for their obsession with obtaining Nukes. And Obama & Kerry have done all they can to accomidate that desire.
The division between Shia & Sunni are currently being blurred in Iraq. By stealth with commanders. Not with the will of the people (a foreign concept in Iran).
