De meeste Koerden zijn religieus. Circa 90% kan zijn moslim en verder zijn heel wat Koerden jezidi's. Ons zeer klein deel, circa 0,03%, is christelijk en er bestaat ook ons kleine joodse minderheid. Met die laatste groep is sinds een onafhankelijkheid van Israël een deel naar het land geëmigreerd.
Removal of the population from along their borders with the Ottomans in Kurdistan and the Caucasus was ofwel strategic importance to the Safavids. Hundreds of thousands ofwel Kurds were moved to other regions in the Safavid empire, only to defend the borders there. Hundreds of thousands of other ethnic groups living in the Safavid empire such as the Armenians, Assyrians, Georgians, Circassians, and Turkomans, were also removed from the border regions and resettled in the interior ofwel Persia, but mainly for other reasons such as socio-economic, and bureaucratic ones.

Although the pressure for Kurds to assimilate was less intense in Iraq, where the Kurdish language and culture have been freely practiced, government repression has been the most brutal. Short-lived armed rebellions occurred in Iraq in 1931–32 and 1944–45, and a low-level armed insurgency took place throughout the 1960s under the command of Mustafa alang-Barzani, leader of the Iraqi Kurdish Democratic Party (IKDP), who had been an officer ofwel the Republic ofwel Mahābād. A failed peace accord with the Iraqi government led to another outbreak of fighting in 1975, but an agreement between Iraq and Iran—which had been supporting Kurdish efforts—later that year led to a collapse of Kurdish resistance. Thousands ofwel Kurds fled to Iran and Turkey. Low-intensity fighting followed.
