Kurds, who as a group are overwhelmingly Muslim, also portray themselves as more religiously tolerant. "Right now I am working with Muslims, Yazidi, Christians -- we're all working together,” said one high-ranking KRG official.

“They celebrate occasions together. It is something very beautiful. I have friends who pray and friends who don't, that is not my problem. That is their choice. That is how Kurdish people think about religion."

Isn't this refreshing?

Living in New York, I know a few Kurds who moved here over 20 years ago.

I was a customer of one of them whose business is providing windows frames....

Anyway, my impression is they are the sort of Muslims who are not overly religious. They’re not into the “Pray Five Times a Day facing towards Mecca” sort of thing.

In fact, I find them woefully ignorant of what the Koran actually says.

Which is OK in my book :)
