The term "Kurds" is an ETHNIC classification. It refers to a group of people who have similar cultural norms, a unique language, and similar appearance. Kurds actually have a huge religious diversity. While the majority of them are Sunni Muslims, there are also religious minority Kurds, such as the Yarsani, Yezidi, Zoroastrian, Christian, and Jewish Kurds.
