Its the same race...there are Kurds in Turkey also...but their nationality is different so they speak the same language and have the same traditions ... They have been trying to separate from both and make their own country for many many years now but it never happened

No. But my best friend is a Kurdish Iraqi, and she spent 4 months there last year. She had her ups and downs. But what speaks volumes is that she saw her family's oil being taken by US officials with her own two eyes. (she comes from a wealthy family and they have lots of that). She was also staying in a mansion made of marble but there wasn't even any water to flush the toilets with. Pretty depressing.

Iran is a multi-ethnic country. Despite what most people think in the U.S. only 3% of the Iranian nationals are Arabs(who are ethnically semitic,most closely related to Jews).\n51% are Persian , 24% are Azeri Turks( which is different from Turkish Turks, but the same as people from the country of Azerbaijan which was part of the Soviet Union/Russia until the early 1990 s  and was part of Iran until the early 1800 s)\n 7% are Kurds , 8% are Gilaki/Mazandarani (people from the caspian sea shore region) , 2% are Lur (closely related to kurds) , 2% are Baluchi (related to Indian/Pakistani people), 2% are turkman (related to Mongols/Khazaks) and 1% are "other" (mostly Armenians/Assyrians). Racially speaking all of the above ethnicities are considered "white" except for the Arabs , turkmans,and baluchis . The words Aryan and Iran come from the same root and Iran literally means " the land of Aryans".Iran has always been called Iran by the people that lived there, but outside of Iran ,the country  of Iran was called Persia until 1935 when the ruling king formally asked the foreign press to refer to  Persia by its indigenous name (ie:Iran) ; so in effect as far as the name goes Iran and Persia are one and the same.

Their were Jews in Muslims Country's before their were Muslims \n\nthe Jewish community in Iraq as been around for over 2,500 years. At one time their were also large Jewish groups in Medina.\n\n\nunfortunately though these groups were driven out by the Muslims over the last 1,400 years. Particularly in the last 100 with the creation of Israel.

Saddam was the Baathist party leader in Iraq.  Most Sunni's are Baathist as well.  That is the connection between the two.  Saddam is by no means a religious man.  It was on rare occasion that he even wore Arab garb.  The Sunni's enjoyed most of the perks under his watch.  Most of the army was Sunni, yet most of the Republican Guard were from his home town. These are the people that he trusted the most; these were his most loyal followers, it had nothing to do with religion. His relationship with all other segments of Iraqi society was at best, guarded.  The Kurds would have had his ass in a New York minute, given half the chance.  The Turkman had no particular edge with Saddam, and the Christians just stayed out of his way. The Shiites, particularly those in the south, had strong ties to Iran.  Iran's brand of Islam is predominately Shiite, so Saddam was not particularly friendly to the Shiites.  Saddam ruled with scare tactics and he was pretty effective with them.  He kept every one under control but at a high price.  The mass graves still pop up occasionally!

Shiites backed by Iran, after they eliminate the Sunnis, they will turn for the Kurds. The Kurds are sitting on the oil fields. There will be your war for oil!

yes, stan is in some languages non-Arabic woh has endo-european origin such as kurdish, persian, urdu I guess.  and stan as some ppl told me means territory, land, or country..etc  so Kurdistan mean kurd land, Arabistan in Iran means Arab land, Pakistan means probably Pakis land. and so on. it doesn't have anything to do with Islam I guess.  except maybe this is the names those ppl gave to their areas to Arab Muslims maybe.

the majority in Iraq , and iran are shite   but not in Turkey  as they are sonita  and strict ones(the religious)  u Can always know from the art they have,, as the Irani art and also the Iraqi in the past can have images of humans or animals(what God created)(allowed by shite)is in the turkish art (only geomatric forms)(that is what is allowed by strict sonita)  anyway the Kurds are sonite but they are not Arab (like the Iraqi) nor Turk (like the turkish)  so the problem is based on Race not religion...

The Chaldeans were the last people to rule Mesopotamia.   It is the word used to describe contemporary Assyrian people associated with the Chaldean Catholic Church.  \n\nThe Assyrians are Aramaic-speaking Christians who consider themselves to be indigenous inhabitants of Mesopotamia, and inheritors of the ancient culture of Assyria.   They are the result of the merging of different cultures, including Chaldeans.\n\nThe history is complicated.  I hope this is of some help.

Well some people are more familiar with the Iraq. I for one am familiar with Iraq's history because my parents were born there and am Assyrian. Soldiers that serve in Iraq begin to appreciate the history others have learned about. Making their respect for Iraq's (Mesopotamia) history tangible.

I have known Iranians in the past. They were all very nice and good people who became terribly upset when the Shah was deposed and the ayatollah came to power. One was in the US on a student visa and he was afraid the mad mullahs would either imprison him or force him into their war against Iraq if he ever returned.\n\nThe people of Iran deserve much better than the tyranny of the jihadists and false preachers they are currently suffering under.
