Kurdistan deserves to be. Period. The question is, will it manage to be Muslim but not Islamic? Will its women be free? If Kurdistan were to be just another backward, sexist, gagged society, then I would care not for it. But if, as I hope and expect, Kurdistan will be a truly free, truly democratic, truly open Muslim society then the west has a historical obligation to help it be.

Kurdistan deserves to be. Period. The question is, will it manage to be Muslim but not Islamic? Will its women be free?

But if, as I hope and expect, Kurdistan will be a truly free, truly democratic, truly open Muslim society then the west has a historical obligation to help it be.
