A people of about 40 million people with a rich history, but without their own country. Wars, difficult political situations, humiliation and violence have caused many Kurds to flee to other parts of the world. About 100,000 of them live in The Netherlands. Most Kurds are Muslim, but a small part is Jezidi. 

There is only an estimate of about 12.000 Christians among the 40 million Kurds.
