What about the Kurds?

by: Karim Abdullah

Sep 28, 2002

The plight of the Palestinian resonate loudly with the Muslim world, but what of the Kurds? They, too, are a landless and stateless people who are being oppressed and are equally deserving of a country of their own yet there is little or no attention paid to them.

Why is that? Is it because these Kurds occupy lands that are under the control of Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran-- the fellow Muslim countries whom we dare not criticise for the sake of Islamic unity?

The Kurds are treated far worse than the Palestinians, in my opinion. Because they are neither Turks, Arabs, or Persians, but a distinct ethnic group with their own culture and language.

Until recently, Turkey denied the Kurds to speak their own language. Iraq has long mistreated the Kurds, even using them as human guinea pigs to test chemical weapons. Where was the OIC and the Ummah then?

It is a shame that we accuse the West of humiliating and mistreating Muslims, when we ourselves do it so well.
