It is not an issue for all Kurds, since the majority of them are Sunni Muslims in Syria, Turkey, and Iraq, and the majority of them are Shiite Muslims in Iran (just like their non-Kurdish neighbors). The primary form of discrimination against Kurds is ethnic discrimination.
Religious discrimination is an issue for religious minority Kurds, such as the Yarsan, Yezidi, Zoroastrianism, Christianity, and Judaism. The reason that religious discrimination is an issue is because the governments of all four nations that occupy Kurdistan (Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran) have passed prejudicial legislation that treats Muslims as superiors to Non-Muslims and gives fewer countermajoritarian protections to these minority religions.
