The Yazidi are all Kurds, the Yazidi are persecuted by muslims who accuse them of devil worshipping,Brian would like to pass off the Yazidi,christians and atheists who brought human rights to Kurdistan as muslims.
The Kurds are beig attacked by Brian's muslim mates from the Islamic state.

Turkey is bombing the Kurds,Erdogan says there is no difference between the Islamic state and the PKK.

Turkey does not allow the Turkish kurds to speak or teach their Kurdish language,Turkey does not allow Kurds to give their children Kurdish names.

Between 1983 and 1991, it was forbidden to publicize, publish and/or broadcast in any language other than Turkish, unless that language was the first official language of a country that Turkey has diplomatic relations with.[11] Though this ban technically applied to any language, it had the largest effect on the Kurdish language, which is not the first official language of any country, despite being widely spoken in the Kurdistan region.[12]

In June 2004, Turkey's public television TRT began broadcasting a half-hour Kurdish program,[13] and on March 8, 2006, the Radio and Television Supreme Council (RTÜK) allowed two TV channels (Gün TV and Söz TV) and one radio channel (Medya FM) to have limited service in the Kurdish language. This legislation came into force as an effort to meet one of the European Union’s requirements for membership in its talks with Turkey. The new regulation will allot five hours of weekly radio broadcast and four of television.[14]

Despite these reforms, use of Kurdish in the public sphere and government institutions was still restricted until several years ago. On June 14, 2007, the Interior Ministry took a decision to remove Abdullah Demirbaş from his office as elected mayor of the Sur district of Diyarbakır. They also removed elected members of the municipal council. The high court endorsed the decision of the ministry and ruled that "giving information on various municipal services such as culture, art, environment, city cleaning and health in languages other than Turkish is against the Constitution.[15]

This is despite the fact that according to the above-mentioned municipality, 72% of the people of the district use Kurdish in their daily lives. In another case, the mayor of Diyarbakır, Osman Baydemir, is being subjected to a similar set of interrogations and judicial processes. His case is related to the use of the Kurdish phrase Sersala We Pîroz Be (Happy New Year) in the new year celebration cards issued by the municipality. The prosecutor wrote: "It was determined that the suspect used a Kurdish sentence in the celebration card, ‘Sersala We Piroz Be’ (Happy New Year). I, on behalf of the public, demand that he be punished under Article 222/1 of the Turkish Penal Code".[15]

At present these issues have been solved since quite a long time; the official website of the Municipality today is trilingual: Turkish, Kurdish and English.[16]

The Kurds have equal rights for women which is unheard of in the middle east,Erdgan said women will never be equal to men which is something muslims claim.

Kurds who are majority Muslims, appear to be very forward and modernist in their thinking.   However, we are assured by Baronvert that the Kurds are not Muslim and by Moses, Yadda, Soren, Freediver, et al, that there is no modernity movement within Islam.   So obviously this media report must be wrong....

You are completely missing the point. These decrees are un-Islamic. There is no way you can get around it. Islam is not a region or a race it is the belief in the Koran and that Mohamed was the messenger of God. Don’t try going all relativist on us. Islam is evil and that is why these decrees have been made.

...........Islam is not a region or a race it is the belief in the Koran and that Mohamed was the messenger of God...........   

Islam can be evil, if interpreted in a particular way, Issuevoter.  Just as Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, you name it.   It can also be quite good.  It all depends on what the believers believe and how they act, Issuevoter.   That you characterise an entire religion of 1.6 billion believers as "evil" shows that you're thinking in stereotypical ideas, rather than reality.   Indonesia, some 300 million Muslims (approximately) is very different to the Muslims of Saudi Arabia.   The Indonesians tolerate and accept other religious beliefs within their society and allow them to practice their religions freely, unlike Saudi Arabia at the other extreme which won't allow churches, worship or any other temple within their borders.    I really think you need to look out at the reality of the world, rather than read the stereotypes that the MSM present to you or even what the web claims about Islamic beliefs and practices.  In reality, Islam is diverse in it's beliefs and practices.
