The Kurds suffer the same situation of many Sunni and even Christian tribes here, Europe and the Ottoman Empire both took turns splinting up century old communities with borders that grouped many different peoples with opposing opinions and ways of life together.
In a part of the world where heritage is far more important than State and nationality, this in part is a factor in the rampant instability in the Region.
The Kurds differ as they are very pro west, very pro democratic and well, not insane. Have equal rights for women and respect Jews and Christians as well as both Sunni and Shiite tribes here.
I hope that the Kurds finally one day get a home they can call Kurdistan. However I am saddened that may never happen without intense bloodshed first.
I have to agree with this post and unfortunately all these groups: Kurds, Christians and Shiites are persecuted by these nut cases called ISIS "they killed 10's of thousands of innocents. Unfortunately for the Kurds the best I think they can hope for is an autonomous region perhaps including parts of Iraq and or Syria, but I could be wrong.
The European Countries have already created a mess by establishing borders where there shouldn't be any .
Haven't all strong countries over the years redrawn countries borders to suit their needs
